Publisher's Summary

Five years rebuilding your life. Five words will destroy it again.

Mia Hamilton lived the perfect life with her husband, university teacher Zach, and their two-year-old daughter. But everything changed when Zach committed suicide on the same night one of his students vanished.

Five years later, just when Mia is beginning to heal, stranger Alison walks into her life, saying her husband didn't kill himself. Fragile, slight Alison leads Mia on a path into Zach's past, and Mia begins to think she never really knew her own husband.

As the secrets revealed get darker, Alison becomes harder to read, and Mia starts to wonder - why is Alison so keen to help? And then a piece of the puzzle appears in an impossible place, and Mia has to ask, is she losing her mind, or should she be afraid for her life?

An absolutely enthralling psychological thriller about obsession and buried secrets, with a brilliant twist. Fans of The Girl on the Train, Behind Closed Doors and Gone Girl will be hooked.

It was okay

There isn't really an ending. The story cuts out before we know what happens which I don't enjoy in a novel. I didn't get as into the story as most other audiobooks.

Gripping Story

I was drawn into this story and all of its twists and turns and couldn't wait for my next 'listen'. Although there were a couple of times where I really had to suspend disbelief in the narrative, it nonetheless hung together and led to an unexpected jolt of an ending.

Great story with twist at the end

Awesome story my wife and I listened to on a road trip. Enjoyed it so much that we reached the end of our trip, but sat in the car to listen to the end. Phenomenal story built with a real twist at the end.

Kept me guessing

Absolutely amazing! Kept me guessing until the very end. This is my first Kathryn Croft novel but it will not be the last.

Sometimes you feel like a nut...

I enjoyed this book. I love it when I can't figure out who the bad guy is, and this one did not disappoint.

Suspenseful but frustrating

Silent Lies, the well-written saga of a woman trying to heal after the death of her husband, has, from the very first words, an aura of suspense and underlying sadness. We get to know the protagonist slowly, and with misleading simplicity. I quite enjoyed the drawn out suspense.... and the unexpected results as new clues are discovered. #Audible1

It was good but not great

I finished the book but was a little disappointed in the ending. It did keep me listening till the end though. #audible1
