Publisher's Summary

One dark secret. One act of revenge.

When Emma Joseph met her husband, David, he was a man shattered by grief. His first wife had been killed outright when her car veered off the road. Just as tragically, their six-year-old daughter mysteriously vanished from the scene of the accident.

Now, six years later, Emma believes the painful years are behind them. She and David have built a new life together and have a beautiful baby son, Ollie.

Then a stranger walks into their lives, and their world tilts on its axis. Emma's life no longer feels secure. Does she know what really happened all those years ago? And why does she feel so frightened for herself and for her baby?

When a desperate Emma reaches out to her old friend, DCI Tom Douglas, for help, she puts all their lives in jeopardy. Before long, a web of deceit is revealed that shocks both Emma and Tom to the core.

disappointing, I bought as the reviews were good..

I'm not sure why I stuck with this one, actually I do I had nothing else to listen to ... I found it slow ... unimaginative and not fussed about trying another Rachel abbott book. try another thriller - this was boring

Disappointed

The previous book was sooooo good, how could this be by the same author? The plot was very unbelievable, I was willing to let that slide but the writing didn’t improve on it enough. My disbelief was no suspended for a second! I don’t understand all the high ratings, this book is mediocre at best and the narration was monotonous. Sorry, it’s barely a three from me.

More twists and turns than Great Ocean Road

Great build with excellent suspense. The Narrators approach was brilliant. Readers will not be disappointed.
