About this listen

A golden summer, and six talented teenagers are looking forward to the brightest of futures—until a daredevil game goes horribly wrong, leaving three strangers dead.

18-year-old Megan takes the blame for the crime, leaving her friends to get on with their lives. In return, they each agree to a 'favour', payable on her release from prison.

Twenty years later Megan is free.

It is payback time.

And her friends start disappearing, one by one . . .

Richard & Judy bestseller Sharon Bolton is back, with her twistiest thriller yet.

I really liked it. I think you should give it a listen because it has surprising situations that really makes you feel for the one friend who took the blame to protect all the others. It’s a “what would you do” if it happened to you situation.

This was a great listen. It’s a realistic situation that you never think will happen but could change your life.

The narrator is so incredibly bland it's hard to hear the story. I skipped a lot of chapters with the hope of finding something interesting enough to hook onto, to no avail. Do yourself a favour: listen to the sample and then move on. Because the sample is by far the best part of its 11+ hours.

Well that was a waste.
