Summary

The brilliant psychological thriller from bestseller Valerie Keogh.

Grieving or guilty?

When Allison’s wealthy and charming husband Peter is found dead, she appears distraught, devastated...delighted?

Because despite an apparently picture-perfect marriage, Allison knows it was all built on a bed of lies.

And as the truth regarding Peter’s life and death are revealed, Allison must try to keep her own dark past buried.

Because if Peter was keeping secrets, then his widow is too....

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

"A wonderful book, I can’t rate this one highly enough. If only there were ten stars, it’s that good. Valerie Keogh is a master story-teller, and this is a masterful performance." (Anita Waller, bestselling author)

The best story I've listened to

This was going to be an amazing story from the first few words.
The narrator was excellent, the story was gripping. I've read of people not wanting to put a book down, this is so true with this one.
I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish and would recommend everyone to read/listen to it

Just when you thought it was all over…

…. The surprises keep on coming.
A lot of reader comments say this book is implausible, but from my experience of the world, nothing is impossible or improbable. Really enthralling and intriguing read that captured me from the start.
Will definitely be reading more from this author:

JUST WOW! So Powerfulñ

I have been a member of Audible for more than 12 years and have listened to hundreds of books. This just has to be the most powerful, and at times emotional, book I have listened to,
The story is easy to follow, is unbelievably gripping and most wonderfully narrated. I will be downloading, probably. all the books of the same author and narrator.
