Summary

In this dark, psychological thriller, Georgia Maguire pushes listeners to explore the furthest limits of their moral codes. If the circumstances were bleak enough, what would you be willing to do to protect the ones you love?

The perfect marriage? Or the perfect lie?

Jack has looks and wealth; Grace has charm and elegance. You might not want to like them, but you do. You'd like to get to know Grace better. But it's difficult, because Jack and Grace are never apart.

Some might call this true love. Others might ask why Grace never answers the phone. And why there are bars on one of the bedroom windows.

Sometimes the perfect marriage is the perfect lie.

Critic reviews

"This book just has to be huge.... I flew through it in two breathless sittings. Quite simply: astounding." (S. J. I. Holliday, author of Black Wood)

Totally gripping

I mainly listen to thrillers around 4 times a month, and there's always a lag or a dip or parts I don't believe fully or don't engage with as much. However, this book has got to be one of the most interesting and gripping stories I've read. I was hooked from the first paragraph and I was gripped until the last word. Will definitely be following this author!

A dark & gripping story I couldn’t put down!

A dark story centring around mental abuse but very well written & read. I loved the way Millie and Grace outwitted Jack but perhaps a little predictable ending once Jack’s plans had been revealed. Never the less I was hooked until the end.
I wouldn’t recommend to anyone who has had negative experiences of mental abuse as you would find this too upsetting. However, for anyone who loves a story that switches from past & present, heightening the tension about what the ending could be would love this book.

Wow

Loved this book, so sad it ended! Really cleverly written, really pulls you into the story and uses some interesting angles which I haven't read before. The narrator is fantastic, really puts others to shame! I'm so picky nowadays when it comes to audio books that i'm now trying to find my next one and the bar has been set very high!

Absolutely loved it.

fantastic story.
very well written . A story that I didn't want to end.
I mostly enjoyed the anticipation of what might happen next.
Just shows that nobody knows what happens behind closed doors.
I would have loved a little more at the end or a second book.
One of the best books I've listened to for a while.

Best book I've listened to in a long while!

I highly recommend this book to anyone who loved gone girl or similar books. It's chilling and moving, and you won't be able to stop listening until you know how it ends.
