Summary

She watched the man help her out of the car. How could he bring this woman here and not change a thing? She wondered if his new wife was going to be safe in this house.

Daniel is everything I ever dreamed of. A handsome, successful doctor who truly swept me off my feet. I can’t wait to get back from our honeymoon and begin our new lives together.

Except, rather than taking us back to our flat, Daniel announces we are moving to a new house in a different city. And when we arrive, the house is fully furnished, with plates in the cupboard, pictures on the walls and new clothes in my closet. It’s like someone already lives here. It seems a bit strange. But I know Daniel is just trying to make sure our new life is perfect, right from the start.

And it is perfect. He’s perfect.

Until one day, Daniel makes a mistake. One that has terrible consequences. And he blames me.

I suddenly don’t recognize the kind, selfless man I fell in love with.

And soon after, an elderly lady I’ve often seen on our street knocks on the door. She tells me that I need to be careful, that I can’t trust my husband.

That I should ask him what happened to his first wife.

Liz Lawler, the true master of psychological suspense, is back with a heart-stopping, dark, and twisted story of what really goes on behind closed doors. Fans of Samantha Downing, B A Paris, and JP Delaney will be totally enthralled.

Passed my day okay

Intriguing start, but Ended rushed and head-mushing. The 'twist' doesn't quite work for me. And the "Just one more night then I'll go" hmmm. I just think most people would have been gone in a shot.

Enjoyable listen

I found this book to be an enjoyable, easy listen. The story has a twist at the end but a coherent one. I enjoy Liz Lawler books and this was no exception.

Well......

No wonder it was in the sale: Mills and Boon crossed with Hello!!
Full of inconsistencies: for example: A Vascular Consultant DOES NOT deal with Alzheimers!!
and please tell me.. who gets raped twice by her husband then the next day makes him a cuppa!!
and do not get me started on the flowery, utopian language when she finds out she's pregnant... AFTER being raped.
Garbage.

same old, same old

dramatic vice to describe everyday actions to try to make the story drag out and sound more interesting 'she took the cup and placed a tea bag on and poured in the boiled water from the kettle'....thats the gist of it.
