Summary
When I wake up, I know three things. My name is Emma. Someone tried to kill me. And I can't remember who.
When I blink, my eyelashes brush against scratchy cloth. My fingers twitch, numb and distant. In the distance, sirens wail. I'm in the hospital.
I should be safe here, but I know I'm not. The last thing I remember is running, seeing an arm raised to strike. Why would anyone want to kill me?
Desperately, I piece together my scattered memories. I'm standing with my husband on sugar-white sand, our rings glinting in the sunlight. I'll get better, and I'll go home to him, and he will protect me.
But when he visits, his new girlfriend is on his arm. He tells me we got divorced three years ago, and my world falls apart. What else have I forgotten?
The only way I can keep myself safe is to uncover the answers buried deep in my mind. But as I talk to my visitors listening to the gentle tones of the doctors and nurses, grateful for the care of my friends and family, I start to see the lies that contradict what I remember of my life.
They say it's just my broken memory. But I know the shocking truth: I can't trust a word anyone says.
From the no.1 bestselling author of The Surgeon, a completely gripping thriller that will have you glued and leave your jaw on the floor at each mind-blowing twist. Fans of Freida McFadden, Lisa Jewell and Shari Lapena won't be able to stop listening!

Who to trust?
I really enjoyed this book. Reading it and then with the audio book version, especially as I was able to pick up on what seemed normal to me but had greater meaning when you were in the know, definitely a book that needs a second reading of listening. The whole idea is scary but makes for a great story. When I was reading it, I guess if it had been the first time listening I would have felt the same that, I wished I was reading the paperback version so I could skip ahead and find out what happens, instead I had to stay up late into the night to finish. The story is a slow build, not knowing who to trust or what to believe but by the end of the book your heart is pounding as all is revealed. The story is mostly told by the main character with the use of flashbacks as she tries to recall her past, this works well as it is also mixed in with the stalkers point of view, giving you clues who is responsible. To be honest I was still weary of ...well everybody.
Everybody would love to be rich and famous but nobody stops to think about the downside of fame, with this book it certainly gives you cause to think again. I am a cozy mystery fan at heart but there are certain authors that can make me leave my comfort zone (every time) and this is another good example of why this author is one such author and why I can't wait for her next book of audio book to come out.
Emma a some what famous actress is attacked and wakes up to find herself trapped in a hospital bed. Unable to move or see, all she can do is try and piece together her memories, while she waits for the killer to finish the job. Which will come first?
I liked the narrator. She has a pleasant voice which she used to build up the tension and fear well, as well as providing some interesting accents.

Narration was awful
The narration was really difficult to listen to and sounded like a poor AI voice. I persevered as I’d been told it was a great story line. Narrator ruined it for me.

Narrator difficult to listen to
I never really leave reviews but feel that it’s important for the feedback. The narrator in this made it an incredibly difficult listen. It sounded like an AI generate narration. The way she says ‘to’ is so disjointed for example. I even got my partner to listen to check I wasn’t being too critical. They also agreed and was flabbergasted. The story was a bit ‘meh’. Leslie Wolfe is a favourite author for me, but I was just highly disappointed with this story and narration. I feed regretful that I wasted so many hours pursuing this.
