Everyone is hiding a secret. One of them is murder.

The book club was her idea, of course.

It was her way into our group. A chance to get close.

I knew from the day she arrived that she couldn't be trusted.

And I was right.

Alice didn't come to the village for peace and quiet.

She came for revenge.

A deliciously addictive psychological thriller about a book club that unravels dark and scandalous secrets between one circle of neighbours. The perfect for fans of Big Little Lies and The Rumour.

Critic reviews

"I raced through it - edgy, tense." (Harriet Tyce, author of Blood Orange)

"I for one am terrified of the woman next door!" (Louise Candlish, author of The Other Passenger)

"Tightly plotted, edge-of-seat gripping." (Sophie Hannah, author of Haven't They Grown)

The story seemed very predictable at first. It seemed to have flowed towards what you think would happen next but had the right amount of twist to throw you off slightly. It was well narrated. I definitely wanted to see what was uncovered in the next chapter; everything came full circle at the end. It was a thriller, for sure!

So many plot twists for me!

Whoa! Emily is a real piece of work, and those who cross her, even unintentionally, are none the wiser. Lucy will learn that soon enough as each cleverly manipulated book club meeting unfolds clue after clue. That's if she even catches on and pieces everything together in time. What a great book!

This is NOT your average book club!

I liked everything about this book. Great story, great character development, really good narration. I listen in the car and had a hard time stopping when I got to my destination!

This story takes many twists and turns. At times it was hard to keep track of who was doing what to whom. The narrator was very good, since this is set in the UK.

And the Plot Thickens

Couldn’t stop listening. Love the story. This is the type of mystery I love to listen to.

Love the narrator

Great characters and story. Narration was good too. However ending could’ve been way better. Feels like the author just phoned it in at the end. But it leaves the book open for a series I guess.

Good listen…ending not so great.

No spoilers. Slightly unsatisfying ending, but I might feel differently about it later. This is a super fun read, there are even times where I felt a little spooked and that’s hard to do after reading a million books and watching a million thrillers. I really enjoyed it and ended up finishing it very fast. Don’t listen to the haters who think that everyone in a thriller should know they’re in a thriller and act accordingly. 🙄

Actually it’s totally plausible
