About this listen

After the sudden death of her husband, Christine Harvey would do anything to give her precious children Molly and Ryan a fresh start. The huge clifftop house she’s hastily purchased has the most breath-taking ocean view she’s ever seen. Surely here they can someday be happy again?

But Christine had no idea that her family’s new dream house is right next door to where a child was abducted and murdered. And nobody told her that the father – who was the main suspect in the police investigation before it collapsed – still lives there.

Everyone urges her to move on, but Christine can’t stop thinking about that child. Fearing for the safety of Molly and Ryan, she frantically delves deeper into the old case, looking for anything that will give them some answers.

But some secrets are best left buried, and as the behaviour of their new neighbour grows increasingly unsettling, Christine wonders if digging up this one was the worst thing she could have done for her family…

From the number-one bestselling author, this is a captivating listen with a twist that will make you gasp. Perfect for fans of JP Delaney, The Housemaid and Shari Lapena, you won’t be able to stop listening.

The story was reasonable with unexpected twist. The narration not for me, when reading dialogue of characters the expression was too much , and unnecessarily excitable. Sorry but I won’t listen to more with this narrator. If the dialogue parts were calmer narration would be good

Not for me

The narrator style wasn’t for me, but I enjoyed the story. Good twist albeit a little far fetched

The twist

Interesting turn of events towards the end! Enjoyed the book, but absolutely hated the narration. All the men ended up sounding patronising and sleazy and Erika Sands sounds much much older than she is. Recommend a different narrator or style of narration with future titles.

The ridiculous singsong voice of the narrator made this unlistenable!!! And when the daughter is talking is even worse!!!!! I’ve had to return this and finish on Kindle - can’t listen anymore and won’t listen to any others narrated by this person.

OMG the narration is awful!!!
