Summary
Her best friend is dead.
Emma and Ariella, neighbours in one of Sydney’s most exclusive suburbs, appear to have it all—perfect homes, perfect husbands, perfect lives. But they both know dark secrets lurk beneath the surface and shallow waters can’t hide Ariella’s. Now she has been found murdered.
Her daughter filmed the killing.
Not knowing what she’s filmed, Emma’s daughter Kiki innocently uploads footage of Ariella’s brutal death. Emma fears the worst—the killer will know what she and Kiki have seen. Their safe suburban lives no longer exist.
Her husband knows more than he’s revealing.
Emma’s husband Charles forces the family to leave their perfect life and escape on their yacht. His dangerous plan to flee means Emma is trapped and desperately seeking answers. What are they hiding from? What did Ariella have to confess? And who else knows Emma’s own secret?
Her secret isn’t safe and neither is she.

brilliant
As a debut novel Holly Craig's writing had me hooked from the first chapter.
read it in one sitting as I had to find out what happened. Narration was clear and read brilliantly. looking forward to the next one.

I didn’t like the main character
I wanted to like this book but gave up half way through. The main character is just annoying, the other characters are very shallow (pun intended), the story isn’t progressing very well. It’s just meh. Wasted 5 hours on this.

Not bad for a first novel
Overall I think this was quite a good book, probably overlong if I'm being honest and the ending was rather far fetched. The main character was believable but quite irritating which may well have been the author's intention. I suspect that if I'd actually read this book I probably wouldn't have finished it but it was a good accompaniment to my walks to and from work. The narrator was okay certainly better than some I've endured but I don't think I'll be choosing any more books on the basis that they're narrating. One really annoying but inconsequential thing, why did the author decide to entitle what seemed like about twenty consecutive chapters 'Now' in the second half of the book?

Absolutely brilliant
I won’t give away any of the storyline - what I will say is that I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I listened to it while decorating and it made a job I don’t like a hundred times easier! The storyline is gripping, there is a dual time line in the earlier stages and where that sometimes doesn’t soul for me, in this case it was sooo good! I was instantly pulled in and wanted / needed to know what was happening. The narration was excellent, she has an almost haunting tone to her voice which perfectly enhanced the sense of threat and fear running throughout the story. I will definitely be listening to / reading more books by this author.
