About this listen

A completely unputdownable psychological thriller with heart-stopping suspense

It’s the call every mother dreads.
You knew it was coming…

You are at work, on a hot summer afternoon, when the phone vibrates in your handbag. Your heart beats faster as you scrabble to find it because somehow, even before you answer it, you know. It’s the call every mother fears. It’s the call you’ve been waiting for.

Your daughter is in hospital. She was found this morning, confused and alone. She doesn’t remember anything. You wish you had never let her go away for the weekend. You can’t understand why her brother wasn’t watching over her like he promised, why he didn’t protect her.

You race to be with them, before it’s too late. But then the police find a body, deep in the woods, right next to where your children were staying.

You’ll do anything to keep them safe. But knowing what you know… do you need to protect your son, your daughter, or yourself?

A brilliantly gripping thriller about what can happen when you choose the wrong path. Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Gillian Flynn and Adele Parks.

Ever since The Housewarming, I have been addicted to SE Lynes’ books. I only wish I could read them at a slower pace, instead of binging and losing sleep. Like every other book, it was thrilling, and a bit close to reality for comfort - which only added to the story, while making me think about just how crazy our world has become…

Another brilliant read!
