Publisher's Summary

You think you can trust the ones you love most. But what if one secret could make you question everything? 

Every day, a woman like Louise passes you in the street: elegant, confident, determined. But underneath, she’s struggling. 

She doesn’t know her sister, Alice, has been scared of leaving the house since their mother died. She doesn’t know when Alice babysits her little boy, Archie, he sometimes sees things he shouldn’t. She doesn’t know Archie has a secret. 

A secret that could send cracks through the heart of Louise’s carefully constructed life....

Great story line

So many twists and turns and I loved it. Great character development. A book I thoroughly enjoyed listening to, and the narrator was great!

Love you KL Slater!!

I am a retired seventy year old school
teacher and love your work!! You are my favourite thriller/ suspense writer!
I have listened to all your audio books withIn a few days span!! Your storylines and characters are sooo amazing!! I can identify with most of your heroines and even with the tainted and not-so-good ones!! When I start listening to one of your audio books I CAN’T stop!! Each book I download is better than the previous!! I’m so addicted to your books!! I also enjoyed listening to your Audilble interview when you talked about your back story and your favourite books. It was an awesome interview!! You are so normal and so personable!!
Do you have more in the works?? I also think your narrator, Lucy Price-Lewis, is fantastic!! Her many character interpretations and voices are spot on!! Audible is so lucky to have you both on board!! I’ve been looking for other books you have written and for other thrillers Lucy Price- Lewis has narrated!! I’m so excited for your next book!!

Average book

I found it somewhat predictable and struggled to finish. I am not sure why it's getting such high reviews.

Enjoyable

It was a good read! Loved the narrator, she did a great job. Didn’t expect the twist.. wish it was a tad more suspenseful but that’s okay.

Still good:)

Disappointing

I was ready to give up on this book after a few chapters. Then I thought maybe it will get better. By chapter 13 there was still a whole lot of nothing. Just a lot of allusions to a lot of hidden events. Eventually the “facts and secrets”came out in a very convoluted way. But by that time it was much too late. I just wanted it to be over.

Good mystery

I thoroughly enjoyed this mystery by K. L. Slater and narrated by Lucy Price-Lewis. A fun, titillating romance; bonding with a troubled nephew; family relationships; and then a missing person. The twists and turns are surprising, but end just right.
