About this listen

***Now a Netflix Original movie, starring Leighton Meester, streaming globally.***

Miles from home. Trust no one. Suspect everyone.

Orla and Kate have been best friends forever. Together they’ve faced it all – be it Orla’s struggles as a new mother or Kate’s messy divorce. And whatever else happens in their lives, they can always look forward to their annual weekend away.

This year, they’re off to Lisbon: the perfect flat, the perfect view, the perfect itinerary. And what better way to kick things off in style than with the perfect night out?

But when Orla wakes up the next morning, Kate is gone. Brushed off by the police and with only a fuzzy memory of the night’s events, Orla is her friend’s only hope. As she frantically retraces their steps, Orla makes a series of shattering discoveries that threaten everything she holds dear. Because while Lisbon holds the secret of what happened that night, the truth may lie closer to home…

A twisty holiday read from the USA Today bestselling author.

The book was very good but the movie adapted on Netflix was horrid! I have no idea if the movie would have been okay if I hadn't read the book but if you read the book the movie disappoints. I rated the movie 2/10 and that might have been generous.

Great Book but AVOID The Movie

I saw a review on Goodreads that said the world could end while reading and they wouldn't notice. oh boy is that true. the twists and turns were incredible, characters were written so well it was like they were real! I normally get a good idea of who the suspect is about 2/3 the way through a novel and I had no idea with this one. I actually yelled at the end and frantically texted my friend that she *NEEDED* to read this book. All around, incredible.

The narrator was good except when reading Portugese characters. They all sounded Russian which was distracting.
