Summary

Soon to be an ITV drama starring Aidan Turner.

Joseph O'Loughlin appears to have the perfect life—a beautiful wife, a loving daughter and a successful career as a clinical psychologist. But nothing can be taken for granted. Even the most flawless existence is only a loose thread away from unravelling. All it takes is a murdered girl, a troubled young patient and the biggest lie of his life. Caught in a complex web of deceit and haunted by images of the slain girl, he embarks upon a search that will take him from London to Liverpool and into the darkest recesses of the human mind....

Critic reviews

"Believable and authentic from the first sentence.... Robotham doesn't put a foot wrong in his plotting, pace or inventiveness." (The Australian)

"A truly classy thriller, beautifully crafted." (Australian Woman's Weekly)

Excellent plot

First foray into Robotham’s work was well worth it. Convoluted, intricate plot but easy to follow and very credible. Some procedural matters had mistakes ( time in detention can be extended by senior officer; caution is NOT and never has been ‘used in evidence against you’ but overall great and I’m straight into another!

Thoroughly enjoyed this book!

The narrator was really good, he made the story come alive. I look forward to listening to more novels by Michael Robotham - good to know this was the first in a series 🙂

Fantastic

Very clever story kept you guessing all the way through it. At times you would get frustrated with the situation and want to say stop running but over all I enjoyed this book. Would highly recommend it and look forward to listening to more books of Michael Robotham and Robert the Narrator did a fantastic job and brought you right into the book.

I love this series

But had somehow never listened to this one. Nice narrating by Robert. Sad I’ve now listened to all his books, they are so good I want more!
