About this listen

Desperate Mary Grace Winters knew the only way to save herself and her child from her abusive husband was to stage their deaths. Now all that remains of her former life is at the bottom of a lake.

As Caroline Stewart, Mary Grace has almost forgotten the nightmare she left behind nine years ago. Slowly she has learned to believe that her new life, and new identity, is here to stay. Then her husband uncovers her hidden trail. Step by step he's closing in on her and everyone she loves. Now Caroline must decide whether to flee again or whether the time has come to stay and fight....

This is the first book I have read by Karen Rose and really enjoyed the story well written about domestic abuse and especially when the abuser is a police officer. How brave are the people who have the courage to escape. Jeff Harding never disappoints when narrating. All in all a good read.

First

I didn’t expect this book to be as good as it was based on my first impression of the front cover but I was pleasantly surprised. The narrator was very good except for imitating female voices which could be expected.

Quite good

Great storyline and very emotional. It’s difficult to appreciate it with the male voice over who is clearly an older gentleman but I loved it anyway.

Emotional story

I found the narration of this book very offputting but persevered because the storyline was interesting.

Narration was not a good listen...

Unfortunately the narrator ruined the story for me, especially when reading woman’s voices. The story on the whole wasn’t too bad but failed to engage me mainly due to the narrative.

Narrator ruined it

This is one of those books that I could not stop listening to, a real page turner. The only negative was the falsetto voice used by the male narrator. Recommended for suspenseful listening.

Audible page turner.

Don’t waste your credit, couldn’t even finish very disappointed I couldn’t return after first chapter.

Garbage

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
I like the fact that the author is one of the few writers who has taken on the task of telling the story of violence against women in the home. However, the characters in this novel are stereotypes and their dialogue cliched. But I thank the author for courageously shining a light on one of the most common sorts of assault in the world - the one in our homes.

Shallow characterisation and cliched dialogue
