A woman without a memory struggles to discover the truth about her past and her identity in this cerebral and dark thriller reminiscent of works by best-selling authors S. J. Watson and Ruth Ware.

I have no memory of what happened, but I was told I killed my son. And you believe what your loved ones, your doctor, and the police tell you, don't you?

My name is Emma Cartwright. Three years ago I was Susan Webster, and I murdered my 12-week-old son, Dylan. I was sent to Oakdale Psychiatric Institute for my crime, and four weeks ago I was released early on parole with a new identity and address and a chance to rebuild my tattered life.

This morning I received an envelope addressed to Susan Webster. Inside it was a photograph of a toddler called Dylan. Now I am questioning everything I believe because if I have no memory of the event, how can I truly believe he's dead?

If there was the smallest chance your son was alive, what would you do to get him back?

While I loved the narration, I was not that enthralled with the story. It wasn’t believable because it was just too convoluted. But the writing is very good. IF I could believe the premise, then I’d say that the author left no loose ends. I just couldn’t believe the premise.

Great narration

The reading was remarkable, believable change in voices-
It was confusing when the chapters turned to the boys in College, once they blended together the plot really took a turn!

The story was good, but I almost did not finish because of the narrator. She had so much spit in her mouth and kept smacking when she started a sentence.

Good book

I could not put it down. The story was so captivating. I can normally figure out where a plot is going but this one kept me on my toes. Loved it!

Kept me guessing!

This story is told so well. Lots of likable characters. And this book's grande reveal, who all the bad guys are and what they did, is very surprising - as in kind of shocking. In the end everything you've been wondering about gets tied up nice and neat and the epilogue is very satisfying. Jenny Blackhurst is a fantastic storyteller!
Also the narration is very good.

Great story - fabulous ending

Do you know the tube that the dentist puts in your mouth to suck the excess saliva out? Well this narrator needs this all the time. I was disgusted listening to her slurpy sounds and huge intakes of air. It ruined this book for me. It didn’t happen with all of her characters, but definitely with the main character. I don’t understand why someone would hire her.

This narrator needs to find a new career
