Summary

**BRINGING DANGER CLOSE TO HOME . . . THE GRIPPING NEW THRILLER FROM BESTSELLING AUTHOR NICCI FRENCH**

A good deed

Can turn deadly…

When Liam unexpectedly turns up in Jude’s life after ten years of no contact, asking her for a favour, she just can’t say no. He was her first love, and even though she is now a successful doctor and about to get married, he will always be someone special to her.

But after she does the favour, she is contacted by the police, informing her that Liam has been found dead, and suddenly she is caught up in a murder investigation.

And she realises this one decision could cost her everything—even her life…

Not the best Nicci French

This book is not one of the best Nicci French books that I have read. The narration was very strange & a bit ‘over the top’ in places. I found the story very long & drawn out. I think this book would be much better with different narrator or even actually read instead of listened to.

Odd narration

I liked the storyline and it kept me interested. However I’ve listened to another book narrated by this person before and find them to have odd inflections and intonations that make it sound weird. It almost sounds like a warning when she says some things, and with others it’s like she’s listing things or sounds dramatically fed up. It’s hard to explain, it’s just odd. It didn’t ruin my enjoyment too much but it wasn’t really how people would really speak naturally.

Good story

The narration was so annoying every character sounded bored or irritated - if the story hadn’t have been so good I’d never have finished it

Disappointing

I usually enjoy Nicci French novels so I was happy to see a new title available.
Unfortunately this is not up to the usual standard and I returned before finishing.
I found the narration rather odd and jarring so this contributed to my decision to return.
overall very disappointing!

Disappointing and poor narration

I have always enjoyed Nicci French books but this was not the best. The irritating narration made it hard work. I stuck with it to find out the ending but it was disappointing.

Slow start but picked up

I struggled with the story at first and kept thinking I would return it . I’m glad I didn’t . I ended up really enjoying it . Listened or read all the Nicci French books and loved every one so that’s what kept me listening, so pleased I did continue with it.

Overly dramatic narrator

Slow storyline made even more arduous to listen to through the poor choice or narrator
