About this listen

**BRINGING DANGER CLOSE TO HOME . . . THE GRIPPING NEW THRILLER FROM BESTSELLING AUTHOR NICCI FRENCH**

A good deed

Can turn deadly…

When Liam unexpectedly turns up in Jude’s life after ten years of no contact, asking her for a favour, she just can’t say no. He was her first love, and even though she is now a successful doctor and about to get married, he will always be someone special to her.

But after she does the favour, she is contacted by the police, informing her that Liam has been found dead, and suddenly she is caught up in a murder investigation.

And she realises this one decision could cost her everything—even her life…

Story was irritating and nothing seemed to happen. Main character was a pathetic weak sort. Narrators delivery seemed sarcastic and grated. Definitely an average effort.

Not great

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

The intonation by the narrator was awful and annoying. The story wasn't as good as other ones by same authors.

Bad narrator

I usually enjoy Nicci French novels so I was happy to see a new title available.
Unfortunately this is not up to the usual standard and I returned before finishing.
I found the narration rather odd and jarring so this contributed to my decision to return.
overall very disappointing!

Disappointing

I have listened to several books read by Imogen Church now and never again. The sarcastic questioning tone is just dreadful. It completely rhins it for me Such a shame.

Awful narrator

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

Supposed intelligent dedicated physician somehow has enough time and stupidity to get herself involved with the one that got away and never apologised for almost killing her in a car crash 11 years earlier. Wake up and smell the set up 'Jude'. So many unanswered questions. No mention of discretion or confidentiality here. How did patronising, gaslighting Nat know about the incident before the police brought Jude home with her tail between her naive legs? A junior doc involved in a murder would be frogmarched off the premises before you can mention ' should i call my lawyer.?' narration was bearable until it came to Jude's mother who sounded like some simpleton from On The Buses. And so the story drones on.....

Flawed from.the outset
