About this listen

'Cleverly written. Powerful, shocking, totally believable' Sheryl Browne

The perfect daughter…

Jess Harper has spent her whole life trying to make her mum, Abigail happy and proud. And everything Jess does, from the clothes she wears, the job she has, the men she dates, are all approved by Abigail first.

The perfect boyfriend…

So when Jess announces that she has a new man in her life – plumber Adam – Abigail is less than impressed. 'A plumber? Really, Jessica....' Adam encourages Jess to break free from her mum’s manipulation, can’t she see what’s happening?

The perfect mother….

But Abigail is only doing these things to keep Jess safe, to protect her from getting hurt again…isn’t she?

Or the perfect liar?

Jess, caught in the middle, doesn’t know who to believe or trust. And then Adam vanishes without trace.

Now Jess is the police’s prime suspect and they want to know if Jess really is as perfect as she seems…

A gripping new psychological thriller from top 50 bestselling author Alex Stone. For fans of Sue Watson, Shalini Boland and S.E.Lynes

Could have told this story in 2 hours. We get she was under her mother’s spell. No need to keep constantly returning to her root issues. Far too much padding…

Too much self-analysis by the main character.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
I found the end to be a bit of a reach. Overall it was solid.

First 3/4 amazing

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
I really enjoyed this and found the believable characters came to life. The narration worked well and and the length was just right

Great story with a good plot and twists

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
was a bit slow and the amount of times the expression " i swallowed" to indicate discomfort was frankly irritating by the end of the book

too much swallowing

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
A tad too long struggled to finish. Too many flashbacks and a bit long winded

Mediocre

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