Story
Look around you. Who holds the most power in the room? Is it the one who speaks loudest, who looks the part, who has the most money, who commands the most respect? Or perhaps it’s someone like Christine Butcher: a meek, overlooked figure who silently bears witness as information is shared and secrets are whispered. Someone who quietly, perhaps even unwittingly, gathers together knowledge of the people she’s there to serve - the ones who don’t notice her, the ones who consider themselves to be important.

Story
There’s a moment, when you meet someone new, when the connection is so strong that making a friend can feel like falling in love. That’s how it was for Connie and Ness. They met in the park while their children played, and as they talked, they realised they were neighbours. Perhaps it was only natural that they and their families would become entirely inseparable. But when Ness’ marriage ends in a bitter divorce, she is suddenly at Connie’s house all the time. Connie doesn’t have a moment to herself, no time alone with her husband, not a second to chat to her kids.

Disfunctional family

Summary
A tautly plotted mystery of dark family secrets, perfect for fans of Kate Morton.
Seraphine Mayes and her brother, Danny, are known as the summer-born Summerbournes: the first set of summer twins to be born at Summerbourne House. But on the day they were born their mother threw herself to her death, their au pair fled, and the village thrilled with whispers of dark-cloaked figures and a stolen baby.
Now 25, and mourning the recent death of her father, Seraphine uncovers a family photograph taken on the day the twins were born featuring both parents posing with just one baby. Seraphine soon becomes fixated with the notion that she and Danny might not be twins after all, that she wasn't the baby born that day and that there was more to her mother's death than she has ever been told....
Why did their beloved au pair flee that day?
Where is she now?
Does she hold the key to what really happened?

"This will keep you turning those pages. The characters are still playing on my mind." (Jane Corry, best-selling author of My Husband's Wife)

Well that was unexpected
I didn’t really know what to expect from the blurb. Frankly, the plot was a bit crackers but I’d say it’s worth a listen if you are up for some on-the-beach-style nonsense. Narration was really good - Keeley was able to narrate both POV distinctly and age the same characters in different timelines very well. I won’t say more to avoid spoilers!

A good listen
I did enjoy this book, though the story was relatively predictable, it still had enough of a mystery to keep me listening. It was also almost creepy at points; with its unknown visitors and unanswered questions. I would recommend to anyone who likes a family drama or a Agatha Christie novel.

Loved it
Wow! This was a brilliant story. Twists and turns throughout. Sadly the narration wasn't brilliant and my Alexa kept reacting to Alex!!.
Can't wait for Emma's next book 😊
