RICHARD AND JUDY'S SPRING BOOK CLUB PICK AND THE MOST ADDICTIVE THRILLER YOU'LL LISTEN TO THIS YEAR.

Two sisters. An intense bond. A bitter rivalry.

Margo is a solitary live-in nanny for an upper-class Kensingon family. Cora is a promiscuous dancer on the cusp of a big break, living hand-to-mouth in a run-down London flat.

Different though they are, an unspeakable incident from childhood haunts them both. When the terrible secret comes to light, their fragile existences shatter, pitting them against each other in a race for survival.

But can there be a winner when a secret is so dark?

I've not read a book like this before and I really enjoyed it.
The performance was excellent as each character had their own voice throughout so I knew exactly who was speaking.
I didn't expect the story to end so abruptly hence 4 stars.
Saying that I would still recommend.

Once started, I had to keep going. Incredibly enjoyable and well placed. I considered the outcome but second guessed myself the whole time because of how cleverly it was written. Quite a tragic ending but a very good book.

A thoroughly good thriller

Confusing in places, but hope to re-listen. Interesting characters. My first book by this author. Good narration.

Compelling story

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
An original storyline, I listened to this throughout all of a peaceful Sunday at home and on my commutes on Monday. I enjoyed the characters a lot. I still had questions at the end and things that seemed not to make sense in the mystery, but I think that's probably my fault for missing things here and there. A good thriller.

Intriguing and likeable
