'Compelling, dark and intense, this story of a friendship gone wrong will keep you guessing until the end'
–B.A. PARIS, No.1 bestselling author of BEHIND CLOSED DOORS

THERE ARE SOME FRIENDS YOU’LL NEVER FORGET…

AFTER
Sixteen years later, Edie is still rebuilding her life. But Heather isn’t ready to let her forget so easily. It’s no coincidence that she shows up when Edie needs her most.

NOW
Edie or Heather?
Heather or Edie?

Someone has to pay for what happened, but who will it be?

Any additional comments?

Very good book but extremely dark story, I don't think I would want to listening to it again, it made me feel uneasy and depressed when it finished. Great narration.

Very good but extremely dark

One of the saddest books I've ever read! Totally heart wrenching. Brilliantly narrated by Chloe Massey & Kathryn Griffiths.

I loved the detail and strength of the characters. well written story. Narration a bit wooden at times, but overall good. I would have liked one more chapter of update at the end. But that's a good sign that I didn't want it to end yet.

Unusual to the usual thrillers I listen to

Would you listen to Watching Edie again? Why?

I think I might make an exception and listen to this again in a few months, just to pick up on stuff I might have missed first time round.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Oddly enough it was Heather, although the more standard choice might have been Edie, I think there's a part of Heather in all of us.

Have you listened to any of Chloe Massey and Kathryn Griffiths ’s other performances? How does this one compare?

I haven't listened to either and although both excellent if I had to choose the better of the two, Chloe just pips Kathryn at the post.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Forgiven but not forgotten.

Any additional comments?

Kept me listening at every spare moment, and only deducted one star for the, in my opinion, the rather rushed ending.

Enjoyed from beginning to end

One of the best books I've listened to in the past 12 months. Had me gripped from outset & throughout. Did not foresee the ending either.
Narrators were both great too.
Can't fault it!

Excellent!
