Publisher's summary

On a warm spring evening, guests gather in a perfectly manicured garden to celebrate Maggie and Len’s twenty-fifth wedding anniversary. Maggie leans against the apple tree, watching her fun-loving husband and darling children as her heart swells with pride. As the joyful party atmosphere disappears into the night, close by, the lifeless body of a young woman is pulled from a river.

Slipping upstairs to find the special gift for her adoring husband, Maggie stumbles across something else hidden amongst the dusty boxes of family keepsakes...

A printed pink silky scarf that doesn’t belong to her. She holds it up to her face, breaths in the sweet sickly perfume, it’s scent familiar, and tendrils of fear snake through her body. The scarf is stained with blood.

As Maggie re-joins the party and tries to ignore her churning stomach, she pours herself a glass of champagne to toast the man she’s enjoyed decades of happy marriage with. Then she catches a news flash of the local girl’s murder. She stares at the girl with the beautiful face, long ice-blonde hair and, draped loosely around her neck, Maggie recognises it instantly. She’s wearing the scarf.

An utterly addictive and twisty story about the complex web of secrets within a family that will have you racing through to the mind-blowing end. If you love Lisa Jewell, Gillian Flynn and Behind Closed Doors, you won’t be able to put this down!

Predictable, somewhat, but great story!

Really liked this one… It was free, so I’m never sure about those but the performance of the narrator was great, and the story itself had some twist and turns that weren’t expected

Waited for this one

I have read every book in this series and loved them all. I couldn’t wait till this became an audiobook and I liked it fine but I think I was to hyped up for it. I figured out the killer way too soon. But still a good read

Loved It!

So many unpredictable twists and it’s suspenseful! So well written and I love the narration. I started this series back when the Couple on Cedar Close was included with audible. Then I was hooked. I was counting the days til this book released and it did not disappoint. I’m just sad there aren’t more!!!

Enjoyed it

I have read all the other books in this series, and was waiting for this one to make it to Audible. Great narration, good writing but I figured the killer out before it was even to the halfway mark.

Frustratingly good listen

Despite having figured it out early on in the book, I still enjoyed it. The narration was so good. I love when a man can read for a female using a feminine lilt without going all soprano. His voice was melodic and I had no trouble distinguishing btwn each character. I didn’t care for Maggie and wished I could slap the woman many times throughout. The unexpected twist in the middle of the story was really gripping. The “whodunnit” moment lacked thrills because I saw obvious clues throughout. The story ended with the last few paragraphs bringing me to tears. Great series and I’m looking forward to the next one!

*SPOILER* I had a problem with the DNA evidence recovered, should’ve revealed to the cops they were looking for a woman and not a man.

Well played!

Great read. The story is unique to anything I’ve read, and it kept me hooked to the very end.

Dan Reilly Series

Absolutely a gripping thriller. Each book of the Dan Riley series is better than the last. I could not pit it down.

Fantastic

The whole thing is extremely well written, has the perfect person reading, and keeps you fully invested. It will make you gasp, question the characters, and break your heart.
