About this listen

When the rules turn deadly, winning is everything.

Only available from Audible, a gripping psychological thriller from the author of Silent Child, Saving April, and The Broken Ones. Perfect for fans of Gillian Flynn, Lisa Jewell and Paula Hawkins.

This gripping multi-voice audiobook features Billie Piper as Effie, Dan Stevens as Ben, Shane Zaza as David, and Avita Jay as Sophie, other roles are played by Felicity Duncan, David Holt and Sarah Whitehouse.

The perfect couple. The perfect marriage. The perfect game.

Effie and Ben May have everything. Success. Beauty. Glamour. But beneath the charming smiles and expensive clothes, a twisted game is in progress.

A game for which only they know the rules.

Leaving their fast-paced London life behind them, the Mays move to the exclusive gated community of Ivy Oaks. Here they can settle down and start a family in this quiet, safe little neighbourhood. At least, that’s what they tell their new neighbours.

But the truth has deadly consequences.

While Effie and Ben scheme and manipulate those around them, they fail to notice their carefully cultivated façade crumbling away. The perfect couple soon turn the game on each other, breaking all the rules. But when the stakes are life and death, losing isn’t an option.

As the final cards are dealt, who will play the winning hand and who will pay the ultimate price?

Just breathtaking, right up until the very, very last twist! Gripped from the very beginning.

highlighting narcissistic abuse and other forms of coercive control in modern fiction is a good way to help people to recognise it who may not in day to day life. I like the way the author takes a common theme and works her magic, weaving twists and turns to keep one guessing until the very end. so much fiction is written to a formula these days but not this author.

super story as always

Great narration and credible characters. I usually don't like music in ab audio book as it's often cheap and tinkly. But it works in this one. And is neither cheap or tinkly !
The various people playing different characters works and makes it easy to invest in each of them. Good story that flows with nice twists and conclusion!

Nice pace with good twists
