Summary

The chilling new psychological thriller from the bestselling author of I Am Watching You.

On a train with her husband, miles from home and their four-year-old son, Ben, Sophie receives a chilling phone call. Two boys are in hospital after a tragic accident. One of them is Ben.

She thought she could trust Emma, her new friend, to look after her little boy. After all, Emma’s a kindred spirit—someone Sophie was sure she could bare her soul to, despite the village rumours. But Sophie can’t shake the feeling that she’s made an unforgivable mistake and now her whole family is in danger.

Because how well does she know Emma, really? Should she have trusted her at all?

Time is running out. Powerless to help her child, still hours from home, Sophie is about to discover the truth. And her life will never be the same.

easy listening

this was a easy book to listen to, it didn't have me wanting to listen in one session, but did keep me interested. I didn't see the ending coming, which is always a bonus, but I did feel it was a bit rushed towards the end.

Every mothers nightmare

Chilling psycho thriller. Can a best friend really betray you in the worst way possible?

Not my favourite Teresa novel

The narrator wasn’t the best and I found myself disengaged at times.
The story was ok

Had potential....!!!

The story is potentially a really good one, however the jumping between times (before & now) & sometimes being from different characters perspective without being clear who's perspective it was made it quite difficult to follow in places (I think it took me twice as long to listen to as I kept having to rewind because I was confused!)
The narration was not great, quite rushed that again I struggled to follow in places but also the accents she did were absolutely awful! I couldn't tell if the police woman/PI were meant to be northern or Scottish!! I'm not fussy when it comes to narration, I can listen to most people without complaint as long as I can follow but I won't listen to this narrator again!
Otherwise fairly good story (from what I could understand!) & does all tie up well at the end though.

Great story but terrible accents

Not well read which is a shame as it is a great story with good twists.

Engaging read

Took this book on holiday. Good narration and well thought out characters. Excellent story. Would definitely recommend and will check out other novels by this author.

OK story....

...but narration was very rushed and I nearly gave up listening. Not sure I could listen to this person again.

By far a very poor narration

I do love Teresa Driscoll stories but the narration in this one was exhausting. Frantic all the was through and some really awful (unnecessary) accents. It didn’t spoil the story but dies let it down.
