"You don't think Jamie and I have secrets, do you? No, we tell each other everything", she smiled. "Including your dirty little secret. So, thinking about it, maybe it's time to start being nice to me?"

The wife: Clare is ready for a break. It's been a tough year and now she wants to put her feet up. Arriving at the Italian villa for their summer holiday, she decides it's high time her husband and his family did some of the work. After all, her husband owes her....

The husband: Even though Dan had his head turned by someone else, he's realised the error of his ways. He's here now, and he says it's for keeps. Clare can trust him, can't she? At least he'll have his brother there, to keep him in line....

The brother: Jamie is the prodigal child, back in the family fold again, after years of travelling abroad. But when he gets to the villa, he's not alone. He's brought a wife, someone none of them have met before.

The sister-in-law: Ella is everything Clare isn't. Glamorous. Young. Influential. But she knows a secret about Clare. Something that has the power to break the whole family apart.

And there's someone who will do whatever it takes to make sure that this deep secret never comes to the surface.

An utterly gripping, twisty psychological thriller perfect for fans of Before I Go to Sleep, The Girl on the Train, and Date Night.

"Tense, atmospheric psychological thriller with more twists and turns than a rollercoaster. Impeccably written and a big fat 5 stars from me. Awesome!" (Number one best-selling author Angela Marsons)

Definitely compelling though most of the characters seemed implausible. They were either deaf or dense, not to pick up on all Ella's insults of Claire. Took away from it.

Characters seemed deaf

Much of the book is about a jealous relationship between two women. Lots of snarky remarks, petty disagreements, insecurities, etc. There are some interesting twists and turns, but not enough to make it a great read.

A little tedious...

I enjoyed this book, although I almost quit listening because of the voice of the person reading. it didn't suit the story, I felt like my 94 year old great grandmother was reading to me. good thing the story was gripping, as otherwise I would have quit listening.

pretty good!

The narration was horrible. Struggled to listen all the way through. Hated every time she spoke in a child like voice.

Loved the story

This was really an excellent story. I've listened to it twice in a row and that is very rare for me. there are some unexpected twists and turns almost to the last breath. there were some slow bits, but I felt that the actors way of reading them gave them a little bit more dynamism than they would have had on the page

a ripping good story
