About this listen

On a warm spring evening, guests gather in a perfectly manicured garden to celebrate Maggie and Len’s twenty-fifth wedding anniversary. Maggie leans against the apple tree, watching her fun-loving husband and darling children as her heart swells with pride. As the joyful party atmosphere disappears into the night, close by, the lifeless body of a young woman is pulled from a river.

Slipping upstairs to find the special gift for her adoring husband, Maggie stumbles across something else hidden amongst the dusty boxes of family keepsakes...

A printed pink silky scarf that doesn’t belong to her. She holds it up to her face, breaths in the sweet sickly perfume, it’s scent familiar, and tendrils of fear snake through her body. The scarf is stained with blood.

As Maggie re-joins the party and tries to ignore her churning stomach, she pours herself a glass of champagne to toast the man she’s enjoyed decades of happy marriage with. Then she catches a news flash of the local girl’s murder. She stares at the girl with the beautiful face, long ice-blonde hair and, draped loosely around her neck, Maggie recognises it instantly. She’s wearing the scarf.

An utterly addictive and twisty story about the complex web of secrets within a family that will have you racing through to the mind-blowing end. If you love Lisa Jewell, Gillian Flynn and Behind Closed Doors, you won’t be able to put this down!

I have absolutely loved all of the Detective Dan Riley stories. Awesomely written and superbly narrated; the perfect combination, I really hope they continue with this partnership and series. I have been captivated by all of them from the very beginning.

Another great story by Anna Lou

Entertaining, non stop guessing who did it! James at times was cringeworthy and at other times so real.

Great story, engaging from the start.

Even though I picked who did it early on, I still enjoyed this book immensely. I like the style of telling the same story from two points of view. I am now moving on to the next one

This is not normally a book I would have enjoyed. The characters not particularly appealing initially. However it got me in . I couldn’t wait for the next day so I could keep listening. Slightly predictable but still a great story that touched me and allowed the themes to pe state my thinking personally. It was a blend of fiction and reality that enhanced the story and gives me hope for human infallibility’ and a future beyond traumatic events

The story was a winner
