Summary

It's been 19 years since ten-year-old Laurel was given a life sentence and six-year-old Rosie was given a new identity. The sisters were the very picture of innocence: two little girls who loved to listen to their mother's bedtime stories and play make-believe in the garden. But then an act of unparalleled horror tears their family apart, leaving Laurel behind bars. Neither sister has laid eyes on the other since then, during which time their lives have followed very different paths. But now – with Laurel coming up for parole – they look set to be reunited in court, and the world will be watching …

Critic reviews

'Clever and twisty.' (Observer)
'A dark, disturbing and all-consuming mystery.' (The Sun)
'Tense, intriguing and memorable. I couldn't put it down.' (Sophie Hannah, author of The Carrier)
'Every bit as brilliant as I thought it would be. Twisty, sinister and heartbreaking. Such beautiful writing; so, so dark. Prepare to be fully disturbed.' (Cressida McLaughlin, author of The Staycation)

A very different book.

I was worrid about the subject if the book. It was a sad story really, I felt a bit deflated at the end. Well written though, I am an Emilea Fox fan & she read so well. A few long & posh words though.

A gripping storyline kept me wanting to listen 24/7!

Wow! Didn’t expect that ending! Absolutely brilliant and kept me guessing from beginning to end.
As a listener of crime and thriller audiobooks this will not disappoint one bit.
I adore Emilia Fox esp in her Tv role in Silent Witness.
The book was beautifully read and the different voices Emilia became were very realistic. I didn’t get bored listening to her voice and the book was extremely well written.

Good plot, irritating narration

A cleverly plotted tale, some characters more believable than others. I was sufficiently intrigued to persist despite Emilia Fox’s whiney narration. She was better when reading characters’ parts.

Good story

I liked it and it did keep me gripped but was left feeling it could have given just a little bit more at the end.

5 stars ⭐️

I really enjoyed this audio book. Other reviewers have said it was predictable, I disagree. I thought it was brilliant. Emilia Fox’s narration was outstanding.

A miserable story

I knew the ending quite near the beginning. Only kept listening to see if I was right. It was not uplifting in any way. Really depressing in fact.
