Story
Mark and Melissa Cain are thrilled to have found Jade, a babysitter who is brilliant with their young children. Having seen her own house burn to the ground, Jade needs them as much as they need her. Moving Jade into the family home can only be a good thing, can’t it? As Mark works long hours as a police officer and Melissa struggles with running a business, the family become ever more reliant on their babysitter, who is only too happy to help. And as Melissa begins to slip into depression, it’s Jade who is left picking up the pieces. But Mark soon notices things aren’t quite as they seem. Things at home feel wrong, and as Mark begins to investigate their seemingly perfect sitter, what he discovers shocks him to his core. He’s met Jade before. And now he suspects he might know what she wants.

Story
The white-washed Italian villa is perfect. I thought it might feel odd, living in a stranger’s house for the summer, but as my husband and children swim in the infinity pool, I start to relax. And then, in the back of a wardrobe, I find something that shatters everything.... Sparkling green eyes, square jaw, lopsided smile. A young man with his arm around a beautiful woman. The picture is old and faded, but I’d recognize him anywhere. The man is my husband.

Carly had thought they’d always live there. The beautiful Cornish cliffside house they’d taken on as a wreck, that Mark had obsessively redesigned and renovated - a project that had made him famous. It was where they’d raised their children, where they’d sat cozily on the sofa, watching storms raging over the sea below. It was where they’d promised to keep each other’s secrets. Until now. Because Mark has fallen in love. With someone he definitely shouldn’t have. Someone who isn’t Carly. And suddenly their family home doesn’t feel like so much of a safe haven.

I jumped at the chance, and within days I had made new friends and began dating a wonderful man. For the first time in years, I feel safe. But soon strange things begin to happen in my flat: odd noises in the night, the feeling that I’m being watched. When I discover an old dress hidden behind my wardrobe and wear it to work, the atmosphere chills instantly. The dress belonged to a girl my boss would rather forget. The girl before me who vanished.

Great
This was a very emotional read, more so than I expected. Written from several points of view, the reader gets a full insight into what each of the characters are thinking and feeling. I could feel the anguish and frustration of Justin mounting with every page, whilst Alicia's heartbreak and pain was palpable. This book definitely packed an emotional punch.
I listened to this on audio. The narration was very good and the character's easily identifiable.

Quite Good
Lots of tragedy and a catalogue of disasters leading to a bit of an improbable scenario but an enjoyable read nonetheless. Not sure the twist at the end was exactly a surprise but still justice got done. Not too sure about the narrators male voices but ignore that and it’s worth a listen.

Long winded. Copious use of word extensions - confusedly, bewilderedly.
The story and plot weren’t bad but read so slowly especially at the end if each chapter. So much so that I thought my phone’s battery had died several times.
Reader’s voice grated before halfway through book. :(

Could have been completed in one chapter
This has to be one of the most boring books I have ever read/listened to!
The entire story could have been told in a couple of chapters. It was bulked out with absolute rubbish.
Basically, the woman involved in 'The Affair' really, really loved her husband - or so she kept saying. The narrator sounded as though she was running for a bus - over dramatised all the way through and just sounded out of breath. The teenage daughter 'Pumpkin' was a spoiled brat, The husband had no backbone where his wife was concerned, the .plot. jumped around all over the place - and the only reason I continued with it was because it had cost me a whole credit!! Don't waste yours

What did I just listen too
The MOST implausible and insipid book I’ve listened to in quite awhile. Warning: SPOILERS AHEAD!!! The main characters undergo a series of ridiculous tragedies and calamities....in the matter of a few days one of the main characters experiences the loss of his infant son, discovers his wife had an affair and that his daughter may not be his, has said daughter kidnapped and drugged, finds out his wife was raped, is betrayed by his SIL, gets stabbed, oh and did I forget to mention that his parents and sister were all murdered? Just pure drivel.

I absolutely love this book. Great story. Perfectly flawed characters. I hurt so badly for Justin. I wanted to slap Alicia. I wanted to ground Sophie. I wanted to beat the heck out of Jess. And I wanted to kill Paul. The only thing I see wrong with this book is that I don’t consider it a psychological thriller. But I don’t care what genre it’s in, I highly recommend it.

Jumping to Conclusions
The thing that bothers me more than anything else in this story is that the characters all jump to an unfounded conclusion about the paternity of the daughter. All of the characters act the way they do in the story because of that assumption, which makes me want to scream. Find out for sure the paternity of the child and then the actions make more sense, but are way out bounds if there is no proof of the paternity. This is such a basic flaw in this story that it ruined the whole story for me.

How did I miss this?
Listening to this twisted, intense book, I kept asking myself what took me so long to purchase it.
Is it improbable? Yes. Are these people completely naive? Yes. Is the sister someone you’d like to feed arsenic for breakfast? Yes.
But somehow it worked for me.
