Summary

A brilliant psychological thriller from bestseller Valerie Keogh.

Since that fateful night I have always kept myself to myself. Reserved. Private. Alone.

Some people think I am too quiet. That life is passing me by. But I know there is safety in my own company. That no one can hurt me if I don’t let them get too close.

Until the day I meet him. A handsome, charming stranger. A chance for me to take a risk…finally?

Or a man who threatens everything I’ve worked so hard for?

You’ll be sorry...

And that’s when my whole life begins to fall apart….

Perfect for fans of Sue Watson, Shalini Boland and K.L. Slater.

Predictable

A bit predictable. I guessed the general gist of the story well before the end. No real substance to it. Not one of her best, just OK.

Gripping!

Loved it...I couldn't stop listening. Twists and turns to the end. ...Beautifully read by Rose Robinson.

Compelling mystery

A compelling story, full of twists until the very end. I very much enjoy Valerie's writing style, and her plots and characters. Highly recommended. Excellent narrator.

Awful

Chapter 17, I’m giving up on this audiobook, which I very rarely do. The pace is slow. The plot is awful. It’s one of the worst books I’ve read/listened to this year.

The narration is good, but unfortunately doesn’t redeem a truly dreadful book.

Waste of time

Long, boring, too overly detailed to elongate the length of novel and pleased when it had finished

Reasonable story but too drawn out for me

A reasonable story in itself with good narration however there was too much emphasis on little side subjects and descriptions (not all accurate) of everyday items.

So slow and dissipointing

I really liked Valerie's first few books but feel they are just being churned out now.
It was so slow moving,I had to push myself to keep listening. And repedative dialogue.
Eventually skipped to the end as I didn't have the patience to keep listening.
