About this listen

'Classy and ingenious new thriller' BA PARIS

THE RULES

1. Listen carefully
2. Do your research
3. Trust no one
4. Run for your life

Harriet Reed is newly engaged to Edward Holbeck, the heir to an extremely powerful American family.
When Edward’s father hands her a tape of a book he’s been working on, she is desperate to listen.
But as she presses play, it’s clear that this isn’t a novel. It’s a confession to murder.
Feeling isolated and confused, Harriet must work out if this is all part of a plan to test her loyalty. Or something far darker.
Because this might be a game to the Holbeck family - but games can still be deadly.

Critic reviews

"Stylish, riveting, hugely atmospheric—I couldn’t put it down." (Lucy Foley)

"Engrossing and unputdownable." (Caroline Kepnes)

"Captivating doesn't cover it. Brilliant doesn't do it justice. This is a dazzling, gasp-inducing plunge-pool of a novel that grips your heart and mind and refuses to let go. Absolutely stunning." (BP Walter)

Most relevant

I had high hopes for this book but it was nothing special to be honest. I enjoyed most of it until the ‘twist’ which I thought was disappointing and a little unbelievable. Overall it was okay but not brilliant like I had hoped. Narrator for me was okay, although the ‘men’s’ voices didn’t much sound like men so I got confused a few times. Just okay for me.
