My best friend warned me that it was too soon to marry Edward, a widower with an adorable but troubled little boy. She said we were moving too fast. But all I could see was a kind, loving man, struggling with grief, who needed my help. Yet as storm clouds gather above our small wedding ceremony, my hopes and dreams fall apart. None of my husband’s family turns up to support us. Instead of a honeymoon, we have a quiet night in. My wedding bouquet is placed on his first wife’s grave. And then my new stepson tells me he’s sure his mother is still alive.

You’ve been excited about this getaway for months–at last, a chance to reconnect with your husband at a secluded island resort.

The beautiful waitress from the restaurant last night has been found lying dead in the sand. And the police want to question your husband about it. Sure, you saw him glance at her over dinner a few times, but you know he didn’t have anything to do with the poor girl’s death.

I listened to it as an audiobook and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I quite enjoyed how it goes back and forth from the past to the present. I did not pick the ending at all! Although you try and guess the plots and twists, the way it is written makes it too hard. A great read!

Wow.. This booked absolutely sucked..
For anyone looking to waste a credit, this would be the perfect book to do it on. Oh my goodness. There are no psychological twists and no shockers, and just plain obvious stupidity. I hated all of the characters and I just didn't care. I listened to the end, and after the last sentence of the book I thought 'What?? Seriously?? This is IT??"
I am going to try and get my credit back, although Audible is making it more difficult these days. I hated this book- every single part of it. It was like eating cardboard pizza- all filler and no taste.
Awful.

An ABSURD story!
While this started out strong and with promise, the story just broke down about half way through. Yes, there were many twists and turns here which did hold my interest for the first three quarters of the book, but the twists turned into increasingly ludicrous and unbelievable actions and goings-on. I mostly wanted to strangle the protagonist for being such a spineless idiot. The pleasant narration by Annette Chown kept this story from being a complete farce. This was my first book by Jess Ryder, so perhaps her stories are just not for me.

Nail biting out of boredom
I have not written very many reviews on books. However, I am very disappointed with this book. It got such high reviews, but it is beyond me why. I’ve listened to a multitude of books, mostly thrillers. Some good, some great, some leaving me aching to hurl my phone out the car window. There is nothing exciting nor thrilling about this story. It drones on and on, and I kept thinking...surely this will get better. It didn’t. Don’t waist your time.

Stumped at the reviews ...
First I'd like to say that anyone who writes and publishes a book/books is courageous ... writing and the publishing process is not for the faint of heart. This is only my opinion and obviously differs from most given but one I wished I read and listened to before spending time on this book.
This author's descriptive writing is what had me listen until the end but that's about all that kept me interested. The main character, Natasha, is a whiny, immature, needy young woman who made so many poor choices it was painful. Every character in this story is despicable--even the baby was unpleasant. I had this whole scenario figured out in the first couple of chapters ... this is a sophomoric version of a "nail-biting gripping psychological thriller" best left to adolescents but only if you want them to get a very dim view of men as vile and women as helpless empty-headed twits. The performance was actually well done given the character constraints. The Narrator did well portraying the melodramatic boorish Natasha and all of the other pitiful characters in this twisted tale.
If you're looking for a perverse predictable story without much character development but done with creative, descriptive writing this book is for you. If you're looking for solid character development and a real psychological thrill, look elsewhere.

Problems with the actor.
This is a good book and generally I enjoyed the work of the narrator, voice actor. There are two female characters J and N. Sometimes it was impossible to determine if the narrator was playing J or N?
No change of voice, if you missed the chapter heading you lost the plot. Was this J or was it N’s reflections and story? So this spoiled the book for me.
A great story, but the actor was not sufficiently skilled to give each female character a distinctive and different voice.

Good but marred by narrator
I struggled to like Natasha as the voice of the narrator made her sound whinging and despite plot developments I don’t feel her character grew flesh.
I rarely write full reviews but when this is billed as ‘a gripping psychological thriller ‘ I felt I needed to reset expectations.
It is good but not brilliant. Change of narrator would help but I didn’t find it a page turner.

The narration is driving me nuts
Just not enjoying this book. I found the narrators voice to be so irritating. Over pronouncing every word, emphasising every ‘t’ so so annoying, I even asked my husband if it was just me but the moment he heard her voice he said “yes very annoying”
I’m sure the narrator is lovely but her voice for this character ruined it for me.
Maybe I would have got more into the story if it were not for that. Had to give up on n this one in the end, could not keep going with that voice.

So insanely far fetched it didn’t make any sense
So the narration of this book didn’t actually bother me like some other people...HOWEVER THIS BOOK IS SO FAR FETCHED, that it borderline doesn’t make any sense. No one in this book behaves at all like anyone would in the real world which effectively renders the story non sensical and very irritating. You spend the whole book going ‘WHY WHY WOULD ANYONE DO THAT’. The biggest issue for me (and also the main plot point in the whole story) is that we are supposed to believe that this woman’s child and husband vanish into thin air and no one LITERALLY NO ONE does anything about it, not even the police. Regardless of where they’ve gone, at this point they are by all accounts missing people and yet the police do nothing. The main character mopes about missing her daughter (for a large chunk of the book) and yet does absolutely nothing to try and find her, apart from knocking on one door and then turning around as soon as the owner isn’t very forthcoming. THIS WOMANS CHILD HAS VANISHED and all she can do is be sad and polite to people. The book keeps describing how desperate she is but then she doesn’t actually do anything to make us feel the desperation. I normally finish audio books in a week and this one took me over a month and I had to listen to pod casts in between to stop being so irritated with the main character and story line. I borderline can’t believe any publishing house or anyone for that matter didn’t read this book before it came out and be like ‘nope sorry doesn’t make any sense we can’t publish this’

Not great... Narration sounded amateur and cheesy.
Not great... Narration sounded amateur and cheesy. Story was quite basic and cheesy itself, as a combination it wasn't good
