About this listen

The million-copy bestselling Queen of Twists, Alice Feeney, returns with a gripping and deliciously dark thriller about marriage . . . and revenge.

Author Grady Green is having the worst best day of his life.

Grady calls his wife as she’s driving home to share some exciting news. He hears Abby slam on the brakes, get out of the car, then nothing. When he eventually finds her car by a cliff edge, the headlights are on, the driver door is open, her phone is still there . . . but his wife has disappeared.

A year later, Grady is still overcome with grief and desperate to know what happened to Abby. He can’t sleep, and he can’t write, so he travels to a tiny Scottish island to try to get his life back on track. Then he sees the impossible: a woman who looks exactly like his missing wife.

Wives think their husbands will change, but they don’t.
Husbands think their wives won’t change, but they do.

Got me hooked but rubbish ending

Clever story and i love the world and imagery it created. Loved the main character. It was thrilling and creepy without being overly offensive or shocking. Just slowly builds but was entertaining from the start. I wish it wasn’t over. Oh and the narrators were exceptional.

REALLY Enjoyable!

Love Feeneys story telling, however I wouldn’t bother reading if you have already read paper scissors rock. The same twists and story just slightly different.

Amazing but…
