The USA TODAY bestseller!

WINNER of the best thriller in the National Film Awards 2023

Inspired by a true story…

*Now a major motion picture starring Samantha Bond, Emily Berrington and Ben Lloyd-Hughes*

‘A dark, sexy thriller where no one is who they seem. I devoured it! You will too!' Sunday Times bestseller Sarah Pinborough

You think you love him. But can you trust him?

‘Dark, twisty and enthralling’ Paul Finch

A gripping debut psychological thriller about the dark secrets in a perfect marriage. For fans of Shari Lapena.

I ended my marriage for a man who didn’t exist…

I have everything money can buy. I’m a good wife, but sometimes I feel trapped. And when I start an affair with a stranger called Ewan, my life changes in ways I can’t begin to understand.

Because Ewan breaks apart my marriage piece by piece and then he just disappears. He uses a fake name and leaves no trace behind; it’s like he doesn’t even exist.

Someone did this to me and now they’re waiting for me to unravel, watching my every move. I can’t trust anyone, not even myself – not even the people I love.

‘Samantha Lee Howe does a great job of painting a picture of a woman who no longer knows who to trust or what is real; sinister and thought provoking’ Jackie Kabler, bestselling author of The Perfect Couple

I especially want to say that the woman who read the narrator’s part has an exquisite voice. The best I have heard after listening to audible books for four years. The story itself has the right amount of twists and seems believable. One of the better domestic thrillers.

It kept me coming back for more. I thought things unfolded well and while none of the characters are very likable, they’re interesting.

Entertaining

Overall, I liked this one. Far fetched? Yes. Lots of moving pieces that may not always effortlessly fit together? Yes. But it keeps you guessing, the narration is good, and it’s worth a credit or buying on sale.

None of this gonna happen, but still good!

Jess Nesling does an amazing job narrating this story. Perfect pauses, clear pronunciations, great at changing voice for each character. Great job!

The story itself was a pretty good one, quite entertaining, even funny at times. I wish the ending could’ve been stretched out a bit more because I so was not ready for the story to end yet. Maybe there’ll be another story with Charlotte, Daniel, & Melody…….

Excellent Narration

I loved almost all of this fast-paced psychological thriller. A married woman has an affair and is about to leave her controlling husband for a happier life. Then the lover--and all evidence of their affair--just disappears. Wow, this is way better than yet another tale about a kidnapped child! I couldn't wait to find out what was really going on. I did think that the ending was a little drawn out, with too much time devoted to explanations. But what an exciting ride! Overall rating: 4.5 stars rounded up.

This is definitely an author I want to follow.

Magnificent and original storyline!

If I could have somehow reach through this phone and shook or smacked the main character I would. I made myself finish certain chapters. The ending was good but too much left until the end.

It was a good listen but…

I like domestic thrillers and that's what this book is. I thought it was decent, but not all that thrilling.

Good, not great.

I had been having a problem finding just the right audiobook in my library. Eventually, I found this hidden gem and paid $9.93. I save my treasured credits for pricier books. Author Samantha Lee Howe pens a classic, suspenseful and complexellent mystery that gripped me from the very beginning and never let go. She interweaves a plot with beautifully creepy surroundings, suspicious characters, family members, twisty turns and what can only be described as a rare wow factor. Who can be trusted? Love? Hate? You’ll be surprised. I know I was taken aback. I didn’t figure it out until the shocking jaw-dropping ending. Narrated by Jess Nesling, her vocal expertise brings this story to vivid life. I do so love my British chillers and this one is one of the best in my vast Audible library. The unexpected ending had me reeling. Every character is presented to perfection. Howe and Nesling make a perfect pair and I look forward to many more from these two talented and accomplished women. Highly recommended. Epic, I say! Epic!
