Publisher's summary

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.

So many plot twists for me!

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!

This is NOT your average book club!

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!

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

Good listen…ending not so great.

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.

Gripping from start to finish

This is the best book I’ve read in a long time. It literally pulls you in from the very beginning, almost impossible to stop. The narrators accent can be difficult at times but the story is so good that it’s worth the effort. A heart churning, racing experience.
