About this listen

She’s been lying my whole life...

As if my mum breaking her hip and being rushed to hospital isn’t shocking enough for one day, now in her post-operative delirium, she’s just told me I’m not her daughter. That she has never been able to have children.

The nurse reassures me that people are often confused after a trauma. But I know this woman so well and I can tell there’s a grain of truth in what she says. Which begs the questions: Who am I? Where did I come from?

When I dig into the truth, I suddenly stir up a hornet’s nest of secrets, lies – and possibly a crime so unfathomable – that stretches back decades.

What has my mum done?

Can I trust her?

Or has my digging put us both in peril of our lives?

Diane Saxon’s new, absorbing thriller explores deceit, love, loyalty and family ties.

I'm in awe of Diane Saxon. This story's complexities are breathtaking. I haven't read a cleverly written book like this one in ages. 

When Siobhan discovers her mother, Grace, has lied to her, her curiosity leads her down a dangerous path. 
The characters are easy to understand, and the descriptions are written perfectly. I'm sure Saxon got an A-star in English. 

This fast-paced thriller will have you on the edge of your seat until the last page. 

Brilliant. 

5/5

Perfection.

I loved the parallel story telling, I felt the plot twists were all well disguised. Bullying in the workplace was well covered. Without giving too much away, I like the way family history was entwined in the story.

Do Not Assume you know what happened until you have all the evidence.

Great story grabbed me from the offset.

I love the way Diane Saxon builds the tension & suspense in this story, until the reader is almost bursting with anticipation. Although I guessed parts of the story, I didn’t expect that ending.
Highly recommend this psychological thriller novel.

Fabulous!

Kind of long winded… nothing new or different guessed the ending right at the beginning

Predictable
