About this listen

Pauly Johnson is a successful surgeon at a Melbourne hospital with a beautiful wife, a loving family and a memory he wishes he could erase.

One night, he takes a drive on a lonely road above a steep drop, determined to end it all, but before he can put his plan into action, a woman steps out of the darkness and into the path of his car. In an instant, her life is ended and his is saved.

Shattered by the experience, Pauly becomes obsessed with finding out who she was and why she wanted to kill herself. But he soon finds that the answers lie shockingly close to home....

Please note: contains references to suicide and listener discretion is advised.

I really enjoyed this. It was just a tiny, little bit unbelievable but I appreciated the complexity of characters and that the author really gave us something different. The narration was superb.

Fantastic story and narrator

easy to listen to.and suspenseful enough to enjoy. The Aussie accent was appropriate, and lent authenticity (says the kiwi grudgingly!)

Great twists

you will wonder whether anything ever happens in this book and yes indeed there is an interesting twist towards the end, overall though it’s a rather slow read and the author could have done better with the idea of a character surviving a suicide attempt and shown what drives to the decision and how it impacts the lives of all involved, there is an attempt at doing that but not a good one

slow but with a twist
