Summary

Joanne knows how lucky she is—Richard is a wonderful husband, Evie is the most gorgeous baby girl, they live in a beautiful house—life couldn't be better. But then Richard's twenty-year-old daughter Chloe turns up. Chloe hasn’t spoken to her father since the day he married Joanne two years ago. But with the arrival of her baby sister Evie, Chloe wants to make peace. Richard is delighted, and since Joanne is struggling with the new baby, he suggests Chloe could move in and help.

It sounds like the perfect solution, even if Chloe doesn’t seem to like Joanne very much. But Joanne understands it’s not easy for her, and she's prepared to give her time. But then things happen that make Joanne feel like she’s losing her mind. She misplaces things, misses important appointments, gets dates wrong… Could Joanne be going mad, just like her own mother? Or is something more sinister happening? Is Chloe really here to help? Or has Joanne made a terrible mistake by letting her move in? And is it too late to ask her to leave?

Don't normally 5 stars but...

I couldn't put this down once started, it was engaging and a good thriller. Well worth the credit and if you like twists then this is definitely for you! I put 4 stars for story as it does end of a cliff hanger which some won't like but I still think its worth a listen.

Not my cup of tea

Bit weak and slightly predictable tbh. Very repetitive too. Not sure I would recommend this audio book.

Rather predictable

It was okay, unfortunately I didn’t like the narrators voice for the male characters.

Gripping, fast paced thriller.

I hadn't been aware of Nicola Sanders writing beforehand, so I thought I'd try Don't Let Her Stay after a recommendation in a Facebook Group that I'm a member of.
I'm so glad I did. This a fabulous recommendation that I am also passing on.
This thriller will keep you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end.
My head spun with the dynamics between the husband, the second wife and the stepdaughter.
Well written and perfect for your suitcase if you are going away anytime soon.

Deserves everything she gets

Psychotic stepdaughter but the stepmother deserves everything she gets - what on earth happened to the voice record function on mobile phones? 🙄
