Summary
A gripping psychological thriller with a stunning twist
‘She hasn’t told you, has she?’ He squeezed his eyes shut. She watched the muscles of his jaw tense. ‘I’m not your father.’
He was there for her first steps. He helped with her homework, and took her for ice cream at weekends. And then, two days before her ninth birthday, Martha’s father walked out. She never knew what went wrong, but she and her mother, Fran, never saw or heard from him again.
Fifteen years later, Martha and Fran live in a remote, pretty cottage in Cornwall. Fran paints illustrations for children’s books, while Martha trains as an animal nurse at the local vet’s surgery.
But then Martha sees a strange message on her mother’s phone - from her father. Desperate for answers, she tracks him down.
Except when they come face-to-face, she isn’t ready for the brutal truth.
He isn’t her father.
Her mother has been telling lies.
And not just about who her real father is....
A gripping psychological thriller for fans of Paula Hawkins, Shalini Boland, and C. L. Taylor.

Who can you trust?
I really enjoyed this book, normally choosing grittier stories, but this kept me reading on. Wouldn't want to belong to Martha's circle though!

Too tedious in parts
This book is a bit tedious at times but have to finish it to find out the ending. Could be a good storyline if it hadn’t been dragged out so much. If a book grips me I listen all day and night when I have spare time but not this one. Just my opinion but others might like this book as the storyline is good.

A hard listen
I had hopes for this but it really was hard work - I even had a hiatus but had to go back to know how it finished. It was very slow until the last quarter I'd say when everything happened. I noticed a lot of repetition of words, too.
"A gripping psychological thriller" is a dramatic description. Glad I finished but also very glad it's over.

Really tedious book......
This simply does not live up to its hype. I struggled to halfway through before I had to give up. There is virtually no plot, and the plot such as it is, is reiterated over and over. Consists of mostly trivial, tedious conversations to try and pad out a weak storyline. Sorry, but I can't recommend this.
