Publisher's Summary

The sensational new psychological thriller from the internationally best-selling author of The Girl Before.

Claire Wright likes to play other people. 

A British drama student, in New York without a green card, Claire takes the only job she can get: working for a firm of divorce lawyers, posing as an easy pick-up in hotel bars to entrap straying husbands. 

When one of her targets becomes the subject of a murder investigation, the police ask Claire to use her acting skills to help lure their suspect into a confession. But right from the start, she has doubts about the part she's being asked to play. Is Patrick Fogler really a killer.... Or the only decent husband she's ever met? And is there more to this set-up than she's being told?

And that's when Claire realises she's playing the deadliest role of her life....

Variation on a theme with literary twist

An interesting follow up to the ‘Girl Before’ and in a similar genre with parallel male-female roles. A good read for those that like stories rather than literary challenges. Ideally suited to film and TV adaptations. This one reads on part like a radio play. All in all very enjoyable and relaxing. Narration quite good with a few twists to keep you guessing. As for Beaudelaire, well now that sounds more challenging!!

tried a bit too hard

I enjoyed the first half quite a bit but felt the author tried too hard to surprise the audience. sometimes less is more. quite well performed.

Ok but not his best

Story and scene setting were very interesting from the start but towards the end was a bit too fantastical and felt forced. Brilliant narrating.

Confusing with too much subjective violence

I nearly gave up many times finding it too gruesome sometimes. I sort of guessed the ending but not it’s full implications and am still guessing at the truth

great

I'm looking forward to re- reading this one, i think its the kind of book that will take you on two different adventures the first & second time around. I found myself getting too confused towards the end, but the author ties up just enough lose ends to make it "click" without spelling it all out.
the narrator was mostly great but made some rookie accent mistakes, the American pronounciation of "Stella" for instance kept breaking the illusion for me. but the emotive performance was great, i know understand are very hard

Another hit for JP Delaney

This book keeps you thinking the whole way through. When you think you have solved it a new twist. Well written. Would definitely recommend.

Suspenseful right to the end - fantastic read!

Some parts of the book at a little far fetched, but I do love a good conspiracy!

Great read - the audio & the narrator were great- making this fab to listen to
