About this listen

Who am I?

This is the question Josie asks herself when a mysterious letter arrives. Then a brutal murder turns her world upside down.

To make sense of the present, Josie must go back to the start. But who can she trust when no one knows the truth? And who is the sinister stranger obsessed with her life?

The past is catching up with Josie and the consequences will be fatal....

If you like Angela Marsons, Kathryn Croft, Helen Durrant or Rachel Abbott you will be gripped by this brilliant and bracing psychological thriller.

Instead I would just feel unsettled and frustrated, that I wasn't getting out of it, what I wanted; which is a captivating psychological thriller.

I really tried...
