Summary

My life was perfect until she came along. Norah.

Younger, prettier and about to marry my own ex-husband, they are a walking cliché.

I hate her. I hate them both.

She’s taken everything from me - my husband, my life, my home - but I refuse to allow her to take Cassie, my beautiful daughter. That's a step too far.

Now I’ve discovered that Norah plans to have a baby of her own and that causes me no end of problems. She could destroy everything and reveal my deepest, darkest secrets.

That can never be allowed to happen.

No matter what it costs…

A psychological thriller that will keep you guessing till the end! Perfect for fans of Sue Watson, Nina Manning, Shalini Boland.

Almost But Not Quite!

I was determined to finish it but didn’t really enjoy it! Drawn out. No real interest in the plot.. Some of the narrators accents were a bit off. .. but I persevered

Pooor choice of reader!

The story itself was excellent. The characterers well drawn and very good story line. The only down side, was the reader!
I am so sorry to say this, i know she was probably doing her best, but sadly she is not good reader nor can she do a good Scouse acent. However i did like the book.

Was okay- not my favourite!

Felt that the story was drawn out at the beginning and don’t quite know where it was going. I must admit I got a little confused too. But once I got in to it, I enjoyed it but it wasn’t one of the best between these 2 authors. Didn’t see the ending coming either.

Exceeded my expectation

So many twists and turns, well written and exceptionally well read. Poor reading can ruin a good book, but I really enjoyed the voice and the pace of reading of this book.

An interesting start with a good performance

Perhaps a little predictable but overall an interesting listen which helps your attention. Excellent performance that was a pleasure to listen too.

Sadly disappointing

I have read all the Sally Rigbys with an absolute passion and enjoyed the one they wrote as Amanda Rigby so I was waiting so excitedly for this one. I pre ordered and counted down the days. Early on I nearly gave up on it because of the narrator. I have never before listened to a book and thought I don’t think I can bear the narrator’s voice anymore, But this time I did. Not her actual voice of course, which is lovely, but the way she read the story. She would be fabulous for children’s stories but was massively irritating in this one, sounding patronising and some of the voices sounded like she was trying to do a comedy voice.
The story I probably would have rated higher but I couldn’t get into it because of the narration and then the hugely disappointing end. Nothing more frustrating than a book that leaves you with more questions.
Sorry Sally, Amanda and Jenny. Sally please carry on your previous series of books!

Awful attempt at accent

Enjoyed the story but distracted by the poor attempt at a Liverpool accent. Vowel sounds should be short! More research required I’m afraid.

Disappointing

Two great authors but this was lame storyline, so many inconsistencies and poor narration. I would have given up if it was an included book.
