Publisher's Summary

No one even knew they were together. Now one of them is dead.

Fifty-six days ago

Ciara and Oliver meet in a supermarket queue in Dublin and start dating the same week COVID-19 reaches Irish shores.

Thirty-five days ago

When lockdown threatens to keep them apart, Oliver suggests they move in together. Ciara sees a unique opportunity for a relationship to flourish without the scrutiny of family and friends. Oliver sees a chance to hide who - and what - he really is.

Today

Detectives arrive at Oliver’s apartment to discover a decomposing body inside.

Can they determine what really happened, or has lockdown created an opportunity for someone to commit the perfect crime?

A good-enough story by a great author.

it was a slow burn for me, but the surprises were good. I don't know why I thought that reading a fiction novel that involved the current pandemic was a worthwhile thing to do 😄 3.5 stars

Great find!

I’d never heard of this author, but Audible was having a 2-for-1 sale, and I found this in the selections.
I’m now going to have to add Catherine Ryan Howard books to my “must read” list!
I love it when this happens! Can’t wait to dive into another.

Slow start but draws you in

I wasn’t sure that I would enjoy this book at first but the building of the story draws you. The narrator was excellent and the the story kept you guessing.

Great Pandemic Story…

Kind of a long listen… a little repetitive but a pleasure to listen to the narrator… nice little twist at the end…
