Publisher's Summary

What if your worst enemy discovered your darkest secret?

At 2:00 a.m. on the morning of her 40th birthday, Sophie wakes in the darkness of her bedroom and finds a stranger watching her from the foot of the bed.

The intruder hands Sophie a letter and issues an ultimatum: the message is to be opened at her forthcoming party, in front of family and friends, at exactly 8:00 p.m. Any failure to comply will not end well.

Sophie can think of only one person who hates her enough to have hired a professional to menace her like this: her fiancé's ex-wife. What can the letter possibly contain? And why must it be read in front of everyone she loves? This will be no ordinary 40th party.

Sophie is not the only person holding a secret about the evening ahead. When the clock strikes eight, the course of several people's lives will be altered forever.

What the critics say

"Julie Maisey's gripping narration is as compelling as Dawson's unusual mystery.... Hearing the sensational conclusion will rival any high-octane movie." ( AudioFile)

A decent read, but I would have opened the letter

Firstly, I really enjoyed the narration of this audio book. I am a sucker for an accent so I often will lean into any audio books with British, Aus, Irish etc narrators.

Next up the story. In the middle of the night Sophie wakes up to find a dangerous stranger in her bedroom. He delivers a threat, and a letter, to our main character. Instruction include reading it at her upcoming 40th birthday party the next evening.

The whole next day Sophie has to act normally while trying to uncover the mystery of who is threatening her, and why.

It was an enjoyable read, and I liked the dynamic between Sophie & her sister Alice especially. Although I couldn't root for Sophie much as a person, I was curious to get answers and finished this book within a few days.

Also if this book was written about me, it would have been short because I am too nosey and would have opened the letter right away.

Unbelievable

Believable only if you suspend all thought of normalcy and reason. Horrifying to think there may be people in the world who consider this type of control as romantic.

Good story, lacking finish

Enjoyed the story. Seemed to end suddenly without giving proper ending to all characters. Felt like it was unfinished.

Brit nailed it!

Love it! There were some periods where you weren't quite sure where it was heading or what the point was but even during those, the story was kept interestin. There was quite a few twists at the end and I have to be honest I think we wind up with a psychopath here. I definitely recommend this book Some British authors get a little bit too literary but this one is definitely mainstream and Dawson totally nailed this story.

Just OK

The story was suspenseful enough, but the main character was a nerotic wreck and ultimately the ending was about as satisfying as a rice cake.

twisty turny!

This audio book was excellent! suspenseful and mysterious. I wasn't crazy about the ending though... I am hoping it is a continuing saga...
