Summary
"A proper twisty thriller."—Sarah Pinborough
A stranger has infiltrated your family…and now he’s taking over.
Paul’s just here to help, or so he claims—sent by a charity for vulnerable people to do odd jobs for elderly widow Gwen. But for Gwen’s daughter Connie, there’s just something about Paul that rings alarm bells from day one. He’s a little too kind, a little too involved…Worse still, Gwen seems to have fallen under his spell.
The last thing Connie wants is a stranger meddling in the safe routine she’s built around Gwen. She loves being the one Gwen turns to for cooking, cleaning and company. But the more Paul visits, the more Gwen is relying on him. By the time he conveniently finds himself between homes and has no choice but to move in, Connie is certain he’s trying to push her out completely.
It’s her word against his, though, and as her attempts to unmask him become ever more desperate she’s not the only one left wondering if she’s lost her grip on reality. But when events start spiralling rapidly out of her control, should Connie wage all-out war on Paul and risk losing Gwen forever—or has that been his plan all along?

Critic reviews
“Though not yet a household name, Marrs is an incredibly talented storyteller with a built-in audience who knows what he can do. When unfamiliar readers get their hands on this one, they’ll want more.”—Booklist
“I inhaled this book. A novel of second guesses, of mistrustful characters and downright terrifying ones. An absolute ride of a thriller. I loved it.”—L. V. Matthews, author of The Twins and The Silent Waters

Twist and turns between Connie and Meredith
I loved this book, it’s the first time I have listened to one of John marrs books but I throughly enjoyed it.

Plot twists were great!
The voices were really irritating! Took away from a good story. Not my favourite from Marrs but an interesting story.

Story line
There was nothing I didn't like. I am just typing this because there is a fifteen word minimum which is ridiculous.

Shocking narration
Brilliant story but the most irritating narration by all the artists. The upper class accent of the main character jarred with her background and personality. As for the other characters, the narration was so robotic that at times it felt as though I was being read to by Alexa. Such a shame as the book was really good, with lots of twists and turns.

Karmaaaaaaa baby
all the twists....to a point I had whiplash!!!! whaaaaat???!!!!! John Maars is a scarily goooood writer!!!! He keeps his foot on the accelerator and never lets up, while you, dear reader/listener cannot close your eyes....just when you think "I'm a seasoned reader, I can work it out..." he comes out with a swift change of gears you can't help but scream in amazement. I binged this book in a day and half.
I think there was an error in chapTer 69, when Connie went to Meredith's empty house....the narrator said "she looked up at the mirror the only thing Gwen left in the house..." I'm paraphrasing but wasn't it Meredith's house? the only thing of Gwen's in the house was Tom.
I love that John Maars made everyone get exactly what they deserved....it's comforting

Oh what a tangled web he weaves.
Another multi faceted gem of a story. Happy that most got what they deserved. I personally think it would be better read than listened to as the voices sometimes mismatched for me.

So many twists it kept me guessing
2 of the 3 narrators were brilliant, the 3rd was very stilted but didn’t detract from the story. Brilliantly done with more twists than I expected. Highly recommended

The masters of plot twists
If you like your psychological thrillers twisty and turny then you will love this fast paced page turner, well written and well plotted you never quite know where it’s going and the unexpected keeps happening right to the very, very end .
