About this listen

You’ve got everything she wants....

Newly married Natasha has the perfect house, a loving husband, and a beautiful little girl called Emily. She’d have it all if it wasn’t for Jen, her husband’s ex-wife who just won’t leave them alone....

Then Natasha returns home one day to find her husband and Emily gone without trace. Desperate to get her daughter back, Natasha will do anything even if it means accepting an offer of help from Jen. But can she trust her? And do either of them really know the man they married?

If you loved The Girl on the Train, Gone Girl or The Couple Next Door, then this dark, twisting psychological thriller from Amazon best-seller Jess Ryder is guaranteed to grip you.

"This is, without a doubt, one of the best psychological thrillers I have read this year.... OMG this book is so darn good!.... I kept telling myself, 'Just one more chapter', then before I knew it, I had devoured it in one day! If you are looking for a fast-paced engaging read, this is the book for you! I highly recommend giving it a whopping 5 stars." (Sistas with Books Book Club, 5 stars)

I have been struggling to find a good audio book recently and have lost count of the amount I have returned.

This one I thought was really good, good relatable characters, good story, good twists and good narration.

Loved it

Absolutely Brilliant

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
I struggled to like Natasha as the voice of the narrator made her sound whinging and despite plot developments I don’t feel her character grew flesh.

I rarely write full reviews but when this is billed as ‘a gripping psychological thriller ‘ I felt I needed to reset expectations.

It is good but not brilliant. Change of narrator would help but I didn’t find it a page turner.

Good but marred by narrator

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
This book kept me reading until the early hours! Will be trying more from Jess Ryder.

Gripping

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Great story. Gets you gripped. gets a touch sidelined at times, but wade through those bits. Highly recommended.

Fabulous

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Thrilling but need to concentrate as same voice used for different people and it is easy to lose track of who is narrating.

Parallel stories and different time sequences

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
