The chilling new psychological thriller from the #1 bestselling author of I Am Watching You.

It was their darkest secret. Three schoolgirls made a promise - to take the horrible truth of what they did to the grave.

Thirty years later, Beth and Sally have tried to put the trauma behind them. Though Carol has distanced herself from her former friends, the three are adamant that the truth must never come to light, even if the memory still haunts them.

But when some shocking news threatens to unearth their dark secret, Beth enlists the help of private investigator Matthew Hill to help her and Sally reconnect with estranged Carol ­- before the terrible act they committed as teenagers is revealed.

Beth wishes she could take back the vow they made.

But somebody is watching and will stop at nothing to ensure the secret stays buried. Now, with her beloved family in peril, can Beth still keep the promise?

I liked the book, I think in terms of subject matter and the ability to grasp the issues and challenges of a person and the emotions that go with it, this was a very good listen with a very good narrator. However, there was an unnecessary dramatic build up to the secret promise. Honestly It could have been revealed early on and then the after effects played out through out the story. The flaw was in the writers’ thought process that the center of the book was a promise when it really was the development of the characters surrounding the effects of the promise. It was still a very good book.

Interesting listen with good plots

I found the story captivating with many twists. I kept guessing wrong; a good thing. Although it was not upsetting for me, women or men who have lost a fetus or child may find this story further upsetting.

Not advisable for parents grieving loss of a child

I went through something similar to Carol, about 43 years ago. I want to thank the author for not dragging that part of the story. This was actually therapeutic for me.

Loved this twisty story. It turned out differently than I thought. Teresa Driscoll is so good at not giving away who the bad guy is and I love that. Character development was so good. I really felt like I knew these women when they were young in boarding school and now as adults. It was great seeing Matt starting out and how he met Sally. Narration was perfect!!!!

Great Suspense!

I finished this book but it didn’t grab my attention and make me want to listen 24/7 there was mystery but not much suspense. The story was dragged on. But it wasn’t bad. I just prefer more suspense

The story was a little slow and not very thrilling
