About this listen

 THE NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER

‘Diamond is the master of gripping literature’ Evening Standard

‘The Queen of Grip-lit is back… All hail the new Queen of Crime!’ Heat

‘A web of a plot that twists and turns and keeps the reader on the edge of their seat’ Sun

Can you keep a secret? Your life depends on it…

When Bridget Reid wakes up in a locked room, terrifying memories come flooding back – of blood, pain, and desperate fear. Her captor knows things she’s never told anyone. How can she escape someone who knows all of her secrets?

As DS Imogen Grey and DS Adrian Miles search for Bridget, they uncover a horrifying web of abuse, betrayal and murder right under their noses in Exeter.

And as the past comes back to haunt her, Grey must confront her own demons. Because she knows that it can be those closest to us who hurt us the most…

Perfect for fans of Cara Hunter and Angela Marsons. If you love The Secret, don’t miss Katerina Diamond’s twisty thriller The Heatwave.

‘A dark, twisting tale that won’t fail to captivate.’ Mint Velvet

‘This gem of a crime novel is packed with twists until the last page.’ Closer

I'm not a particularly avid reader but love a book like this that just draws you in.

Absolutely gripping.

A fantastic follow on from the first book' The Teacher '( my favourite book ever ) gritty, gory, well written and narrated. Can't wait for the next instalment.

Brilliant!!!!

a much better story than the first one and much less confusing, especially with all those flashbacks.

much better than before

A great story and like the first in the series it extremely well told. As the book went on I began to question the characters as they seemed to change from the last book. Imogen Grey seems to lose some of her strength and grit to the point you start to ask yourself if she is the same character. As the book goes on you have to suspend disbelief and accept the number of coincidences including the cliffhanger at the end!
Worth a read! :)

Different but as gripping as the first
