Summary

Someone is watching your every move…

Holly Lawrence always wanted to be a spy, but the experience proved more dangerous than anything she imagined.

Now, Holly lives in hiding under an assumed name. She avoids relationships and trusts no one. But Holly’s new life begins to unravel when she encounters a young mother and her two-year-old child… a child who reminds her of a past she has tried hard to forget.

This time, someone is spying on her, and Holly will need to decide how far she is willing to go to survive…

Perfect for fans of Shari Lapena, Lisa Jewell and Fiona Barton.

confusion

i honestly am not sure how to review this book. i found it very odd and the stories of the 3 or more women's , interweaving with each other so closely . i wasn't sure which character was which at times. This caused my confusion : who and how it held together as a story. The similarities were close. what the security services role was in this i never figured out. i maybe need to read it again . it wasn't a bad book just it needed full concentration to keep ùp.A good edit needed maybe? A challenge maybe not for bedtime listening. Nice clear narration, more difference in the voices would have helped.

good listen

Great story. But I did lose the plot sometimes - you do need to concentrate otherwise it gets a bit confusing with all 3 main females very intertwined. (Probably why the spread from 1 - 5stars).
Imogen Church can set a dramatic scene like no other narrator. But this was veeeery drawn out and I did have to listen on 1.2 speed. Notwithstanding the above, it's still a good listen.

Just needs some fact checking

Imogen Church's narration is great. The story very farfetched and riddled with inaccuracies though. Many of which could be fixed with a quick google.
