About this listen

On a warm spring evening, guests gather in a perfectly manicured garden to celebrate Maggie and Len’s twenty-fifth wedding anniversary. Maggie leans against the apple tree, watching her fun-loving husband and darling children as her heart swells with pride. As the joyful party atmosphere disappears into the night, close by, the lifeless body of a young woman is pulled from a river.

Slipping upstairs to find the special gift for her adoring husband, Maggie stumbles across something else hidden amongst the dusty boxes of family keepsakes...

A printed pink silky scarf that doesn’t belong to her. She holds it up to her face, breaths in the sweet sickly perfume, it’s scent familiar, and tendrils of fear snake through her body. The scarf is stained with blood.

As Maggie re-joins the party and tries to ignore her churning stomach, she pours herself a glass of champagne to toast the man she’s enjoyed decades of happy marriage with. Then she catches a news flash of the local girl’s murder. She stares at the girl with the beautiful face, long ice-blonde hair and, draped loosely around her neck, Maggie recognises it instantly. She’s wearing the scarf.

An utterly addictive and twisty story about the complex web of secrets within a family that will have you racing through to the mind-blowing end. If you love Lisa Jewell, Gillian Flynn and Behind Closed Doors, you won’t be able to put this down!

Brilliant, just Brilliant

This is the 6th book in the Dan Riley, and for me the best yet. You don’t need to have read the earlier books, but it does help, as detective Dan Rileys character has developed through the books.
I really enjoyed this gripping story, with its twists and turns and a few emotional parts too. All very believable and brilliantly narrated again.
I couldn’t stop listening and felt quite sad when it came to an end. Although pleased that everything had been neatly clarified. Definitely would make for great tv.
Just downloading the next book in the instalment.

A few good twists!

Enjoyed this Audible book. Something was happening throughout and there were no boring parts. The subject, however is not for the faint hearted.

Reasonable story but irritating narrator

Story is okay although Maggie and Len are supposed to be in their 50s. Seems more like the 1950s the way they act/speak!! Narration quite annoying at times.
