About this listen

*THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER | NOW A RICHARD & JUDY BOOK CLUB PICK*

Twelve-year-old Sophie and her mother, Amelia-Rose, move to London from Massachusetts where they meet the charismatic Matty Melgren, who quickly becomes an intrinsic part of their lives. But as the relationship between the two adults fractures, a serial killer begins targeting young women with a striking resemblance to Amelia-Rose.

When Matty is eventually sent down for multiple murders, questions remain as to his guilt—questions that ultimately destroy both women. Nearly 20 years later, Sophie receives a letter from Battlemouth Prison informing her Matty is dying and wants to meet. It looks like Sophie might finally get the answers she craves. But will the truth set her free—or bury her deeper?

This was a great read told from the perspective of a woman who had grown up around a suspected serial killer - her mother’s boyfriend

He was always a father figure to her and she struggles to come to terms with the verdict. He claims innocence but is it so

A slow burn novel that was very well executed

Serial killer thriller

Each page will feel familiar if you've ever had a narcissist enter your life. Victoria Selman carefully explains how clever they are by slowly peeling back one layer at a time. This may not be an easy read if you are fresh out of an abusive relationship, but it sure will make you feel better that you found the strength to listen to your gut instinct.
A clever read which leaves you gasping for air.
Thoroughly recommend.

Loving a monster ruins your life.
