About this listen

Andy Boyd thinks he is the luckiest man alive. Widowed with a young child after his wife dies in childbirth, he is certain that he will never again experience true love. Then he meets Anna. Feisty, fun and beautiful, she's his perfect match.... And she loves his son, too.

When Andy ends up in the hospital on his wedding night, he receives his first clue that Anna is not all that she seems. He ignores it; a dangerous mistake that could cost him everything. A brave, deeply moving psychological thriller which marks a stunning departure for one of Scotland's top crime writers.

This book affected me on several levels. The storyline is very troubling and I identified with the mental and psychic abuse inflicted on the protagonist that I experienced during two marriages. I enjoyed listening to the Scottish accents and vernacular having grown up in Scotland and having spent my first honeymoon in Ayr. The parallels between this man’s no win situation at mine with respect to children brought back so many memories. The book was utterly captivating and captured the situation in which this man was entangled, the confusion between love and fear and trepidation and the shame of being violently abused at the hands of ones spouse. The narrator did a fine job. I will look for more fiction by Mr Malone and especially with Mr Cree as narrator.
