After the sudden death of her husband, Christine Harvey would do anything to give her precious children Molly and Ryan a fresh start. The huge clifftop house she’s hastily purchased has the most breath-taking ocean view she’s ever seen. Surely here they can someday be happy again?
But Christine had no idea that her family’s new dream house is right next door to where a child was abducted and murdered. And nobody told her that the father – who was the main suspect in the police investigation before it collapsed – still lives there.
Everyone urges her to move on, but Christine can’t stop thinking about that child. Fearing for the safety of Molly and Ryan, she frantically delves deeper into the old case, looking for anything that will give them some answers.
But some secrets are best left buried, and as the behaviour of their new neighbour grows increasingly unsettling, Christine wonders if digging up this one was the worst thing she could have done for her family…
From the number-one bestselling author, this is a captivating listen with a twist that will make you gasp. Perfect for fans of JP Delaney, The Housemaid and Shari Lapena, you won’t be able to stop listening.

The character of Ryan’s dialogue was un realistic and boring in the end. The part that was supposed be exciting and tie everything up was drawn out way to long and bit redundant. I was disappointed.
Good

Great story!

The writing was decent overall but there were some glaring holes in the plot, namely why the mother chose to move to the cove. It made no sense and wasn't really explained. You'll know what I mean toward the end of the book.
What almost killed me, however, was the narration. The characters were so ridiculously over-performed, especially when the main character (Erika) was speaking, that I found myself cringing throughout the entire book. I think Erika could have been portrayed as a strong, intelligent and focused detective without the loud/clipped/obnoxious voice she was given. It made her unlikable to the point of distraction.
While not a favorite, I would have found the story worth the credit but the narration killed it for me.
Sort of okay

Engaging, complex story with great characters and many twists and turns.
I didn’t like the narrator at all. Overacting to the point of being very distracting and silly. Annoying! She’s a stage actor with no subtlety, not a book narrator.
Great story

I found an author that keeps you captivated and questioning the storyline. I thought I knew the ending but was wrong. Love it. I’ll definitely read more novels by Dunnett.
That was an unexpected twist!
