About this listen

The twisty psychological thriller from the Sunday Times bestselling author of After Anna and Seven Days

Everyone lies…but some lies are deadly.

For Claire Daniels, life is good. She has everything she’s ever wanted – a career she loves, friends she can rely on and a husband who dotes on her. All she needs is to start a family of her own and things will be even better than good.

They’ll be perfect.

For Alfie, it couldn’t be more different. His life with Claire is built on a lie. A lot of lies. And she can never find out.

Because Alfie has plans for her. Plans which must never come to light. But lies have a way of taking on a life of their own, and when his do, the consequences threaten to destroy everything.

I particularly enjoyed the first part of this book with the two main characters having very different views on the state of their marriage, I thought this was clever and had me hooked. I felt that the middle lost pace a bit and became a bit repetitive however the end was satisfying if a little predictable. The narration was good and suited the characters giving the listener a good sense of them. I would certainly look for other books by this author.

Better than average psych thriller

I’m so picky with my audio books. If I can’t get into the plot while I’m busy with something else I give up after a few chapters. This book had me hooked though! And, unlike others of this genre, had a really good ending. Highly recommend this book.

Couldn’t stop listening!

All in all enjoyable with good narration. I did find the story very predictable and could see the twists coming a mile off.

Good
