An edge-of-your-seat novel from the phenomenal Sophie Hannah.

When her plane is delayed overnight, Gaby Struthers finds herself forced to share a hotel room with a stranger: a terrified young woman named Lauren Cookson - but why is she scared of Gaby in particular?

Lauren won't explain. Instead, she blurts out something about an innocent man going to prison for a murder he didn't commit, and Gaby soon suspects that Lauren's presence on her flight can't be a coincidence. Because the murder victim is Francine Breary, the wife of the only man Gaby has ever truly loved. Tim Breary has confessed, and even provided the police with evidence. The only thing he hasn't given them is a motive. He claims to have no idea why he murdered his wife....

I’ve listen to her stories where she’s picked up the gauntlet from Agatha Christie I thought she was a good writer. And Sophie is a good writer. However, the excessive use of the F word was really hard to listen to. When reading a book you can skip over it and it’s not in your face or rather your ears. It would be great if we had an option to remove the curse words from a book.

Good story too much of the F word

The plot here was ridiculous, as Hannah's plots are getting to be. The Spilling police are becoming more of a joke than ever. Actually, this was almost a stand-alone book since the cops had so little to do with it. Liv and Briggs are still in their unlikely involvement, while Simon and Charlie's marriage is as inexplicable as ever. Yet I found this a thoroughly enjoyable book for some reason. Hannah just has that gift of creating interesting characters and putting them in situations where you are compelled to find out what happens. Maybe it is because it's all so absurd, but a Sophie Hannah "thriller" (hah) really is always worth reading.

Sophie Hannah, always interesting

I’m not really following the story although it’s interesting when I pay attention. I am enthralled by Elizabeth Sastre. She caught my ear decades ago as Thursday Next and I would enjoy her reading the phone book….
I am impressed that she can handle ridiculous run-on sentences here too.

I only listened for E. Sastre

Loved the humor Elizabeth Sastre added to this brilliant mystery. Didn't want it to end.

Narrator was fantastic, one of my favorite audible performance ever. Typical Sophie Hannah story, rich, layered and literary.

Exceptional narration, involving story

So many minor characters. Unrealistic relationships between lovers, friends, marriage and even enemies. Just unbelievable characters. All whining and just don’t think normally. I started not to care about any character.

All over the place

I love this author! Usually her stories are full of twists and turns and many many characters. This time, she has slowed things down a bit. It makes for a slow burn, suspenseful and very clever dialogue. There is a lot of humor too. Very enjoyable!

More like a psychological love story than thriller

Huge disappointment!
I was listening to the narration during my work commute, 55 min one way. This book was one long suffering. It managed to make my early drive feel twice as long. Masochistic Gaby seems to have lost any self respect long time ago , bunch of lying phsychopats as other characters. Overall, listening to all that drivel was like choking on pizza box hoping it will become actual pizza.... any moment now.

Struggled to finish

a rather slow story without many twists but still bearable as presentation quite clever and that just made it a boring pleasant listen.

Not much mystery

I usually love Sophie Hannah's books but this one was so boring! I found myself wishing it would end.
