Summary

The truth depends on who you ask...

Ten years ago, after a sun-soaked summer spent in Greece, Bess and Joni were cleared of having any involvement in their best friend Evangeline's death. But that didn't stop the media from calling them everything under the sun.

Now Joni is tangled up in a crime in LA eerily similar to that one fateful night, and when she turns up at her old friend's doorstep asking for an alibi, Bess has no choice. She still owes her.

They say the truth will set you free but can Bess face up to what happened that night?
She should know by now. You can't be an innocent woman when everyone wants you to be guilty.

A bit haunting

A good story, kept me listening and guessing about the characters and what they were hiding. The narration was good too. I would recommend a listen.

Promising but didn’t deliver

I really enjoyed the book but was very disappointed by the rushed ending. Not sure I could recommend it to others

Brilliant Narrator

Some plot holes and a predictable ending which made the conclusion very unsatisfying. Narrator saved the day and enticed me to continue listening.

A story that could be your own…

A story about the kind of friendship we’re lucky to have and never forget. One that both tears you apart and might just be the one of the greatest loves of your life.

a good read but not brilliant

This book was a bit predictable but I still couldn't put it down. I didn't like the ending.
