Publisher's summary

“Can you start right away?” I can hear the desperation in Dr. Roth’s voice. He’s longing for someone to look after his poor, sick wife Sabrina in their perfect Florida home. The job pays an awful lot. And I really need the money. As long as they don’t ask too many questions…

I spend my days by Sabrina’s side. She has everything money could buy—a luxurious home, a handsome, doting husband who would do anything for her. I hate cleaning up her mess, picking her designer clothes off the floor, and driving her to the golf club. I hate how she sneers at me, no matter what I do. But I have to remember why I’m really here.

Dr. Roth has made it clear I have to make sure she takes her medication. Because if she doesn’t, there’s hell to pay. Three times a day, I count her sedative pills carefully. Sabrina rambles about the death of a child. About a terrible accident. Dr. Roth shakes his head sadly. Delusions are a heartbreaking symptom of his wife’s illness, he says.

But when Dr. Roth leaves the house, Sabrina becomes more clear-headed. She tells me she’s done something terrible. And that her husband is lying. He keeps her trapped because of what she did. And I’m the only one who can help her escape.

Can I believe the words of a woman suffering from delusions? Or is Dr. Roth not as trustworthy as he seems? Someone is lying. And if the Roths find out why I’m really here, this could take a deadly turn…

An unbelievably gripping psychological thriller with a mind-blowing twist that will have you up listening deep into the night. Fans of The Doctor’s Wife, The Perfect Marriage and The Surgeon won’t be able to put this down!

At first it was intriguing

A good premise for the story, I wanted to see how it would play out. It started off well, very engaging with good naration, but it moved along very slowly. Still, it kept my interest through the first half. At that point it became repetitious, mired and convoluted. I pushed on hoping it would all add up, so I did finish listening to the whole thing, but the ending was disappointing, and it didn't go the way I was hoping it would go. For me personally, I don't like to listen to a story for 12 hours and then have a wrap up in the last few minutes, with an explantion of what really happened instead of what you had just listened to for hours. Additionally, I was disappointed with the main character at the end and wish it had all been handled differently.
