About this listen
It was meant to be Caitlin's perfect summer, but betrayed by her best friend and her boyfriend, she finds herself hitchhiking home alone, heartbroken, and penniless.
When a smiling family pulls up on the roadside to help her on her way, she's relieved - they seem so friendly, safe. And when they offer her a warm bed in their isolated house for the night, she's grateful not to have to travel back alone in the dark. In any case, she's in no rush to get home, where a grave secret is lying in wait to blow her family apart.
One night soon turns into two, and then three. The increasingly spellbinding couple wants her to stay, and why shouldn't she? Their children need a tutor, and the longer she can avoid home, the better. But then an older member of the household warns her to leave immediately. And when her phone suddenly goes missing, when she realises that this perfect family is a perfect lie, it might not be so easy for her to leave...
A brilliantly suspenseful read, perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Mark Edwards and Claire Douglas.

Thoroughly Captivating
A well written and unusual storyline. Excellent plot that portrays how humanity can vary from one extreme to another.
The narration brought the various characters to life - especially the youngest little girl’s dialogue - made me laugh out loud.

Not the best but not the worst!
Good storyline and worth a listen, however there was no need for it to be nearly 14 hours long, as in stages it just seemed to drag out for no reason, and with no importance to the storyline, which at times made me loose concentration and loose the storyline.
The main character Caitlin was frustrating at times, as it was quite obvious what was happening, yet she was oblivious to it all, and seemed very stupid to believe everything she was told, even once she knew what was going on and when she had seen certain things, I didn't feel any sense of urgency from her to get away or get help, when there was chances to, she just seemed to plod along!
The little songs/poems throughout the book were annoying, i had to skip past them.

Brilliant!
Having listened to What was Rescued but Jane Bailey and finding it lacking in content and character traits not adding up - I couldn't fault the performance of Imogen Church or this story in any way (although I did turn the speed of the narration up to 1.2 after the first couple of sentences as it was waaaay too slow for me at its original speed - the extra speed gave the story a nice sense of urgency).
I loved the characters and the way Caitlyn is narrating her own story throughout. The descriptions of her surroundings are perfection. Each character had a distinct personality, and not once did a description or trait feel wrong. I'd LOVE to see this as a series on TV or as a film.

I managed 18 chapters
It's not very often I leave a book so quickly in but I really couldn't continue.
The story was slow and far fetched, it was not for me. The narrator was awful, sorry but that voice with the whine at the end of each word caused my anxiety to go through the roof, sorry but I wasted money on this book.

Disappointing
How I got through this audiobook is beyond me. Most annoying storyline and characters. Waste of a credit.
