About this listen

A shadow follows Sophie. Watching. Waiting.

Her instinct tells her that it's someone she knows. But who? The man she met Internet dating? The nurse caring for her ill mother? Or is her mother faking her illness?

The only thing she knows is that she can't trust anyone. Sophie must delve into a dark history to reveal her stalker. But there are some stories that should never be told.

Critic Reviews

"So many interesting characters that I ended up suspecting them all, but then the story twists and you're like... what?! Loved it." (Shalini Boland, author of The Girl from the Sea)

I did not really enjoy the subject matter of the story which I thought was a bit grungy and thought the whole thing was improbable but the performance was outstanding

A great performance of a second rate book

I found the beginning to be a bit hard to keep my attention on and I’m unsure if it was the way the narrator spoke that made it slightly annoying to listen to or not and I found that I must have drifted off without knowing or it was just white noise to me for a while because when it started getting interesting I then started asking myself “hang on a minute, how did she stop being friends with such n such” and then I’d go back about 5 or 6 chapters and relistened to it.
Eventually I didn’t mind the read but it was a free read this month so I’m kinda glad I didn’t pay for it. Apologies to the author but it is mainly about the way or the tone of the narrator that made it hard to keep interested for me.
Thanks

Great concept for a story - gosh I hated the mother through the story - selfish woman right to the end - the first half of the book made me so annoyed - but once the twin was discovered I just wanted to know how it ended xx

I'm not sure if it is just my take or not hut it feels a little rushed and unfinished like there were details that could have been shared and weren't.

I was able to figure out very quickly whom the shadow was and what was going on it felt very predictable.

I was left a little disappointed.

I normally really love Sarah A. Denzil's books.

Left me intrigued until the end! Looking for another book by the same author. Highly recommended.

Interesting how her mother with early onset dementia is so nasty and hateful to Sophie even when she is having lucid moments. Is someone entering the house or is Sophie going mad. I didn't twig to the answer before it was revealed.

One of the best listens for me this year. I was enthralled from start to finish and couldn’t stop listening. What a great story! The voice reader was amazing and just added so much enjoyment as well. Thank you!

Absolutely Brilliant!

The story was good with lots of intrigue. The end left me a bit deflated. More details would have been good.

Ending is a letdown
