About this listen

 ‘Pure adrenaline: I swallowed this book whole’ ERIN KELLY, author of top ten bestseller He Said/She Said
‘A stunning debut … Superbly written, clever and engrossing’ B A PARIS, author of Behind Closed Doors
The perfect couple commit the perfect crime in this New York Times bestselling thriller, a Reese Witherspoon Book Club pick!

This unabridged audio version is read by the author, Catherine Steadman.

Erin is a documentary filmmaker on the brink of a professional breakthrough; Mark a handsome investment banker with a bright future. They seem to have it all, until Mark loses his job and cracks start to appear in their perfect life.

But they’re determined to make it work. They book their dream honeymoon and trust that things will work out – after all, they have each other.

On the tropical island of Bora Bora Mark takes Erin scuba diving. Mark is with her – she knows he’ll keep her safe. Everything will be fine. Until they find something in the water.

Erin and Mark decide to keep their discovery a secret -- after all, if no one else knows, who would be hurt? Their decision will trigger a devastating chain of events... which will endanger everything they hold dear.
