The police say it was suicide. Anna says it was murder. They're both wrong.

One year ago, Caroline Johnson chose to end her life - a shocking suicide carefully played out to match that of her husband just months before. Their daughter, Anna, has struggled to come to terms with her parents' deaths ever since.

Now with a young baby herself, Anna feels her mother's presence keenly and is determined to find out what really happened. But as she looks for answers, someone is trying to stop her. By digging up the past, she'll set in motion something that can't be stopped and will soon discover that sometimes it's safer to let things lie....

The stunning, twisty new psychological thriller from number one best seller Clare Mackintosh, author of I Let You Go and I See You.

Critic reviews

"It's phenomenal, super-twisty and, incredibly, even better than I Let You Go and I See You." (Jill Mansell)
"Brilliant. Tense and surprising but heartbreaking and sensitively written.... I expect no less from Clare but she seems to get better with each novel." (Gillian McAllister)
"One word - wow! Compelling, twisty and wickedly good, I loved it!" (Alice Feeney)

Really good book, that keeps you guessing the whole way through. Well narrated also. Enjoyed the interview at the end. Highly recommend

Complexly excellent

As the headline states one story was excellent and that was the Murray and Sarah tale which wove around the rather far fetched story of the Johnsons.

The main story of the Johnsons suicides, their daughters inheritance, alcoholism, domestic abuse, patient and med staff relationship, lies, resentment etc was all a bit much.
When you stopped to think, which I fortunately did about half way through, I realised there were more potholes in the story than on many UK B roads, so it was an annoying and irritating ride by the end.
Clare Mackintosh pulls you into the intrigue with twist and turns, but you have to question the reality of some scenarios that are really quite preposterous.

The two narrators sounded too similar, which should have been addressed.

On a positive note the information and advice on suicide, the Samaritain and bereavement was excellent, and informative.

Two stories, one excellent and the other far fetched.

Pale imitation of I Let You Go. It tries to repeat the trick of flipping our assumptions but lacks finesse and credibility.
However the character study of the policeman and his wife was fascinating and touching - almost seemed to be written by someone else.

Read it for the policeman’s story

I wanted to know how this developed and was good but didn’t get me on the edge of my seat. Still worth a listen though as was ok

Good but not brilliant

Like her other books I couldn’t put this one down again. This author is so good at keeping the listener gripped.

Loved it!

I thought I had it sussed about the "partner in crime" but that one caught me completely off guard.
Fantastic book and narration. I'm going to download some more from Clare Mackintosh.
I loved the Q&A at the end of the book also. Clare answered one of MY questions that I would have asked so THANK YOU!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK.

Fantastic.

Such a cleverly constructed book that kept me guessing until the end. Great characters and twisty plot made it one of the best books I listened to in ages. Thank you Clare, inspirational.

Amazing!!

Really enjoyed the format of this book, great story. Listened to it in just two days as was hooked from the start! Highly recommended. Also listen all the way to the end as the interview with Clare is interesting.

Excellent listen

Brilliant plot. Relatable characters. amazing twists.

Just one thing, it's impossible to "commit suicide " anymore, as it's no longer illegal. One merely kills oneself.

I didn't see that coming!
