Absolutely LOVED this🤗💯 Katy OUTSTANDING 👏🏽

Really really enjoyed this! I was hooked to it, desperately wanting to keep looking for jobs to do so i could keep listening😊 It has a really great story line, unusual and the description of the scenes had me imagining exactly what every room and outside scene was like. I LOVE when the author and narrator can do that. Katy was as usual OUTSTANDING 💯👏🏽 She is one of my favourite narrator’s 😊 She reads so well and does lots of different characters so easily! I HIGHLY recommend this book💯💯💯 I will look for more from this author for sure! Thank you Sarah Goodwin for an AMAZING story 💯💯👏🏽👏🏽❤️ Thank you Katy Sobey for yet again your OUTSTANDING narration💯💯👏🏽👏🏽❤️ Thank you audible for another WONDERFUL book!💯💯💯👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️❤️❤️xxxx

Creepy, dark and addictive

I'll start with the obvious: Goodwin is a super talented author. This story was atmospheric and intense. If you're looking for a book you can devour in a day, this is your next read. A skillfully crafted, explosive thriller.

Not for me

I’ve really enjoyed a couple of books by this author but this one just didn’t work for me. I didn’t really like any of the characters so wasn’t invested in what happened to them. I found the descriptions of violence against women hard to listen to at times. The ending I found confusing and was left wondering what had happened.
