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.

Great book. A voice change would be nice.

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

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.

Interesting

Definitely took a turn I wasn’t expecting at the end. Quite a sad book really, but it’s always interesting to hear books about the quarantine and what happened (or could have).

Amazing

I could really connect with some of the scenarios during lock down. The characters really came alive. I almost felt like I was there watching above. Please keep writing you are amazing!

Pay attention and you’ll hear a really great story!

There were several points where I had to back up and re-listen for a few minutes because there is quite a bit of jumping from past to present. You really have to focus throughout this one, but it is sooooo worth it. Great listen!

Excellent story

This was an excellent story, but the jumping back and forth by 56 days, 39 days, today, 76 days, etc. was a little confusing.
