‘The final double twist is well worth waiting for’ My Weekly

‘Hooks you in to the drama straight away' The Sun

Every marriage has its secrets…

Beth and Tom Hardcastle are the envy of their neighbourhood – they have the perfect marriage, the perfect house, the perfect family.

When the police knock on their door one evening, Beth panics. Tom should be back from work by now – what if he’s crashed his car? She fears the worst.

But the worst is beyond imagining.

As the interrogation begins, Beth will find herself questioning everything she believed about her husband.

They’re saying he’s a monster. And they’re saying she knew.

Not bad

I was quite hooked to this and I do bore easy! I wanted to hear the whole story - but the narration wasn’t right which did ruin it. I didn’t quite believe the female lead as it was read and think it would have been a better read than listen. But I enjoyed the story - if somewhat predictable it was an easy listen and still kept me guessing about some bits. Easy summer read - but forgettable.

Uneventful

Quite liked this book although it was uneventful and a little boring. Easy enough to listen too

Narration wrong

Felt like the narration was very childlike, it did not match the story, I couldn't take it seriously, odd choice, quite liked the book. The most awful grating Scottish accent. Shame.

Good story but annoying narration

A couple of the narrators were fab but unfortunately the main one was very poor. Accents were awful and all the characters sounded the same.
I enjoyed the story and would definitely recommend the book!

It’s was ok

I really thought I was going to love this book I kept thinking it would be a Lisa Jewell, k l slater, Anna-Lou weatherly style but unfortunately not. It was just ok to me, very slow burner, you kind of know the whole plot from the beginning but it’s like it takes an age to give any excitement from it. There’s no oumpft moments, no big omg or twists that get you. Sorry but it was kind of boring, took me 3 days to get through it

Almost But Not Quite!

It was an enjoyable book but the writing could have been better in terms of conversation and content. Also the main female narrator sounded too much like she was just reading the words off the page for the first time rather than bringing them alive..

Good page Turner

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Kept me listening constantly, told from killer’s, wife’s and victims’ point of view, was absorbing with a twist towards the end.
