Summary

There’s only one thing worse than doing the unthinkable: what you’re willing to do to hide it.

Helen lives a decent, uncomplicated life. Satisfied in her career, she’s raising three happy teenagers, and her family has the most envied house on the street. Admittedly, she’s growing just a little disenchanted with her marriage to her workaholic husband, Werner. But that’s nothing she can’t fix. Then one day Helen comes home to something completely unexpected that threatens to shatter her carefully cultivated world.

For disaffected, young petty criminals Ralf and Brian, it was a scheme to make some cash: a quick home invasion. The targets they’ve chosen are Helen and Werner. Just as planned, Brian disappears into Helen and Werner’s house. And he never comes out again.

But Helen’s nightmare is just beginning. She can’t possibly imagine how much worse it can get or just how far she’ll need to go to protect her family.

Occasionally confusing.

I spend a lot of time driving, and listening to thrillers on audio books are perfect for long journeys. But at times this was quite confusing.

The story is set in Holland, includes a couple of people from German descent, and yet is read throughout by someone with a strong American accent. And this always felt wrong.

The plot is excellent, and the story is well put together. I felt the ending was a bit rushed, but overall an enjoyable listen.
