About this listen

This is not the happy family you think.

The fire crackles, my son smiles, the man jokes whilst I pour drinks.

But my husband has disappeared. The man is a stranger. My skin crawls every time he brushes my hand.

He says if I don’t play along, he has photos that will destroy my family.

What happened the night before my husband disappeared - the night I don’t remember?

There’s nothing I can do to save my family...is there?

An absolutely gripping psychological thriller with an ending you will never see coming! Perfect for anyone who adored The Girl on the Train, The Wife Between Us, or The Woman in the Window.

Exciting and amazing with so many twists and turns right to the end. I will certainly read more books from this author.

Really good read or audio listen.

this book was about a seemingly normal family hit by tragedy but was in fact a convoluted series of events with little twists constantly changing its path until the unprepared for twist at the end. loved it. the performance was good too.

brilliant twist

I found it very strange and it annoyed me all the way through the book, which then spoilt the story, that Jen, who had met a man once when she was very drunk/drugged and was raped by him, then let's him turn up at her house and demand to move in and live like a couple, and the only reason she felt she had to let him in was because she didn't want people to know what had happened between them! Very infuriating! I spent my whole time thinking "what the heck, as if'

Unbelievable!
