About this listen

The chilling new psychological thriller from the bestselling author of I Am Watching You.

On a train with her husband, miles from home and their four-year-old son, Ben, Sophie receives a chilling phone call. Two boys are in hospital after a tragic accident. One of them is Ben.

She thought she could trust Emma, her new friend, to look after her little boy. After all, Emma’s a kindred spirit—someone Sophie was sure she could bare her soul to, despite the village rumours. But Sophie can’t shake the feeling that she’s made an unforgivable mistake and now her whole family is in danger.

Because how well does she know Emma, really? Should she have trusted her at all?

Time is running out. Powerless to help her child, still hours from home, Sophie is about to discover the truth. And her life will never be the same.

GRIPPING

I love easy, brainless thrillers. But this was a struggle to get through. Awful, hysterical fever pitch narration. Predictable and ultimately boring plot. The main character was whiny, self-pitying, thick, annoying and made everything about her. Typically weak, one-dimensional male characters. The 'villain' was the only interesting character! Don't bother.

Kept hoping the protagonist would die...

I have been unable to finish this book. The main character is so overwhelmingly anxious and 100% irritating. l call such people "the worried well".
Check it out through your libraries rather than waste money buying it.

Fed up with Over Anxiety in the Main Characters.
