The perfect marriage. The perfect house. The perfect secret....

As I step through the cherry-red door of my new home, I know I should feel like the luckiest woman alive. I have a handsome husband, a beautiful daughter, and now the house of my dreams. And to everyone else my life looks perfect....

When the neighbors stop by to welcome us, I tell them my name is Stephanie Hamlin, and under the watchful gaze of my husband, Richard, I introduce him and our curly-haired little girl, Poppy. I smile as wide as I can and desperately hope I can fit in to this exclusive place with its pretty communal gardens. Because I’ve risked everything to be here.

Behind closed doors I try to relax, to unwind in the huge clawfoot bath and forget about my complicated past. It’s hard being the new couple on the street when you’ve got secrets.

Because the truth is, my charming husband isn’t really my husband.

And I’m not Stephanie Hamlin....

An absolutely gripping psychological thriller that will keep you guessing. If you love Behind Closed Doors, My Lovely Wife, and The Perfect Couple, you’ll be hooked.

I think this story had potential but it fell flat and the characters were either not developed or not developed enough. Where some could have been stronger it appears they were weak. Not only in integrity but personal worth in a way, m assuming, to make others seem stronger, more intimidating. It just didn’t work unfortunately.

Narrator did well with what she had.

Disappointed With This One

The narrator was speeding through the book. She seemed didn't capture the intense parts well and really rushed through the story.

Narrator ruined this for me

Slow start and seemed to drag. Enjoyable suspense. I wasn’t a fan of the back and forth restarting from a different perspective

Slow but good

the plot twist

This has to be the most boring and annoying books I have ever listened to. I was listening while driving a distnace so no option to play something else. I could have pulled over but I had to be somewhere. The characters all whine and the story line is just so boring. It was also a tad too predictable. Altogether really annoying..

I was a captive audience -- unfortunately
