    About this audiobook

    A gripping, debut psychological thriller that will keep you hooked. Perfect for fans of Paula Hawkins and S.J. Watson.

    Veronica Pullman's comfortable suburban life comes to a shuddering halt when her young daughter Grace tragically dies in a car accident. Months later, unable to come to terms with her daughter's death, detached from her husband and alienated from her friends and family, a chance encounter on a rainy street pushes her into an unlikely new friendship. Scarlet is everything Veronica could've been: feisty, adventurous, unpredictable. But as she approaches what would have been Grace's 10th birthday, it becomes clear to Veronica that the friendship she thought was saving her life could be costing her everything. Consumed by grief and left questioning her own sanity, is there anyone she can really trust or is someone out to torment her as part of their twisted game?

    “This novel is a beautifully written, if disturbing, exploration of how grief affects friendships, marriage and the main character's sense of self.” ANITA DAVISON, author of Flora's Secret

    • 4/5
      It’s an easy listen anout a sad subject. However it was very predictable
    • 5/5
      A lot of it felt very longwinded at times but it all comes together towards the end, and then I realised why there was so much thought and dialogue that sometimes seemed irrelevant. Loved the twist at the end. Did not see it coming.
    • 5/5
      I really enjoyed this book! Lots of laughs, and some heartbreaking moments. I figured out the plot twist ahead of time but only because I read a similar story before. Still it was an amazing story. I highly recommend this one. Very, very good book.
    • 5/5
      Absolutely love it when I have a book that is hard to put down, and this was one of them! A real twist at the end that I didn’t see coming at all.
    • 2/5
      I did not enjoy this book. The same thing dragged on for hours.
      I was curious at first but then i got exhausted and the ending was not worth the wait
      Waste of my time
