About this listen

BRAND NEW utterly heart-pounding thriller from BESTSELLING author Rona Halsall

For fans of Freida McFadden, Shari Lapena, and Lisa Jewell!

The smaller the town, the bigger the secrets…

When a young widow named Nia moves with her little boy to the picturesque village of Talysarn – with its beautiful landscape of lakes, woodlands and soaring mountains – she thinks it's the new start she's looking for.

At first, it seems perfect. Until a vicious rumour starts – that she's having an affair with an older man who lives nearby. And this gossip spreads like wildfire, eventually reaching the ears of his wife – the fierce head teacher at the local primary school.

And before Nia knows it, her dream of a new beginning has taken a terrible turn. She needs to find out who the gossip came from, before everything goes wrong. Because nobody can know why she really moved here.

It's true that everyone in this village has their secrets. Including Nia. And one person will kill to keep theirs…
