About this listen

 ‘Pure adrenaline: I swallowed this book whole’ ERIN KELLY, author of top ten bestseller He Said/She Said
‘A stunning debut … Superbly written, clever and engrossing’ B A PARIS, author of Behind Closed Doors
The perfect couple commit the perfect crime in this New York Times bestselling thriller, a Reese Witherspoon Book Club pick!

This unabridged audio version is read by the author, Catherine Steadman.

Erin is a documentary filmmaker on the brink of a professional breakthrough; Mark a handsome investment banker with a bright future. They seem to have it all, until Mark loses his job and cracks start to appear in their perfect life.

But they’re determined to make it work. They book their dream honeymoon and trust that things will work out – after all, they have each other.

On the tropical island of Bora Bora Mark takes Erin scuba diving. Mark is with her – she knows he’ll keep her safe. Everything will be fine. Until they find something in the water.

Erin and Mark decide to keep their discovery a secret -- after all, if no one else knows, who would be hurt? Their decision will trigger a devastating chain of events... which will endanger everything they hold dear.

Entertaining story but very much spoiled by the bizarre ticking noise constantly through out. Such a shame as it was very distracting.

A good listen

Was a good listen, main character became annoying but overall it did keep me wanting to know what happens next.
I think it was abit of a slow build up at the beginning setting the scene and then it all happens at the end so you just have to preserve with it.

Would recommend to friends though!

Brilliant, so well read , it made the emotion more real. The story was excellent, with the description of there actions was easily followed, and made it more suspense. The twist at the end was excellent, followed by the sad but true to life today , made it a really worth while read , a bit scary to life. Would make a great tv drama.
