About this listen

I cast my eyes over the impressive meal I’ve cooked and the half-empty crystal wine glasses. As our guests smile graciously, I squeeze my husband’s shoulder. It’s vital I get his friends to like me. To believe this version of me. Because I’ll do anything to stop them learning the truth…

Ever since I met my handsome husband Dr Gabe Bonneville, I started playing the role of the perfect housewife. He works hard as a surgeon, so I look after our home, and throw elaborate dinner parties with champagne cocktails for his best friends Hugh and Anita. He’s my safe place and my chance to have the family I’ve always wanted.

I’ve managed to hide the mornings when I wake up and see a face in the shadows. I haven’t told Gabe the truth about the woman who raised me, or told him about the therapy I’ve been getting so my secrets stay hidden in the dark. I haven’t questioned his past so he doesn’t ask about mine. I see the way Anita looks at him sometimes, but I’ll never say a word.

Until the letter arrives at the front door. The beautiful, expensive card shakes in my hand as I read the neat black handwriting.

Someone knows I’m not just a housewife. And the lies I’ve told will be all that’s left when I disappear…

Very well narrated. The narrator makes or breaks an audible book. Good story and engaging right from the beginning.

Really good story

I am sad that the series is done and I've heard all 7 books now. I've come to look forward to his antics and backstories.

I love Dan Riley

I've just finished my third listen of this story. The narrator is very good and the story is good enough that I can listen to it over and over and not get bored.

Bonus points for being kid friendly too.

I love this story

Brilliant. Fascinating how the story is brought together and wrapped up! It was a bit predictable but that didn’t matter to me because I needed to know how and why! Loved the book and the performance!

Anna-Lou does it again!
