About this listen

“Electrifying and page-turning, John Marrs is not to be missed.”—#1 New York Times bestselling author Freida McFadden

"This is trademark John Marrs and then some."—Sunday Times bestselling author Andrea Mara

Three women. Three smouldering secrets. Who will make it out alive?

It’s 5 November, and a woman awakens to a nightmare. Bound and gagged, she lies trapped in the heart of a towering bonfire. As the smoke thickens, panic sets in–she’s moments away from being engulfed in flames. How did it come to this?

Rewind eleven months: Margot, a faded TV star, and her long-suffering friend Anna watch as glamorous Liv and her flawless family move into their street. The three women soon fabricate the perfect pretence of friendship, but each harbours her own deadly secret–and newcomer Liv senses something is terribly wrong beneath the polished exteriors.

As cracks widen in the veneer of perfection and lies escalate out of control, tension ignites. Bonfire Night is approaching and someone is set to burn…But who will it be?

What the critics say

“The most chilling opening I’ve ever read in any book—a superb start to a stellar thriller. This is trademark John Marrs and then some! Clever, twisty, dark, surprising, propulsive—an elevated thriller that readers will devour. I loved it.”—#1 Sunday Times bestselling author Andrea Mara

“Three deliciously devious women and a suburban setting alight with toxic secrets makes for an absolute scorcher of a read. Taut, smart, and breathlessly twisty—a surefire hit.”—Ellery Lloyd

Desperate Housewives on Crack

Multiple talented narrators bring out the best in this new John Marrs thriller. Their skills make twisty and propulsive listening that might not be present in its printed format. Marrs' trademark storytelling raises the level of willing suspension of disbelief required of his readers to new heights. This audiobook definitely kept me entertained, thanks to the mirror-smooth vocal stylings of three of my most favourite British narrators – Elizabeth Knowelden, Moira Quirk and Clare Corbett.

John Marrs did it again!

Wow!!! This one is now my favourite John Marrs novel. I loved his other work, but this one just blew me away. Just when you think you can’t get any more twists, they keep on coming.  Full cast of narrators that knocked it out of the park.  this one is a five star read !
