About this listen
A page-turning, domestic drama that tells the gripping story of two families faced with a tragedy that could change them forever.
Two couples.
Two daughters.
Two sons.
One tragedy.
Too many secrets.
Lauren Rivers has it all. Two beautiful daughters, a doting husband, and a home that belongs on the cover of a magazine. She also has roots that run deep in the esteemed beach town of Flagport, Massachusetts. When Evie Sullivan moves across the street, the two become fast friends. Evie is nothing like Lauren’s other friends. She’s quiet, contemplative, and holds steady to her modest upbringing. These are the things that Lauren loves about her new best friend. But that all changes when Lauren’s teenage daughter, Lily, is in a car accident. As Lauren races to the hospital to see the daughter she’s always put on a pedestal, she runs into Evie’s family. What she finds out next will threaten their friendship forever. Fears set in, secrets come to the surface, and one of the women must come to terms with her past.

Story
What happened to Peter’s first family? His wife, his children—all of them are dead, and rumors swirl around Peter himself as the culprit. My name is Aubree Van Lullen, once whispered about for all the wrong reasons. But that was before Peter Woodley entered my life, a man accused of the unthinkable—murdering his family. The gravity of his past should have frightened me away, but instead, I found myself pulled closer. A kinship of two souls wronged by the misconception given by the world. He expounded his innocence. And now I’ve built my own family with him. We did our best to leave ...

Story
After 18 years of marriage, Kathy Walker has settled into a pattern of comfortable routines-ferrying her two teenagers between soccer practice and piano lessons, running a film production business with her husband, Robert, and taking care of the beautiful Boston home they share. Then one day, Kathy discovers a suspicious number on her husband's phone. Six years before, Kathy accused Robert of infidelity - a charge he vehemently denied - and almost destroyed their marriage in the process. Now Kathy must decide whether to follow her suspicions and risk of losing everything, or to trust.

I thought moving to this quiet cul-de-sac was the fresh start my husband and I needed, escaping the noise of our cramped flat in Hounslow. I left India and all that was familiar for a new life with him in England. But my husband works all hours, leaving me alone in a house that doesn’t feel like a home. Our neighbours notice the bruises on my arms. They draw the obvious conclusions. They seem kind, but they’re hiding something. I just can’t shake the feeling that someone is always watching me . . . waiting. My husband’s working late. Again. That’s when I see it.

Virtual voice is not great for this book
There was to much emotion missed, and it’s still to flat to do big emotion books. Not a bad story if you can hang in there

Good Book but hate virtual voice narration
I enjoyed the story however, the virtual voice narration is horrible. I much prefer the human narration where there are inflections, emotions, drama, etc the virtual voice narration just kinda drones on and it makes the book harder to get into and stick with.

Great plot, horrible narration
Amazing story plot, characters. Couldn’t stop pressing pause; however there were times it was hard to enjoy bc of the robotic, unemotional voice of AI narration. Would have been more gripping if read by a human narrator. Not sure the reasoning to choose AI but hoping it’s reconsidering for future published.
