Publisher's summary

The brilliant psychological thriller from bestseller Valerie Keogh.

Grieving or guilty?

When Allison’s wealthy and charming husband Peter is found dead, she appears distraught, devastated...delighted?

Because despite an apparently picture-perfect marriage, Allison knows it was all built on a bed of lies.

And as the truth regarding Peter’s life and death are revealed, Allison must try to keep her own dark past buried.

Because if Peter was keeping secrets, then his widow is too....

Perfect for fans of Sue Watson, Shalini Boland and K. L. Slater.

Critic reviews

"Keogh is the queen of compelling narratives and twisty plots." (Jenny O'Brien)

"A wonderful book, I can’t rate this one highly enough. If only there were ten stars, it’s that good. Valerie Keogh is a master story-teller, and this is a masterful performance." (Anita Waller, bestselling author)

Read My Review!

Dumbest book ever. I gave it 5 stars in hopes it would make it past Audibles filters where they only post the good reviews. Dragged on and on with the author all over the place as if it was a 4th grader who wrote it with ADHD. Awful.

Everything I wanted in a cosy twisty domestic psychological thriller

I am thrilled this was included in Audible Plus. I will be seeking out other books by this author. A perfect domestic thriller for me. Well written, a slightly different angle on things! Perfect!

Wowzers.

That was one wild ride. You clearly know why some of what is happening but that second little twist was nice and the ending played so well together.

Not great

Not awful but not unlistenable. 3 out of 5. Drags a lot. At times the narrator is just too dramatic and breathy. Honey it’s not that dramatic. Take it down a notch.
