About this listen
She told him to make himself at home. He did.
Life has been good to Ellie - she owns a successful art gallery, is deeply in love with her husband, Seth, and has two beautiful children, Brandon and Simone.
But not everything is perfect....
Lately, Seth seems to have something on his mind and has become cold and distant. And things don't improve when he invites mysterious stranger Ace to stay in their home.
Ace is charming, but Ellie can't help feeling there's more to him than meets the eye, that he has some kind of agenda. She's also aware that she is dangerously attracted to him.
Then a girl at Brandon's school is murdered, and Ellie is beyond devastated when the police tell her they think her son might be involved.
Ellie knows in her heart that Brandon is innocent and she feels certain that Ace is somehow connected to the disturbing things that are happening. She starts to dig for the truth and uncovers the terrible secret that will change her life in ways she can't imagine....

Annoying
The female lead character was utterly annoying and the story dragged on and on.
Got to chapter 34 and gave up

No spoilers!
I'm afraid if I say anything about this, I'll give the game away, and I hadn't seen it coming so no way do I want to leave the slightest clue! What I can say is that Grant has again assembled a cast of largely materialistic, affluent, and somewhat shallow characters with whom it should be impossible to empathise, especially if you are viewing them as a Brit with no experience of anyone like them. But again, the internal obsessions, the detailed sub vocal narrative, the expression of woes and hurts, joys and loves, make them easily real enough to find some human commonality.
This is a story about relationships; adults, children, protective instincts, and reactive impulses that set each of them off on their own paths towards a solution. These paths overlap, twist, tie knots in each other, overlay, and frequently obliterate alternatives.
The narration is perfect; exactly the right measure of suppressed hysteria and contained fear, and switches up and down for the differing emotional modes of the characters.
I'm very pleased not to be living anywhere near any of these people, but I think I know how they got to where they eventually ended up!

Great narrator!
Easy to get into, the story flowed well and didn't feel too dragged out like some books. Some parts of the story seemed a little far fetched but overall a good listen.
