About this listen

The gripping new psychological thriller from the author of Do Me No Harm. For fans of C. L. Taylor and Clare Mackintosh.

Two women, two secrets, one murder...

If someone took away your perfect life, how far would you go to get it back?

Ellen's family is her world. So when her husband leaves her for another woman, she is almost destroyed. But not quite, because Ellen has a plan, a way to make those who have hurt her suffer.

Leila is the other woman. She finally has everything she ever wanted. But Leila's brother has come back into her life, raking up a past that needs to stay buried. One of them will pay for their actions with their life, but which one?

Well and thoughtfully written and outstandingly performed. Author somehow has the listener despise Layla and pity her in equal measure. I thoroughly enjoyed this

Captivating

I wasn't at all sure about this book in the early chapters, but once the characters were fleshed out, it got going and how! The two main protagonists, both women, are very well drawn. One is particularly complex, one has hidden depths. The story is original, keeping the listener/reader on their toes. There are several unexpected events and the ending is satisfying. A warning though, there is some pretty gruesome animal abuse here. Once I had a flavour of it, I fast forwarded those moments.

I have not heard this narrator previously. Her performance here is excellent and I will look out for her in the future.

Original and compelling!

I did enjoy this book, mostly. The story was good and there was enough twists to keep me listening. I loved the stories of Ellen and Leila but didn’t like the explicit sex scenes and animal torture, which I felt were tasteless and unnecessary. The narration was fabulous! As I Scot, I love books set in my home country and read by a Scottish narrator. This book’s narration was faultless. The ending of the book was however disappointing and left me feeling unsatisfied. I feel it would have been better if the book had ended 10 minutes before it did. However, all in all it was a good listen and I would like to read more my this author,

Enjoyable enough

This book is wonderfully written and you really feel understanding for the two main characters.
I was left a little disappointed by its ending though as it wasn't what I would have liked to happen.
I would read/ listen to more books from this author.
The narrator was excellent.

Original storyline but very bleak

A very good thriller, quite a dramatic opening. We follow the story from the perspectives of two separate women; Leila, Tom's new woman who has recently moved into Tom's family home. On the face of it she is professional, secure in herself, and knows what she wants, and Ellen, Tom's displaced wife who is not so assertive, has some mental issues, and is trying to look out for her children, grand daughter and father.

As the book progresses, we find there is more to both of the women than we first thought. Both are revealed as a little devious, but which of them will turn out to be the good guy?

Other reviewers have pointed out the references to sex and animal cruelty. This is a thriller and we expect to read about human beings being attacked and murdered, so why do readers make a fuss about an animal or two!

It's an engaging read. There's not too much jumping between time periods so the plot isn't too hard to follow. Also the sort of ending that carefully wraps up all the issues.

I'd recommend this book and will be looking out for more by Julie Corbin.
