About this listen

No one even knew they were together. Now one of them is dead.

Fifty-six days ago

Ciara and Oliver meet in a supermarket queue in Dublin and start dating the same week COVID-19 reaches Irish shores.

Thirty-five days ago

When lockdown threatens to keep them apart, Oliver suggests they move in together. Ciara sees a unique opportunity for a relationship to flourish without the scrutiny of family and friends. Oliver sees a chance to hide who - and what - he really is.

Today

Detectives arrive at Oliver’s apartment to discover a decomposing body inside.

Can they determine what really happened, or has lockdown created an opportunity for someone to commit the perfect crime?

Disjointed

The story started out interesting, even with the word-for-word repetition of segments with added observations from the 2 main characters’ points of view. Adding the journalist, Laura/Lauren?, did not end up augmenting the story. Of the 2 twists at the end, only 1 was supported by what came before. The investigators were interesting but in the end, superfluous.

Riveting!

I couldn’t wait to hear what would come next. This is my second book by this author and I’ve found both engrossing stories with unexpected endings.

Engaging and Kept Me Guessing

Believable characters and slow reveals added to a revolving timeline all support a riveting tale.

Great book. A voice change would be nice.

The story was great, however, the audio would benefit from two (or more) narrators ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A great team narrator and author

After listening to the joy ELLIS series with detective Ballard I now understand the importance of a Good Reader. I had to stop listening to that series because the narrator was not tolerable. I picked up this book instead and was reminded that when listening to audible books you can have a phenomenal story but if the reader is not up to par A book can become intolerable.

I enjoyed this story and wouldn’t mind a sequel!

Enjoyable and Entertaining

I enjoyed this book, I believe Catherine Ryan Howard & Alana Kerr Collins, makes a wonderful team. I have listened to almost all of available audio books from Catherine Ryan Howard and love her writing style and hope there will be more of her books become available. The narration is one of the best I've heard. Thank you for an enjoyable listen!

Good Book

I enjoyed this book as a good story but also as a way to work through feelings and perspectives on the pandemic. It seems many writers have ignored it and the impact it has had in our lives. The narrator is excellent which is so important in an audio book.

Nice quick read

I really enjoyed the easy flow of the book. Nothing felt forced. The characters were mostly believable and the narrator was great.
