Summary

No good deed goes unpunished...

Elliott has never thought of himself as a hero. Until one dark night he meets Rebecca, a scared and vulnerable young woman who needs his help. There's a man harassing her, following her; would he mind pretending to be her boyfriend, just while she walks home, to put him off?

And that is that - just a favour for a stranger - until there is a knock at Elliott's door. It's the man who was following Rebecca. He claims he's her ex-boyfriend, but it's clear that he's been stalking her. He's obsessed, dangerously so. He wants Rebecca, and he will do anything to have her.

When Elliott eventually tries to tell him the truth, the man doesn't believe him. The only way to save himself is to get Rebecca to explain. There's just one problem: Rebecca is nowhere to be found. And now it looks like one good deed will cost Elliott everything...

A must-listen for fans of Adrian McKinty, Steve Cavanagh and Alex North, this is a gripping story from 'the King of One More Chapter' (Joanna Cannon).

The narrator was excellent,

This had me laughing out loud, to begin with, but to be honest, there was no substance to the story, it was outlandish, and unbelievable. really quite ridiculous!

Don’t waste your credit

This book was awful it started off promising .
The story line was weak and I really did not like any of the characters hero’s or villains. The main character was a whiny spineless character and the mysterious woman really boring. I kept thinking that maybe the main character had multiple personalities, but alas it was not to be. The narrator was ok
Hours of my time wasted along with my credit

Not great. Gave up

Unfortunately a waste of a credit. The main character seemed really unbelievably easily manipulated and the person doing the so-called manipulating just seemed very clichéd (manipulatiive beautiful woman.) Gave up and didn't finish. The narrator was good though.

Did not deliver

A promising start which piqued listeners interest. Quickly dwindled into drawn out repetitive yarn, predictable and violent at times. >>> BORING. Stuck with it in the hope it would go somewhere. Nope. Would have been better as a novella maybe.
