About this listen

When Melanie Scott is promoted to junior partner, she thinks she has put her past behind her, and while out celebrating her promotion, she meets the handsome and charming Hugo Field.

Melanie has her doubts and is haunted by her mother’s critical voice, which reminds her that she’s messed up before. But when Oliver invites her for dinner, she buries the feeling and accepts his invitation. She deserves a chance at happiness, doesn’t she?

However, the past she thought she had left behind resurfaces when she receives an email containing a name - Anne Edwards - a name she thought she’d left behind. When the emails escalate, she knows she has to find out who is behind them, but at what cost?

Melanie is about to learn that the past will now shape her future forever....

I made three false starts with this story. The breathless voice of the narrator put me off, but I knew this author was good and I was glad I persevered to the end. Brilliant story, kept me wanting to hear more.

Great story from a brilliant author

This is the second VK novel to which I've listened and the format and plot lines seem to run quite similarly to the first.
That being said, it's full of twists and turns and I changed my mind as to who the culprit was almost every other chapter.
I actually felt quite angsty at times, feeling the main protagonist's fears.
I felt the story was very good but the one thing that almost stopped me from continuing past Chapter 3 was the narrator.
I really didn't warm to her at all but fortunately, the storyline drew me in enough to keep me interested to the end.

Great for twisty storylines

I stuck with this desite the terrible narrator. I love all of this authors books. This one was a little predictable, but still enjoyable.

terrible narrator.

The narrator was dreadful. The story mediocre. I can’t recommend this book. I persevered but I am sorry that I bothered.

Dreadful narration .

Good story but it really is hard to pay attention to it as the narration is so incredibly poor, with emphasis in all the wrong places. Almost like the narrator had never spoken English before and was making the words on sight.

Story is let down by the lacklustre narration
