Newlywed Jade Westmore has finally found her forever in husband Wells, a charming, successful, and recently divorced architect—only there’s one caveat: behind the gates of their elysian estate, hidden from street view in the caretaker’s cottage … lives Wells’s first wife, Sylvie.

Three years ago, the original Mrs. Westmore suffered a nervous breakdown—and hasn’t uttered a sound since. Not a physician, psychologist, or world-renown specialist has been able to elicit so much as a word from the silent woman … until now.

On an ordinary Tuesday while Wells was away—despite instructions to never disturb the fragile woman—Jade visited her isolated predecessor bearing a peace offering: a bouquet of white lilies. Only she wasn’t expecting Sylvie to have something for her as well: a slip of torn notebook paper with a single word scrawled in shaky black ink.

That word? Run.

This was an amazing listen. I was on the edge of my seat. screaming at the dramatic chapter ends in awe! I did not want to stop and now that it's over I'm sad.

Great book!

Started off very “Verity”ish but got better and ended up a different story. Not my favorite of her books but still worth the listen.

Not too bad!

I enjoyed this book until the ending. I listen to all books twice and I still only gave 4 stars.

The ending wrapped up too quickly for me. Real life is messy.

Great story

I love the overall idea behind the book, it has a very captivating overview. I wish it was longer though. I wish there was more in-between. I wish they went more into depth on some things and events. it reminds me of a lifetime drama in the way that you're not provided much back story or aftermath, you are thrown straight into the peak of the drama and then it ends. like a lifetime drama it's predictable but you can't stop, it draws you in.
overall it's a great quick read if that's what you are looking for, I enjoyed it and I think my teen daughter will love it too!

Reminisce of a life time drama.

Nice little story, very easy to follow. Likeable characters, and not too many of them. Somewhat believable as well.

Entertaining

Great story!

Book started out great, but as it went on I got Deja vu. This book is a lot like the wife upstairs.

Almost Just like the wife upstairs

I was bummed when this ended, such a great story, excellent narration. I pretty much finished this one within a day.

Excellent!

Love Minka Kent this one was just okay for me though. It was something to listen to but more of a fiction than a psychological listen. Jade's narrator was well received but didn't care for Sylvie's as much.

Just okay
