About this listen

 'Grips from the first page to the last. A UK thriller writer that gives giants like Linwood Barclay and Harlan Coben a run for their money' MARK BILLINGHAM

The day she died was only the beginning . . .

A DEVOTED MOTHER
Sam Cooper has a happy life: a good job, a blossoming relationship. Yet, there's something he can never forget - the image seared into his mind of his mother, Laurie, dying when he was a child. His father allowed his grief to tear them apart and Sam hasn't seen him in years.

A LOVING WIFE
Until an unexpected call from Firwood hospital, asking Sam to come home, puts in motion a chain of devastating events. On his deathbed, Sam's father makes a shocking confession.

A LIAR?
Who was Laurie Cooper? It's clear that everything Sam thought he knew about his mother was wrong. And now he's determined to find out exactly what she did and why - whatever the cost.

What happens if you discover you've been lied to by your own family for twenty-five years?

Sam Cooper is about to find out.

Critic reviews

Grips from the first page to the last. A UK thriller writer that gives giants like Linwood Barclay and Harlan Coben a run for their money (Mark Billingham)
Local Woman Missing meets The Fugitive, You Never Said Goodbye breathes new life into the psychological thriller genre with a captivating and gripping storyline that is part missing person mystery, part all out action thriller. A heart-in-mouth story that will pull at your heart strings and keep you on the edge of your seat, You Never Said Goodbye is everything I look for in an action thriller. I couldn't put it down
A truly pulse-pounding thriller. The relentless tension is leavened only by its heart-rending emotion
A barnstorming, rocket-paced thriller about an ordinary man thrown into an extraordinary situation. Fans of John Connolly and Linwood Barclay will love it
An absolutely gripping and immersive thrill ride from start to finish. A white-knuckle rollercoaster that's also full of heart and soul
Action packed suspense
This is an electrifying edge-of-the-seat thriller, a must-read for fans of Harlan Coben
This is a rip-roaring and, at times, a touching thriller from a writer who has been favourably compared to Harlan Coben and Linwood Barclay...and rightly so. Heart pumping action...thoroughly recommended and a must for everyone who enjoys high octane thrills
There are many gasp-inducing revelations before skilful writer Veste produces a gripping and surprise climax.
All stars
Most relevant
Unbelievable story, far-fetched and the main character avoided death on far too many occasions to be convincing. The audio was distracting, especially when he did American accents. It sounded exactly what it was, an English actor trying to sound American (unsuccessfully)

Disappointing story and audio

I enjoyed this book, mainly because of the narration - at last someone who correctly enunciates ‘asphalt’. ⭐️

A good listen.
