About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Have you ever wanted to be someone else?

Vanessa has always found it easy to pretend to be somebody different, somebody better. When things get tough in her real life, all she has to do is throw on some nicer clothes, adopt a new accent and she can escape.

That's how it started: looking round houses she couldn't possibly afford. Harmless fun really. Until it wasn't.

Because a man who lived in one of those houses is dead.

And everyone thinks Vanessa killed him....

Don’t waste your time listening to this confusing, badly researched pile of nonsense. Wish I hadn’t. It flits about all over the place making it very difficult to follow, and the plot is simply ludicrous and full of gigantic holes. Makes absolutely no sense. I kept listening hoping it would improve but it just didn’t. A very unsatisfying and unrewarding book. My first, and last, by this author. Never ever again.

Utter nonsense
