About this listen

Your best friend killed a man.

Now she needs your help

But can you really trust her motives?

Emily is on holiday with her best friend, Kristen, in the stunning mountains of Chile. They're having the time of their lives until, on the last night of the trip, Emily enters their hotel suite to find it covered in blood.

Kristen claims a backpacker attacked her. She shouted, but no-one heard. She struggled, but he was too strong.

She had no option but to kill him.

With no evidence of the assault, Emily must help her hide the body....

Back home, Emily tries to forget what happened, but a surprise visit from Kristen forces her to confront the events of that night.

As the walls close in on their cover-up, Emily asks herself: can she really trust her closest friend?

My initial thoughts were that this book was a bit “young” and silly..but as the book developed, the characters developed and it wound up being quite a good story...right up to the end

Surprisingly good

Such a good story, I couldn't put it down! I thought I had some parts of the story figured out but then another twist and more.. would definitely recommend!

Started a bit slow but once I got into it I could not stop listening. The writing is superb and I felt like I was there in all the places and emotions described. The story was great, and kept me guessing throughout. I loved it and the narration was very good, perfect actually. I’ve spent 6 hours of my Saturday listening to it to finish it! Might be my favourite audiobook of 2021 so far. This is a reese Witherspoon book club book which is why I chose it as she recommended on Instagram and I can totally see this being made into a tv show, it feels along the same lines as big little lies in its tone. Highly recommend!

So gripping!

Interesting concept.
As someone who travelled extensively as a 20-something, this book really appealed to me and I was gripped for the first hour or so of listening. However, there was endless repetition of key phrases and details, as if the author doubts the memory and retention skills of her audience. Probably ideal for listening to on a sun lounger. If you nod off tor twenty minutes you won’t miss much and you’ll be reminded over and over of the key plot points.

Interesting concept. Overlong.

The story started pretty strongly, lots of potential, but got more and more ridiculous as it went on. It was very wordy - which sounds like a silly complaint but it just went on and on. Taking 20 words to say what could have been related in 5. The narrator was very annoying, poor enunciation and difficult to listen to. Disappointing!

Far Fetched and Cloying

Wasn’t disappointed, so many more twists and turns than I was expecting and I couldn’t stop listening. Great book!

Generally a good concept, with some good twists and turns. Feel like the story runs 10 hours and then unfolds in an hour which felt a bit fast or too long, either or 😂
The language is unusual with some almost unbelievable metaphors and at times repetitive.
Generally an easy listen, good storyline and leaves you with questions in a satisfying way.

Is it too long or the ending too fast?
