About this listen

From Sarah Richards, the best-selling author of The Worst of You, China White and Born Winners, comes a riveting psychological thriller performed by award-winning actress Sarah Gadon.

Rhonda’s dream of becoming a best-selling author has turned into a nightmare of shattered hopes and writer’s block. But when a free-spirited young teacher candidate named Emi offers her a chance to ghostwrite her shocking memoir, Rhonda sees an opportunity for redemption.

Little does she know, this project will plunge her into a dark web of secrets, lies, and deadly consequences. When Emi’s body is discovered and Rhonda’s husband is accused of having an affair with the victim, Rhonda finds herself unearthing a trail of dark secrets that someone is willing to kill to keep buried. As the shadowy figures responsible for Emi’s murder set their sights on Rhonda, she must race against time to prove her innocence and prevent her own story from ending in a tragedy.

The plot was kept me interested, but wanted to see more character development. It was hard to feel invested when you dislike the main character and barely know the others.

The protagonist was unlikable until the last few pages. She was incredibly self absorbed.
