About this listen

ITW Thriller Award winner

International Book Awards winner

Nina can never forgive Maggie for what she did. And she can never let her leave.

They say every house has its secrets, and the house that Maggie and Nina have shared for so long is no different. Except that these secrets are not buried in the past.

Every other night, Maggie and Nina have dinner together. When they are finished, Nina helps Maggie back to her room in the attic, and into the heavy chain that keeps her there. Because Maggie has done things to Nina that can’t ever be forgiven, and now she is paying the price.

But there are many things about the past that Nina doesn’t know, and Maggie is going to keep it that way - even if it kills her.

Because in this house, the truth is more dangerous than lies.

Critic reviews

"[Marrs'] most sinister novel to date." --Daily Express

"An excellent psychological thriller. A one-sitting read about a daughter who keeps her mother locked in the attic. Twisty, moving, and chilling." --Sarah Pinborough, bestselling author of Behind Her Eyes

"A tense, thrilling read - I found it impossible to put down. It’s dark and twisted, and I loved it." --Alex Michaelides, bestselling author of The Silent Patient

Whoa!

If you really enjoy physiological thrillers, this is the book for you! I don't think I've ever read a book with more twists and turns than this one. The characters are so well developed. You will find yourself loving and hating them at different times, for different reasons. I highly recommend!!

Good Tale

Interesting story of misguided love and obsessive revenge. Held my attention completely. Excellent choice of narrators.

So Twisted

I never review books however, I read reviews before I purchase. This book is suspenseful. It kept me guessing. At times it was tedious and hard to get through. It's a twisted tale. It's incredibly sad throughout. Not an uplifting story. Narration is great.

Too intense for me

Had to stop listening several times to get through this book. Definitely a horror story. maybe because I could see it happening to someone in a real life situation.

Too horrible to cry over.

However relatable these actions and feelings could be in real life I'm sure glad I had never heard of anything like this..

THE PERFORMANCE WAS EVERYTHING

Yes, it is 11 hours long. But I wasn’t bored one bit. I listened carefully to every chapter hoping I won’t miss a piece in the puzzle. It stirred up emotions inside me and made me hate both Maggie and Nina

Nice twists and turns

Who’s the bad person? Maggie or Nina?
What happened to make them behave this way?
Who will get the upper hand?
Using present day as well as memories and telling the story from two characters’ perspectives make the plot twists much more “just out of reach”.
Loved the ending...

Great book! So entertaining

I really enjoyed this book. The narrator did a great job with really dark subject matter. The story kept me guessing until the end. I am looking forward to listening to more books by this author.

Very through

I did listen to the whole book and wanted to know what happened, but wasnt really gripped or astounded. the story is overly thorough, I did feel like I knew how the characters felt and what their days were like, a little too well.

Very intriguing story

I gave this book a five stars, but I did not love the ending. Overall very interesting story and storyline. A number of twists and turns that you don’t always see coming. I would definitely recommend this but spoiler alert…… The ending is not what you expect.
