About this listen

She is his doctor. He will be her downfall.

The bestselling phenomenon returns…

‘Beautifully paced’ CARA HUNTER

‘Beautifully written with an achingly real romance at its heart’ SARAH HILARY

‘A masterclass in upmarket thriller writing’ CHARLOTTE PHILBY

‘I raced through it!’ EMMA CURTIS

When Rachel, a GP in Salisbury, meets Luc, the attraction between them is instant. But Rachel is married with a daughter – and Luc isn’t well.

Despite themselves, a heady love affair begins – one that threatens to risk everything Rachel has worked for. And when someone in the town is found dead, the spotlight turns to Luc. Torn between her career, her marriage and her heart, Rachel finds herself in the middle of something much darker than she could have imagined…

A beautifully written domestic suspense story from the master of the what-if novel.

Narrator needs an drink of water

Terrible dry, sticky (ick) clicking narration. So revolting. Really hard to listen to her mouth noises. Is the microphone too close?
Who knows about the story.
Give the narrator a drink of water!
