About this listen
Some secrets are best kept hidden....
The lawyer’s call is shocking: Charly’s best friend from childhood has taken her own life and left a decree that Charly care for her two-year-old daughter.
Returning to her childhood home on the coast of England, another nasty surprise awaits: Two more of Charly’s friends have mysteriously died. As suspicious incidents in Charly’s little house on the coast pile up, she investigates. She soon discovers that all the deaths were, in fact, brutal murders.
But Charly doesn’t realize the hunt for her has already begun as she’s plunged into a grueling psychological game....

Somewhat repetitious and filled with self analysing angst, this is still an easy understanding read which somehow managed to hold the reader's attention right through to the end, despite being obvious from early pages. There is a small anomaly between the intro text and later statements (not here stated to avoid possible spoilers) and a wrong name is used later in one conversation, possibly a failure in translation, an drifting flaw. This is not a long book, only six hours, but would have been more impacting if reduced by, perhaps, half. And yet, this reader still enjoyed it!
The narration was adequate, if a little stilted. Ariel Royce's voice has a pleasant timbre but little flow, her words crisply individual with an odd emphasis placed on some consonants, and an accent which delivers unexpected words, such as awfore (after), hawrier (horror), worch (watch), dawl (doll), settai (settee), and cher (sure), to illustrate but a few. This became distracting, occasionally puzzling but certainly added to the sense of unreality.
There is. a question one protagonist puts to another in this book: "Tell me, how stupid are you?" It just about sums up the whole story.. And though I would not recommended it, I still did enjoy this read.
"Going in circles both mentally and emotionally."

The plot, after the initial chapter or two of slower introductions, is really fast; the events pile up and we feel the growing frustration of Charly's at nobody believing her suspicions and suppositions. Charly, as a character, is very well-written, with the memory losses, an ex-boyfriend stalker adding to her anxieties... The other two main characters, Jake and Alice, are equally well-portrayed, and although some may think them a little less-developed we have to remember we see them through Charly's eyes, we only see them the way she does, so it's totally plausible for me.
Narration by Ms Royce is great; the pace is good, no need really to speed her up or slow her down:) Also, the voices she uses for individual characters are very well done and match the characters' personalities. In general, it's a fantastic interpretation of the book:)
