Summary
It seems like they have it all. But we all have something to hide....
Moving to this village was supposed to be a fresh start for me and my 13-year-old son, Harry. After the tragic death of my husband, it was a chance to leave everything bad behind and make better memories at Primrose Cottage, the postcard-perfect house with honeysuckle around the door.
However, things haven’t exactly been easy since we arrived, and after what we’ve been though, I’m scared of letting anyone new into our lives.
But when one of the local dads asks Harry to join the weekend sports club, I find myself saying yes. The smile on my son’s face gives me hope that I might have made the right decision in uprooting our lives.
All the other parents seem so kind in welcoming me into the fold. At least, they are to begin with.... Until someone begins anonymously exposing secrets about everyone in the group.
As betrayals surface and the claws come out, I see how imperfect these people really are; and how far they’ll go to hide the truth. Then when one of the parents ends up dead at the end of a party, I realise that it’s not just lies and scandal they’re covering up.
Too late, I realise that I should have stayed away....
Fans of Big Little Lies, Lisa Jewell and Louise Candlish will be absolutely hooked by this pacey listen with a jaw-dropping twist you just won’t see coming.

wasn't a fan
Narration was very good, however, the storyline was a bit discombobulated. Parts didn't flow. The storyline without the espionage part was good. Not for me - sorry!

Not amazing but an OK listen
I originally started this and gave up, but had nothing else to listen to so started it again.
I had to keep going back with this story as I kept getting confused with the jumping between characters until I got used to them all. I also found it was like listening to 3 separate stories at once, as some parts of the story didn't seem to merge in with the rest, there was a story about a witching village and some woods, a story about a football team and the parent's scandals and a story about a widow who's husband had died, and I found they didn't really come together, unless I missed something along the way.
Listened to the end though which is something for me.

There may be a story here
Behind the appalling narration by the performers.
Kept going for a couple of hours before they rung me out .
Sorry but anything that is here is ruined by the narration.

An easy read
Sold to me as a suspenseful crime thriller but it’s just not. It’s an easy read to relax, but not a page turner, or whatever the Audible equivalent to that is.
