About this listen

SOON TO BE A MAJOR TV SERIES

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Good Sister and The Mother-in-Law with new novel Darling Girls out now.

"This is women's fiction at its finest" Liane Moriarty

In a moment of maternal despair Essie once made a terrible mistake, one she will always regret. Essie has since recovered, but she fears what may still lurk inside her.

Her neighbours in Pleasant Court have their own issues. Driven and organised, Ange has everything under control, except perhaps her husband. Practical, intellectual Fran can't stop running. For exercise, or something else?

Then one day, Isabelle arrives and appears to be very curious about her neighbours. Too curious, some might say.

It soon becomes clear that Isabelle's choice of neighbourhood was no accident . . .

This was an easy listen for my commute. The story had enough momentum to keep me I retested and I enjoyed the jump between a few different character plot lines.

A nice wholesome listen

I really enjoyed The Soulmate but I don't think I'll keep going with her older books. They seem to lack the flow, narrative and engaging storylines of the newer ones. This one in particular felt way too soap-like, and the 'good' relationships a little too cute.

Soapy
