About this listen

My son and his girlfriend stand there, two terrified teenagers shivering in the doorway, and say the unthinkable. ‘I think we killed someone.’ Now, I have to decide exactly what kind of mother I am…

Everything changes in a heartbeat the night Conor and his girlfriend Paris Levinson come to us begging for help, their clothes spattered with blood. They say it was an accident, that they were in the wrong place at the wrong time…

A mother’s intuition is never wrong, and I know there is more they aren’t telling us. But Paris’ mother Helen and I have to make a choice that will change all of our lives. Do we tell the truth, and risk losing our children forever? Or do we lie to keep them safe?

We will do anything to protect our children, but one wrong move could cost us everything. Lying to the police was a risk, and now Helen is acting more unpredictable by the day – turning up at my house unannounced, harassing my husband, telling lies about my past…

The only way to save my family is to uncover the truth about that night. I’m convinced the answers lie hidden inside the Levinsons’ house. I’d do anything for Conor, but am I prepared for what I might find behind locked doors? But when your son is in danger, you find out what kind of mother you are…

Brilliant story, brilliant narrator!

I just love Anna-lou Weatherly’s books. A lot of twists and turns and the characters really comes alive on the pages. Dan Riley is someone I wish I knew. I hate to be interrupted while listening to her books.

Interesting plot and a grating voice

Enjoyed the plot and the layers of lies and deception. Loved Ed’s (the husband) and Dan’s (the lead detective) characters. Unfortunately, the male
narrator’s voice for Christine was hard to listen to. Suppose it fit her anxious character - just made me wince.

The dynamic duo does it again!

Anna is such an amazing writer and transports her readers into her stories. And James the narrator embodies all of the characters so beautifully. Such a great performance. It was cracking me up when Christine was calling for Helen so much 😂

I adore this series!! Dan Riley is amazing!

It’s kind of weird that I’m crushing on a fictional character, but I am. But it’s not just the only reason why these books are fantastic. The storytelling, the pace, the other characters, are all truly extremely well written. Please hurry and write the next book in this series Because I already miss Dan Riley. Thanks for a fantastic series!
