About this listen

ITW Thriller Award winner

International Book Awards winner

Nina can never forgive Maggie for what she did. And she can never let her leave.

They say every house has its secrets, and the house that Maggie and Nina have shared for so long is no different. Except that these secrets are not buried in the past.

Every other night, Maggie and Nina have dinner together. When they are finished, Nina helps Maggie back to her room in the attic, and into the heavy chain that keeps her there. Because Maggie has done things to Nina that can’t ever be forgiven, and now she is paying the price.

But there are many things about the past that Nina doesn’t know, and Maggie is going to keep it that way—even if it kills her.

Because in this house, the truth is more dangerous than lies.

Critic reviews

"[Marrs'] most sinister novel to date."—Daily Express

"An excellent psychological thriller. A one-sitting read about a daughter who keeps her mother locked in the attic. Twisty, moving, and chilling."—Sarah Pinborough, bestselling author of Behind Her Eyes

"A tense, thrilling read—I found it impossible to put down. It’s dark and twisted, and I loved it."—Alex Michaelides, bestselling author of The Silent Patient

An enthralling book that only John Marrs can write. The story weaves a web that just throws you continuously. This is so satisfying and keeps you shaking your head when thrown another curve ball. Brilliant book from a supremely talented author. The narration fits the story perfectly.

I love it when you are listening to a book you can’t stop thinking about.... this was one of those books for me. It took dark to a new level and my sympathies for each character changed all the way through the story.... what a roller coaster .... this is crying out for a television adaptation, loved it and all its dark and sinister twists.
