The instant New York Times bestseller from the author of Sometimes I Lie

‘Not just fiendish but positively Feeneyish – dark, ingenious and very clever’ Cara Hunter, author of Close to Home

Ten years of marriage.
Ten years of secrets.
An anniversary they’ll never forget.

Adam and Amelia are spending the weekend in the Scottish Highlands. The remote location is perfect for what they have planned.

But when their romantic trip takes a dark turn, they both start to wonder – can they trust the one they’re with?

Because every couple tells little white lies. Only for Adam and Amelia, the truth is far more dangerous.

I loved this story so much that I suffered through the annoying female voice narrator. Many times I wanted to stop listening because of… her MANY …. Pauses….. and formula like reading. Stop… before saying last word of…..sentence. The male voice was great

Great story

My journey started with this book as I’m not sure if this type of novels are my Cup of tea but I enjoy the previous book his and hers.
I like the way this story was written and the way story twisted the The audio was phenomenal you could easily tell that even the readers are enjoying the stories which makes it easy to listen to them the way they make the story as real as possible makes you travel with your imagination thanks for the experience and thanks for letting me join you in this amazing journey

What a journey

absolutely love this book, I took a little bit of time to get into it but when I was past the first chapter or so and was understanding what was happening I could not stop listening to him. What's a absolute roller coaster when you think you're gonna Zig then it absolutely zags and when you think it's going to sad it was ID all the way to the last sentence of this book I was engaged and on the edge of my suit would hundred percent recommend this one of the best books I have listened to in a very long.

Wow just wow

ok. I admit. this one took me a long time to finish. the beginning was a little boring so I started listening to something else. then I came back about chapter 4 and I pushed through to listen to it. the middle of the book got a little flat, too much small details and seemed to drag on. it felt as though the writer just added all these details to fill the book. but then. the end!!!!! the end was chilling, twisting and exactly what I like in a book. the whole way through, I thought I had it figured out but nope I was wrong. it's the type of ending you don't see coming. I loved the ending and would listen to it all over again, minus the middle part of the book. you will not be disappointed. the narrators were perfect and done an excellent job

what an ending

This is my third Alice Feeney book and unfortunately my least favourite so far. Whilst it was overall enjoyable and intriguing, it just didn’t wow me. The narration was a little bit wonky at times and needed to be sped up quite a lot for my liking, though I thought both narrators did a fairly good job. Despite not being my all time favourite book, rock paper scissors managed to keep my attention and had some genuinely chilling moments which gave me the heebie jeebies. And I’m not usually creeped out by thrillers. If you’re a fan of the author and the genre and can temper your expectations then I’d say it’s worth the credit. But if you’re looking to be blown away then maybe pick something else.

Not my favourite

The story kept ticking along, which was great, but a few strange holes in the plot were jarring. I have a form of facial blindness (I struggle to recognise people from their facial features), but it's amazing how well a hair style, clothes choices, voice, gait, and other idiosyncrasies help to identify people. Adam seemed to be a complete washout in this area, bending the truth just too much to be believable ("I have never seen my wife's face." I call absolute rubbish on that one - you learn to recognise the people that you see each day).

Other strange bits stuck out - such as the couple stating they were able to see the road clearly in the middle of a snow storm (by the light of the full moon because there were no street lights, so the story says - BUT THEY IN THE MIDDLE OF A FIERCE SNOW STORM), and the pair seemingly stupid enough to believe their dog had left the accommodation without their knowledge but had also managed to get outside via a locked door and also hadn't made any tracks in the very deep snow. The (plot pivotal) ageing author who was always wearing "his traditional tweed" probably deserved another description at some point too.

Aside from these niggles (they did unfortunately detract from the story instead of allowing it to flow seamlessly) the plot twists were good and the narrators were excellent.

Good for a Long Road Trip

Had no idea where this story was heading, the suspense gave me anxiety but I had to finish it. The final twist and all the pieces coming together is well worth it. A little slow to start, but a great book to get completely absorbed in.

Creepy suspense

This felt initially (first half) to be a comedy horror. I was going to give in but persevered. It got slightly better but still not one of my better audible choices.

Rather cliched, hammed up start

I really enjoyed this book, the story and narration were just excellent and I really struggled to turn it off. Really great book😃

An unexpected gem

Great story with compelling twists and turns. Very much enjoyed this one. You won't see the end coming.

Many many twists
