Summary

An absolutely gripping psychological thriller

All she wanted was the life they had....

It is the day of Erin’s 40th birthday party. Pink and silver balloons drift through her garden, the platters of food are empty, and the recycling is overflowing with empty wine bottles.

As Erin mingles with groups of family and friends, surrounded by love and laughter, she feels like the luckiest woman alive. She has no idea what fate has in store....

Then a little red envelope lands on the doormat and everything changes.

Inside is a birthday card from somebody she never dreamed would get in touch. Its message is a chilling reminder of the dark past that Erin has worked so hard to bury, a past that could put her precious family in terrible danger....

A gripping, spine-chilling listen brimming with secrets and lies. If you loved The Girl on the Train or The Woman in the Window then this dark, twisting psychological thriller from best-selling author Jess Ryder is guaranteed to have you gripped.

Great story with a twist

really enjoyed this book from the start. I like the way the author read different chapters through each character. it kept me on the edge of my seat until the end.
I think more could of been elaborated with the ending.
the ex wife was a better book by this author but still a very good listen

Lots of twists and turns

Really enjoyed this book. Wasn’t predictable and there were lots of twists and turns - though a couple of loose ends I wasn’t sure about. That might have just been me!
The character of Jade was complex and interesting. Well written and kept interest high throughout.

Average all round

I must have read the wrong reviews expecting this to be a 5* listen. it wasn't terrible and I persevered to the end but I haven't felt the 'loss' you feel when you finish a great book and are dying to read the author's next offering. Erin is boring and stuffy, Tom is boring and sanctimonious, and Oliver doesn't come across like any 18yr old I've ever known. The friends are odd and Jade has a personality transplant before the end. Issues arise and are never mentioned again and some of the phrasing and conversations are strange, not how you'd normally speak. I wonder what effect a different delivery would've had, by different narrators with more expression perhaps. Glad I can move on
