Summary

An Amazon Charts bestseller.

She’s a total stranger. But she knows who you are...

Suzi did a bad thing. She’s paying for it now, pregnant, scared, and living in an isolated cottage with her jealous husband, Nick.

When Nora moves into the only house nearby, Suzi is delighted to have a friend. So much so that she’s almost tempted to tell Nora her terrible secret. But there’s more to Nora than meets the eye. It’s impossible - does she already know what Suzi did?

Meanwhile, Elle spends her days in her perfect home, fixated on keeping up appearances. But when her husband betrays her, it unravels a secret going all the way back to her childhood. She’ll do whatever it takes to hold on to him, even if that means murder. After all, she’s done it before...

Caught up in their own secrets and lies, these strangers will soon realise they have more in common than they could ever have imagined. When a shocking event brings them together, their lives will never be the same again.

Kept me on the edge of my seat

I loved this easy to follow story but it did keep me transfixed at times, I listen whilst I'm baking or doing the housework and like something that keeps me riveted but not to the point of having to sit and concentrate. This novel hit that spot... Easy to follow but interesting and intriguing too. Great story

A real ‘page turner’

I thoroughly enjoyed the story and the performance. I saw others comment that it wasn’t a believable plot, but that was fine for me as it’s a novel ! A great ‘read’.

Loved first 3/4 of this book.

Pretty predictable in parts. GP content - erm...really? Is that allowed?
First 3/4 was exciting!
Performance makes or breaks an audible book, this was pretty good.

Twisted take of married life

Great story, engrossing and interesting. Changes timelines but it definitely keeps you guessing. Loved it

Good enough to keep me guessing for...

...pretty much all of it. Read with Karen C's customary professionalism - isn't it funny how we all hear things differently! - and I'll be looking for more by this author...

Bit of a "Marmite" book I think

I guessed the first twist, the last few not so much......but not a terrible story.
Narrator was great to begin with but then got this annoying habit (more so when reading Suzi chapters) to the point I almost couldn't finish it!! The accents were awful too!
It's quite far fetched in places but I guess that's entertaining!! Not sure I'd recommend, depends on how fussy you are about your books. Good for anyone, who like me, enjoys most stories.
