About this listen
It’s a beautiful day for a wedding. White roses scent the air and the summer sunlight streams in. A spoon chimes against a champagne flute and the room falls silent. And there he is - my husband - getting to his feet to propose a toast. He’s still handsome. His new wife is next to him, gazing upwards, oblivious.
I’m not supposed to be here. All these years in the same town and I had no idea until I saw his name on the seating plan. He lived with me, once. Loved me. Small-town memories are long, but the people in this room don’t want to remember.
They say the healing is in letting go, but after what he did, he needs to know we haven’t gone away just because he’s shut his eyes.
So I take Daisy by the hand and step forward from the shadows. He notices us and his eyes widen. The champagne glass falls from his hand and smashes. Then he sags forward, making a terrible sound - a sort of strangled scream....
A powerfully emotional novel with a dark secret at its heart. This family drama will keep you hooked until the very last chapter. Perfect for fans of The Silent Wife, Kate Hewitt, and Jodi Picoult.

Pleasant listen with interesting characters
The narrators voice is easy to listen to which is one of the most important things for audio book.
Ali Mercer has created a great pretext for a story and hearing the story unfold from a number of different perspectives made the best use of tension as the story that initially unfolds takes an unexpected turn. With the story involving single mother Jenny and her two teenage daughters, Ava and Emily there are lots of different elements going on. With a hint of the supernatural thrown in for good measure I wondered which way the story would take.
This was a fairly gentle yet involved listen that has accompanied me through lockdown nicely

Soooooo sad
This story is so sad, nothing happy happens coz even the happy stuff was made sad. Narrator was also sad. If you're looking for a downer, this is your book! Otherwise steer clear!

His secret family. By Ali Mercer
His secret family. By Ali Mercer. I Really disliked the whole book and didn’t even like the narrator either. By the end of it I was so bored that I couldn’t even cared less about any of the children or who their parents were!
