About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

The unputdownable bestseller from Shari Lapena, author of THE COUPLE NEXT DOOR and EVERYONE HERE IS LYING

Why would you run scared from a happy home?

You're waiting for your beloved husband to get home from work.

You're making dinner, looking forward to hearing about his day.

That's the last thing you remember.

You wake up in hospital, with no idea how you got there. They tell you that you were in an accident; you lost control of your car whilst driving in a dangerous part of town.

The police suspect you were up to no good. But your husband refuses to believe it. Your best friend isn't so sure. And even you don't know what to believe . . .

'The queen of the one-sit read' Linwood Barclay

I enjoyed this, I didn't particularly like or engage with any of the characters but the plot twists are clever and will keep you guessing.

Kept me guessing until the end.

I read the couple next door and this, in a similar vein keeps the reader gripped until the last sentence. I didn't enjoy the narrator so much to begin with, but that is personal taste.

Really enjoyed this, such a gripping storyline where you constantly question who did it, kept me guessing till the end. Very well read too.

Gripping storyline

I'm writing this half way through. I'm trying to resist just putting this down. It's not gripping me, and I'm fairly bored.
It's seems to drag along, and some of the character's arguments are irritating. It also feels like it's been too long before the story advances anywhere. I'm finding myself checking what chapter I'm on and how much I've got left.
l'd like to know what happens though, it's a fairly interesting premise.

... I have since finished it. I listened to the last bit with double narration speed to get through it. I didn't expect the twist at the end, and I did quite like the ending.
I wouldn't ever re-read this one.

Okay, but drags.

Good narration; no accents, no shouting, no music, only minor strained voices for certain individuals here and there. Thanks! At first, was glad there wasn't a clear, prosecutable perpetrator until the realisation that there was one.at the very end (who remained free) and not one I expected. A good listen.

Clever Protagonist

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
An unmemorable book that plodded along for the first few hours of the recording. A bit too much over-wrought screeching by the main female character and then more from her female friend. It all seemed very predictable and formulaic. It gathers a bit of pace in the latter part and the unexpected final twist appears from nowhere with no clues laid down so seems an afterthought. It's a time-filler rather than anything special.

OK but not that good

Really enjoyable listen, I was gripped to the storyline and listened to the whole thing in just a couple of days!

Definitely gripped me
