About this listen

"I can tell we’re going to be the best of friends...."

When Louisa Sullivan takes her little boy to his first playdate at a new friend’s house, she doesn’t realize life is about to change for her family. Because she’s about to meet Darcy Lane.

Darcy is a woman who has everything—a dream house, a powerful husband, and enviable wealth.

She’s the perfect wife.

The perfect friend.

The perfect liar.

From the top 10 best-selling author of The Secret Mother and The Child Next Door, this utterly gripping psychological thriller will have you up all night. If you loved Gone Girl, The Girl on the Train, and The Wife Between Us, this book is for you.

What a gripping intense read this was.

I had to lock myself away from any distractions so I could get through the crazy last couple of chapters .
Darcy Lane is the passive, aggressive glamorous toxic, “ Best Friend “ from hell.

Poor Louise, Jarrad, and Joe never saw her coming.

Darcy was definitely playing the long game.

Incredibly Intense Thriller
