About this listen

From the bestselling author of The Best of Friends comes a heart-stopping psychological thriller about the shades of truth and the power of lies in the wake of one mother’s unspeakable loss.

Therapist turned stay-at-home mom Jules Hart’s idyllic suburban life shatters when she crashes her car into an icy lake. Her son and another teenage boy plunge into the water with her, but Jules can only manage to save one—the wrong one.

Reeling from the death of her son, Jules spirals into a violent and unstable mental state. Ten months after the accident, she’s still trying to reckon with the fact that she rescued Isaac Greer, another woman’s child, when Isaac suddenly vanishes.

Jules finds herself at the center of a massive police investigation. While she harbors her own dangerous secrets, Jules is adamant that she didn’t take Isaac. But then who did? Is Isaac the victim of a dangerous killer who’s been targeting boys in the Midwest? Or is someone else pulling the strings in this deadly game?

What the critics say

“As usual, Berry tightens the screws smartly in the opening pages and never lets up, and as usual, her ending is more intent on deepening the nightmare than providing a plausible explanation for it. Warning: the title applies as much to the audience as to the characters.”Kirkus Reviews

“As the suspense mounts, the action drives to a harrowing conclusion. Berry delivers the goods.”Publishers Weekly

“A well-done mystery with a plausible yet surprising ending.”Library Journal

What wasn’t in this story?!

By the the time I finished listening, I found myself asking, “What drama *wasn’t* in this story?!” This story had so many twists and turns… just when you thought it would zig, it zagged and got even more unbelievable! Though at times I felt it was a bit cheesy, I couldn’t help but continue listening to see what would happen next. As for the narration, the narrator’s voice didn’t change significantly between characters which, I think, boils down to personal preference when listening to audiobooks but it was a bit confusing at times when the female characters all sounded alike, and the male characters all had the same low timbre and tone.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
