Summary

A gripping psychological thriller from the bestselling author of Follow You Home and The Magpies.

It was the job she had dreamed of since childhood. But on her very first day, when an unnerving encounter drags up memories Sophie Greenwood would rather forget, she wonders if she has made a mistake. A fatal mistake.

What is her ambitious young assistant really up to? And what exactly happened to Sophie's predecessor? When her husband and daughter are pulled into the nightmare, Sophie is forced to confront the darkest secrets she has carried for years.

As her life begins to fall apart at work and at home, Sophie must race to uncover the truth about her new job...before it kills her.

Chilling and thrilling

This.book had me hooked from start to finish. I liked all the twists in the story and the two paralell.narratives. The.narrator was good although her voice was at times annoying. I recommend this.book to lovers of thrillers.

Lots of twists, interesting plot, claustrophobic

Mark Edwards' crime thriller is interesting because there is a massive psychological element to it. At times it is claustrophobic, especially as the protagonist continues to believe her assistant is plotting to overthrow her. While it does become slightly over the top, it's still gripping and engaging.

Fairly good

Took me a while to get into the narration but once I did I enjoyed listening very much. The plot was a bit weak, fairly predictable but enjoyable non the less.

Gripping stuff

Enjoyed this audio book - it's the first one I've listened to by Mark Edwards though I've read all his others so I knew to expect something gripping and psychological. I didn't think the plot was quite as clever as some of his others as a lot of loose ends needed to be explained by the policeman at the end, however still a really good story from someone with a dark and clever imagination. Great narration - she did all the accents really well.

Narrator needs to work on accents

So many times nearly didnt finish this book as the accents made me cringe, They are Awful! Would not listen to anything narrated by this person again. The book its self was fine but I would reccomend reading it yourself rather than getting it on audio

Gripping!

One of the best of Mark Edwards books. Absolutely fantastic, so many twists and turns. Loved how part of it was set in Brighton as I used to live there!

Challenging to listen too

Sadly I am struggling to finish this book. The dreadful ultra sweet voice of the narrator and a very silly heroine,

Will keep,trying.
