About this listen

An Unputdownable Psychological Thriller

Every home has a story. Some are better left untold.

Property developer Vivien Young thought she’d finally rebuilt her life. After a messy divorce, she’s returned to her childhood sanctuary, the grand Georgian home she now shares with her ageing father. Landing the contract to redevelop the Valley Park housing estate feels like the icing on the cake – a chance to prove she can succeed and keep her floundering business afloat.

But one fierce opponent stands in her way: Binty Fletcher, a reclusive old woman who would rather die than abandon her crumbling home on Valley Park. A woman who will do anything to protect the secrets hidden within its walls.

Determined to move forward, Vivien digs into Binty’s shadowy past, and strange connections begin to emerge – links between Binty and Vivien’s beloved home, which nestles in the shadow of the Valley Park estate.

As Binty’s desperation grows dangerous, Vivien uncovers a chilling truth: her and her father’s perfect home hides its own dark history, and Binty Fletcher isn’t the only one keeping secrets…

The 1960s era of free love collides with the high-stakes world of modern property development in this dual-timeline psychological thriller that will leave you breathless.

This book will have you gripped.
This is the story about two women battling over a property, or so you would think in the beginning.
It is so much more.
It's an intricately woven novel about lies, betrayal and deceit that creates amazing intrigue and suspense.
It has 3 POVs that are all fantastically gripping, and the character development was 10/10.
I have to say sometimes I struggle with audiobooks not hooking me in and I'm very fussy with the narration but this was superb.
This gives Lisa Jewell energy, perfect for fans of hers and love a suspenseful mystery!

Wow what a story! I didn't want it to end!

Great storyline. Reminded me a little of A Fatal Inversion, but better....and with Geordies. I couldn't guess the ending.

Kept me gripped right to the end. Every time I thought I had sussed the plot a twist came. Coming from Newcastle I could relate to the areas in the story, and having Geordies reading the book made such a difference. Definitely worth listening to.

Kept me gripped right to the end.

Brilliant story and loved the detail of the 60s era. I have read the paperback and listened to the audio and it was just as great the second time around. Definitely recommend

I loved everything about this book, especially the Geordie accents
