Publisher's Summary

My little boy’s room was empty, his bed neatly made. Alarm bells should have rung immediately. Then the knock on the door came. All I remember is a thick fog wrapping itself tightly around me. This couldn’t be happening to us.

Three years ago, nurse Zoe's son Ethan was found drowned in a muddy river by their home, along with his best friend, Josh. With no witnesses, their deaths were ruled a tragic accident. 

Heartbroken, Zoe and her family move away from her home. They’re just beginning to get back to some kind of normality when, out of the blue, Zoe receives an anonymous email: "You need to find out the truth about what happened to your son. Don’t let this rest. Don’t believe the lie."

Shaken, Zoe starts an obsessive hunt for the truth. But why is her husband so reluctant to help? And why is Josh’s mother so determined not to believe her?

It was alright.

I didn't love this book or hate it. There wasn't anything fundamentally wrong with it. It just didn't keep me engaged and even now until I read the synopsis I can't remember what it was even about.

great

I must say it was great from beginning to end.
WHO you may figure it could be, is not them at all, how all the secrets through the book, come together at the end to make it more enjoyable

Intense, captivating, emotional and you just can’t stop listening...

I could not stop listening to this story. The ending was not what I expected but it was closure for everyone and even the reader. I strongly recommend this read!! Great job by the author and narrators.

Too many side stories.

Great narratives and main story was good but there were too many unnecessary side plots.

Don’t waste your time or money on this one.

One of the worst books I have listened too in a long time. First, don’t be deceived by the cover. The girl in a red dress with an umbrella has absolutely no relation to the book. The characters are not well developed and the plot is weak. I normally don’t write reviews but I was so disappointed that audible sponsored something as bad as this.
