Summary
Yesterday, Scott was dead. Today, he’s back.
And Anna doesn’t believe in ghosts.
Scott was Anna’s boyfriend. She loved him, but he ruined her life. When he died, she should have been free, but today Scott is on the radio, threatening to spill her secrets.
Anna is a mother, a wife, and head teacher of a primary school.
And she’s a good liar.
She made one mistake, and now she is having to pay for it. Scott is the only person who knows the truth about her past, but how can he be alive?
Soon, DCI Tom Douglas is going to knock on her door looking for answers. But Anna is already running scared: from the man she loved; the man she watched die; the man who has come back to life.
She has one week to find him. One week to stop him.

Plot stretches credibility too far
Usually enjoy Rachel Abbott books but found the plot too contrived. The twist was visible a mile off and the main character makes far too many ridiculous decisions. It pushes credibility too far to think that she would be able to lead the double life she has.

A slow start but a good twist at the end
This was my least favourite Rachel Abbott book. The main character is difficult to sympathise with and much of the book is taken up with her reflections. I guessed one of the twists quite early but the final twist was a surprise.

A fabulous book
The plot is great and I love the familiarity of Tom but the new characters for this particular thriller. Completely recommended

Addictive listening!
Loved this, got hooked from beginning to end and loved the way the plot twisted and turned throughout! Will be looking for more books now by Rachel Abbott!

So so
It wasn’t boring, but the person ‘who done it’ was completely unbelievable, which spoiled the story for me. I felt like the saskia’s character had a load more life in her- she seemed to just be there for character development for the main character. But I think that she could have been developed more in the story, to make her part have an actual reason to exist in the plot. So that seemed a bit disappointing in the end.

LOVE THE TOM DOUGLAS SERIES
I don't know how Rachel Abbott keeps on coming up with these original, twisty and clever plots but I'm very happy that she does!
This isn't my favourite of the series but it's still a solid 4 star listen and as always, Lisa Colemans narration is exceptional.
looking forward to book number 9 now!

Completely Bonkers But A Good Listen
The storyline is quite mad but it sets a good pace and Lisa Coleman reads it very well. It’s not the best plot ever and it wasn’t difficult to work out whodunnit, but it’s a good listen.
