About this listen

*Soon to be a major ITV and StudioCanal TV show starring James Norton and Niamh Algar*

Pete Riley answers the door one morning to a parent's worst nightmare. On his doorstep is Miles Lambert, who breaks the devastating news that Pete's two-year-old, Theo, isn't Pete's real son - their babies got mixed up at birth.

The two families agree that, rather than swap the boys back, they'll try to find a more flexible way to share their children's lives. But a plan to sue the hospital triggers an investigation that unearths disturbing questions about just what happened the day the babies were switched.

And when Theo is thrown out of nursery for hitting other children, the Rileys have to ask themselves: how far do they want this arrangement to go? What secrets lie hidden behind the Lamberts' smart front door? How much can they trust the real parents of their child - or even each other?

I’m a huge fan of psychological thriller books/ebooks and this was the best I’ve listened to in years! The story was completely different to anything I’d read/listened to before.

Only dropped a star on performance because as a Welsh person the Welsh accent in the book make me cringe every time I heard it! It was not good. But it was only a tiny part and the overall book was still great enough for me to forgive it.

Something different

loved the twist, did get a bit bored somewhere in the middle but it was worth waiting until the end. Read it

Def worth a read!

This book is so tense! This left me feeling the way I feel on waking after a nightmare. The impossibility of the situation dealt with by the characters meant that for a while I had to force myself to read it (well, listen to it)...and then I just couldn’t put it down.
A very compelling and uncomfortable read - that I will be recommending to everyone! Great book!

Not a relaxing read!

This was okay. Mildly entertaining. I enjoyed that there were multiple narrator's. The story was slightly far fetched. It was an easy listen.

Meh

An un put downable book. took me a few chapters to get into it but then just couldn't stop listening. The idea for this story was well researched and credible.
I liked all the characters except of course the villain!

Excellent from the start to finish

At every twist and turn you are just flabbergasted at how things get out of control for the two protagonists. The story is told very well and each step is measured but exciting. A great read.

Totally enjoyed this
