The evening ahead of her felt like the start of a long tightrope walk above a raging waterfall, where one misstep could be fatal...
Everyone in town knows Copper Lodge, that designer home with floor-to-ceiling windows that looms over the small red-brick houses on Connelly Close. And the couple who live there, Elizabeth and Lucas Huxley, with their two blonde-haired, cherubic children, are seemingly perfect, plucked right out of a magazine.
But meet Heather, the gardener’s daughter, arriving from the coast in her beat-up little car to spend the summer helping to prepare for the most important night of the Huxleys’ lives: a summer party designed to put Elizabeth’s past trauma behind them and save their family from financial ruin. Heather grew up in the grounds of this magnificent house, she knows its secrets...
As the night of the party draws near, the lawn is mown in neat lines, the champagne flutes are sparkling, and you could cut the tension with an over-polished knife. It’s Elizabeth’s one chance to prove to her husband that she’s on the mend, that she can handle something as simple as a drinks reception without snapping under the pressure. If she makes one mistake, he’ll try to take her children away.
Heather wants to stay as far away from the party - and the Huxleys - as possible, but something dark keeps dragging her back: the secret she’s been keeping since she was a teenager is about to explode like the fireworks over Copper Lodge...
A great listen about the darker side of love and what really goes on under the surface of perfect-looking lives. Clever and unexpected, this book will have you gripped from the very first word until the dramatic final twist. Fans of The Wife Between Us and The Mother-in-Law will be hooked.

At first, I was totally mesmerized.
This, just like CB’s other books has an original premise and very unique characters.
She is expert at setting the scene, and establishing a sense of place, an atmosphere.
But the narrator really began to get on my nerves, I couldn’t figure out is it was her annunciation, or that she reads very, very slowly at times.
I could never put my finger on why I just had to stop listening about halfway through.
I became frustrated with the back and forth and things got rather monotonous.
As another reviewer has pointed out, I really do think that having a second perspective, a second narrator couldn’t taken this book to the next level.
And perhaps this would be a good book to read in the original hardcover.
But as an audio title this one just didn’t work for me.
I really wish there had been two perspectives with two different readers.
It would’ve changed everything.
I hate leaving bad reviews, particularly when it’s an author I truly adore.
But this was a let down.
