About this listen

 Tamia Challey is horrified when her husband, Scott, is accused of something terrible - but when she discovers who his accuser is, everything goes into free fall. Backed into a corner and unsure what to think, Tamia is forced to choose who she instinctively believes. But this choice has dire consequences for all concerned, especially when matters take a tragic turn.


Then a stranger arrives in town to sprinkle rose petals in the sea in memory of her lost loved one. This stranger carries with her shocking truths that will change the lives of everyone she meets, and will once again force Tamia to make some devastating choices . . .

Critic reviews

Liked The Ice Cream Girls? You'll love this
If you only do one thing this weekend, read this book. It's another utterly brilliant psychological thriller from the author and we one hundred per cent recommend it
Pacy and compelling, the twists and turns come thick and fast with a surprise round every corner... a must-read
Fast-moving, and compelling.
Full of mystery and intrigue, it's a book that will grip you from the very start.
A powerful thriller about a woman's life unravelling... we were hooked from the start
I enjoyed the passion and power with which Koomson writes, and her portrayal of an emotional underworld in which nothing is clear-cut and the line between guilty and innocent is blurred
Cleverly told by three female narrators, this is a complex tale of a terrible crime... I was gripped from the start of this book and desperate to uncover the truth
All stars

A long book with twists and turns but very enjoyable. It does take a little while to get started but, then there are so many changes and revelations you can't put it down!! The narrators voice is very good too. Would recommend!

Brilliant! Kept me guessing all the way through.

Good story, well read, and although I didn't warm to the main characters I did want to know who done it and why.

Lots of twists and turns

I love Dorothy Koomson's books. She writes about regular people facing irregular problems. Her stories are compelling and unfold at a good pace and she keeps me guessing as to what will happen next. I really enjoyed this book. The central character, Tami. was my favourite. After listening to an excerpt, I eagerly looked forward to listening to the next. Adjoa Andoh has narrated several of Ms Koomson's stories. She is an excellent actress and brilliant at distinguishing characters. These two ladies make a great team.

A GREAT STORYTELLER

Thoroughly enjoyed the storyline and characters. Brilliant narration. Dragged in some parts and felt it was mostly one-sided by the sadness and misfortune of all the characters lives but I would absolutely recommend this audio book.

Fantastic storyline creatively emotive
