Summary

She made her bed. You’ll lie in it.

Rebecca only wanted to help out - to be kind. Richard seemed so alone after his wife, Nicole, died, and Rebecca wanted to make sure he knew he had someone on whom to rely.

But now, she’s in Nicole’s immaculate house. Drinking from her favourite crystal wine glass. Keeping shoes in her orderly closet. Comforting her sweet and grieving stepdaughter. It feels like Rebecca is living another woman’s life.

And as she gets to know the neighbours, Rebecca hears stories that make her wonder: Was free-spirited Nicole happy in this perfect life, or did she feel trapped? Did she feel, as Rebecca is beginning to, that something wasn’t quite right?

The story everyone’s talking about! If you loved The Girl on the Train, The Wife Between Us and The Girl Before, you’ll be totally gripped and unable to put down this twisty pause-resisting psychological thriller.

Good narrator

Good story that kept me wanting to listen. Worked out a major part of the story early on. Don’t think I’d choose this author again as there was a lot of swearing and graphic sex scenes.

Not the story you expect

I found this entirely predictable and the voice for Richard made my skin crawl which I don’t think was the intention.

Far fetched in terms of the story but I listened until the end to prove I was right in what I guessed at the start.

If you read any book this year.. Make it this one!

This book is absolutely brilliant!! Couldn't stop listening. Although I thought I'd guessed some of the premis, I. Was happily mistaken. The narrator had an excellent array of voices and the story was superb. Not one to miss!!!

A predictable story, lacking in any twists or turn

A predictable story. The narrators style irritated me, it was very off putting, very like Frank Spencer so took away the drama from the story.
