About this listen

The much-anticipated gripping thriller from the bestselling author of The Girl Before—pre-order now!

The child you never knew

knows all your secrets....

Out of the blue, Susie Jones is contacted on social media by Anna, the girl she gave up for adoption fifteen years ago.

But when they meet, Anna's home life sounds distinctly strange to Susie and her husband Gabe. And when Anna's adoptive parents seem to overreact to the fact she contacted them at all, Susie becomes convinced that Anna needs her help.

But is Anna's own behaviour simply what you'd expect from someone recovering from a traumatic childhood? Or are there other secrets at play here - secrets Susie has also been hiding for the last 15 years?

This story had a lot of promise but honestly I just found the characters draining. The more poor decisions Gabe and Suzie made the more frustrated I got. There wasn’t a huge twist either which was a disappointment. Overall, a very easy listen but falls a little flat.

Great performances. Multiple narrators can often work against the listening experience, but in this case it worked well.
Not a fan of the story - a bit preachy in parts and I didn’t warm to the characters - and perhaps my expectations were raised by the other books I’ve greatly enjoyed by the same author. The Perfect Wife was truly masterful and The Girl Before was excellent. Read those instead

Not his best work
