Publisher's Summary

THE RICHARD & JUDY PICK

Everyone wanted her life
Someone wanted her dead

It was Hannah who found April’s body ten years ago.
It was Hannah who didn’t question what she saw that day.
Did her testimony put an innocent man in prison?

She needs to know the truth.

Even if it means questioning her own friends.
Even if it means putting her own life at risk.

Because if the killer wasn’t a stranger, it's someone she knows . . .

Critic Reviews

'An absolute belter. Could not put it down! I thought I knew who the killer was. Then I was CERTAIN it was another person! Then DEFINITELY another! Great characterisation, glamorous setting, all round FABALISS!' Marian Keyes

'A cracking read – and that ending!' Shari Lapena

'Every Ruth Ware novel is a unique and unexpected gem and this one is no exception. A heady, tense, slowburn dream of a book, multi-layered and steeped in atmosphere and peril. I loved every page' Lisa Jewell

I love Ruth ware but. .

I simply didn’t love this one, this really could just be me as Ruth ware is a wonderful writer. This wasn’t up my ally though and I felt it predictable.

Little bit long winded

I like Ruth ware and her books are great however this one just seemed to never end. It kept you guessing but I feel like it could’ve been finished up a bit better. Too much filler and not enough substance. Has the making of a good story though just didn’t play out well.

Ruth Ware’s best yet!

This book goes from slow-burn to whiplashing twists and turns. Loved it! Beautifully narrated but Imogen Church as always.

Easy listen

An easy listen. Probably a bit too long and a little repetitive. A good one for sitting by the pool.

IT Girl. Fantastic book with great narration

The book was great from the beginning. I love Ruth Ware’s novels and Imogen Church’s narration is an easy listen, bringing you into the story, mastering each character to bring them to life. Would love to see this as a movie.

A good listen but…

A little bit long and overly exaggerated in parts. Also quite predictable and the heroine too slow on the uptake.

Save your credit

I’ve really enjoyed all of Ruth Ware’s other books but this is the last one for me. The nervous Nelly main character and same narrator throughout is getting old. Listen on 1.5x, if you must.

Imogen church great; Recording quality horrible

I couldn't listen to this even though I love Ruth Ware and Imogen Church - the strange echoing quality of the audio was too awful

So much angst, so little time

I didn’t like the story, the main character nor the Audible narrator. The main protagonist Hannah was ghastly and the victim, April was a cliché of the poor little rich girl crossed with Mean Girls. This was the second and last Ruth Ware bookill read. Nor will I listen to anything narrated by Imogen Church.

So overwritten

This book is so overwritten it makes me want to scream. It’s a good story if it wasn’t so overwritten it would be much better. I had to jump ahead as it got so terribly tedious. Could have cut at least 3 hours.
