Summary

Zoe fainted on her wedding day, and she never knew why. She’s always felt sure something bad happened. Ten years later, she’s going to find out what....

It was supposed to be the happiest day of her life. Zoe was sitting in her hotel room, in her perfect white dress, looking forward to the moment when she would make kind, handsome Toby her husband.

Then, there was a blank.

They said she must have fainted, overcome with emotion. But nothing felt quite right afterward. Did something happen in that missing time?

Now, Toby and Zoe have two beautiful children and a perfect life. They’re planning their 10-year anniversary party for their family and friends. The invitations have been sent, the food ordered. They’re going back to the grand hotel where they got married.

But as the anniversary gets closer, it becomes clear not everyone is looking forward to celebrating. She catches Toby lying about where he’s been. One of her best friends seems to be ignoring her. And someone is spreading stories that might stop the party from happening at all.

Zoe is increasingly sure that she doesn’t have the full story. But does she want to know the truth if it will destroy everything?

From the million-copy best-selling author, this totally gripping psychological thriller will have you hooked to the last jaw-dropping twist. Perfect for fans of The Girl on the Train, Gone Girl, and The Wife Between Us.

Dragged out.

This story has a twist in the ending, however a lot of unnecessary and irrelevant characters. It keeps switching back to ‘before’ and ‘now’ I got very confused to what part I was actually listening to. It wasn’t a terrible listen but it really put me off with the swapping a changing as previously mentioned.

Great mystery

Such an excellent Domestic Suspense novel. The characters were fascinating, as were the plot twists. The narrator also did a great job.

Enjoyable

Good plot, loved the way the characters were portrayed, a few little inconsistencies about the sister that’s why I have given this four stars. Worth a listen
