About this listen

My son and his girlfriend stand there, two terrified teenagers shivering in the doorway, and say the unthinkable. ‘I think we killed someone.’ Now, I have to decide exactly what kind of mother I am…

Everything changes in a heartbeat the night Conor and his girlfriend Paris Levinson come to us begging for help, their clothes spattered with blood. They say it was an accident, that they were in the wrong place at the wrong time…

A mother’s intuition is never wrong, and I know there is more they aren’t telling us. But Paris’ mother Helen and I have to make a choice that will change all of our lives. Do we tell the truth, and risk losing our children forever? Or do we lie to keep them safe?

We will do anything to protect our children, but one wrong move could cost us everything. Lying to the police was a risk, and now Helen is acting more unpredictable by the day – turning up at my house unannounced, harassing my husband, telling lies about my past…

The only way to save my family is to uncover the truth about that night. I’m convinced the answers lie hidden inside the Levinsons’ house. I’d do anything for Conor, but am I prepared for what I might find behind locked doors? But when your son is in danger, you find out what kind of mother you are…

Outstanding

I waited patiently for a year to read the next book in this series and it was so worth the wait. I loved the story line and issues addressed and the lessons drawn. The performance was also wonderful, I immediately recognised the same voices from book 6. Looking forward to the next book.

Loved it!

Just a good mystery. it held my attention until the end. I prefer narration in a British accent for some reason. I love all stories told in a British accent.

Love to root for the good guys

Very different characters made this book stand out. The author has a way of making them likeable and sympathetic even with their very human flaws. The plot was well crafted around the characters and even the signature detective was woven in not overshadowing the rest. His subplot was subtle and meaningful. My favourite Dan Riley boot yet.

I love the Dan Riley Series

I was pleased to see that there was another book to add to the series.

Always a great story and narration.

If you haven't read any of these books, start with Book 1. So good.

Added plus! This was Membership Plus Book. That's how I originally started listening to the series.

A genuine binge listen!

This book is very well laid out and quickly hooks the listener. I found myself wanting to return to the story whenever I had to quit listening. Then came the final binge to finish because I didn’t want to go another minute without knowing the outcome. A great listen!

Loved the way the plot was.

Interesting twists. I did not find the narrator to be able to change voices, they were hard to distinguish between man and the women. it ruined the story not knowing who was talking 😒
