Publisher's Summary

The Christmas season offers little cheer for Eileen Dunlop, an unassuming yet disturbed young woman, trapped between her role as her alcoholic father's carer and her day job as a secretary at the prison.

When the charismatic Rebecca Saint John arrives as the new counsellor at the prison, Eileen is enchanted and unable to resist what appears to be a miraculously budding friendship.

In a Hitchcockian twist, her affection for Rebecca ultimately pulls her into complicity in a crime that surpasses her wildest imaginings.

What the critics say

"Fully lives up to the hype. A taut psychological thriller, rippled with comedy as black as a raven's wing, Eileen is effortlessly stylish and compelling." ( The Times)
"Excellent...a taut, well-written, and completely engrossing novel...culminating in a dynamite ending." ( Boston Globe)

Disappointing

I really tried hard to enjoy this Audible as it has so much potential. Unfortunately my mind kept wandering as I listened or else I fell asleep. Very disappointing:(

The narrator was great. The story was a build up nothing. It was a let down.

The narrator was great, the story was boring. There wasn't much of a reveal because the story starts at the end instead of the beginning.
