About this listen

A completely addictive psychological thriller

‘If you’re listening to this, I’ve been murdered.’

Eve is clearing her father’s house when she finds an old cassette player and a box of tapes. Though grieving, she smiles at the spark of nostalgia.

One tape is labelled ‘Eve’–in her mother, Angela’s, scrawled handwriting. She disappeared for good more than ten years ago.

The tape whirrs. A voice crackles. ‘My name is Angela’. Tears fill Eve’s eyes at the familiar voice–at the thought her mother recorded this message just for her. But the next words make her heart pound.

‘If they say I’m missing, I’m not. If you’re listening to this, I’ve been murdered.’

Desperate for answers, Eve has no one left to ask–only a box of tapes that could lead to the truth. But the more she listens, the more she realises she can never go to the police…

Because Eve’s mother had her own secrets. But what if her killer is still out there? And what if Eve is next?

An absolutely gripping psychological thriller! Anyone who loves Shari Lapena, John Marrs or Lisa Jewell will be totally addicted.

I loved this fast paced thriller about a woman who finds a box of tapes recorded by her mother before she disappeared. One of the tapes suggests she thought she was going to be murdered. What a great premise! There is so much tension and a feeling of imminent danger as Eve tries to discover what happened all those years ago. It is an easy read with plenty of twists. It is full of family secrets and lies and the ending was unexpected.

I enjoyed the narration by Melanie Crawley and Shaheen Khan.
