About this listen

Arranging the playdate was easy. Child’s play. Preparing the house was more difficult. It was only now she realized how many photographs there were. Wife, husband, child: the picture-perfect family unit. All of it a lie.

I made a new friend at playgroup today. She’s different from the other mothers. She feels like someone I can trust. Someone I can confide in.

But there are some things I can’t tell her. Things I can’t tell anyone.

Because I have a secret that no one else knows. One that still haunts my dreams, wakes me up in cold sweat at night.

Even another mother would never understand. Unless, of course, she’s hiding something, too....

From the best-selling author of The Argument, this utterly addictive psychological thriller will have you hooked. Fans of Friend Request, The Silent Patient, and The Girl on the Train won’t be able to put this down!

it was nail-biting in some parts, and like watching paint dry in others! In a nut shell, the storyline is decent, but towards the end, it didn't do it for me! I certainly couldn't do any better, but it certainly lacked lustre for the finale!
