Summary

My husband is keeping secrets. I’m watching his every move.…

Jake and I were childhood sweethearts. Strong, dependable, and with a smile that melts my heart, he is the perfect husband and father to our beautiful little daughter. We have our money troubles–but getting a lodger, Kara, calms the panic I feel about our bills. Jake is reluctant but what choice do we have?

I’m relieved that Kara is so sweet, playing endless games of hide and seek with Elsie and settling into our home. But when I catch Jake and Kara sitting close together on the sofa one evening, they jump apart when I walk into the room. Jake promises it’s nothing….

When I search Kara’s room, I know for sure. My husband is keeping a terrible secret. And it’s much, much worse than I imagined.

Confronting him will tear our marriage apart, but I’ll do anything to protect my precious daughter.

Even if it means putting on a smile as I greet Kara at the breakfast table.

Even if it means lying to my husband’s face.

Even if it means someone has to die….

For fans of The Girl on the Train, Gone Girl, and The Housemaid, this is a psychological thriller with a mind-blowing twist you’ll never see coming.

Good bit a bit confusing

I quite enjoyed the book. Did find it a little confusing at times as was difficult to know which of the characters were speaking. Without giving too much away I did understand initially why half way through the book but after that got a bit annoying trying to work out who was actually speaking

Far fetched

Rather unconvincing. Kept wondering how the cows on the farm were being fed and milked etc when everyone was otherwise engaged!

Lost my attention....

I didn't quite reach the end because I lost interest....sorry. Also, the narrator (Katie Villa), sounded so angry all the time. Surely, sounding calmer and more contained is much more evil.

Not for me … dragged on far to long.

It started of well, then after a few chapters, it lost my attention.
Story was okish, not worth a credit. It was all a bit too far fetched. Sorry.

DIDN’T SEE THAT COMING

Would make a great film! Certainly didn’t see the twist coming. It made me gasp out loud with a WOW

Good but confusing

Good story but I was forever going back over chapters as got quite lost. Would listen to another by this author as it was a really good plot

Confusing

Not enough variation on voices to know which character was talking at times. Great plot though
