About this listen

2023 SOVAS Award Finalist for Audiobook Narration—Thrillers, Best Voiceover

A cunning, twisty, and unsettling novel of psychological suspense with a startling conclusion by Loreth Anne White, the Amazon Charts and Washington Post bestselling author of The Patient’s Secret.

Kit Darling is a maid with a snooping problem. She’s the “invisible girl,” compelled to poke into her wealthy clients’ closely guarded lives. It’s a harmless hobby until Kit sees something she can’t unsee in the home of her brand-new clients: a secret so dark it could destroy the privileged couple expecting their first child. This makes Kit dangerous to the couple. In turn, it makes the couple—who might kill to keep their secret—dangerous to Kit.

When homicide cop Mallory Van Alst is called to a scene at a luxury waterfront home known as the Glass House, she’s confronted with evidence of a violent attack so bloody it’s improbable the victim is alive. But there’s no body. The homeowners are gone. And their maid is missing. The only witness is the elderly woman next door, who woke to screams in the night. The neighbor was also the last person to see Kit Darling alive.

As Mal begins to uncover the secret that has sent the lives of everyone involved on a devious and inescapable collision course, she realizes that nothing is quite as it seems. And no one escapes their past.

First and foremost it's an enjoyable mystery to follow, as a rabid consumer of mysteries I can tell you it's a fun one. You're kept in the dark with plenty to chew on so it doesn't become boring, and given just enough to allow you to keep guessing. Like I said, it's quite fun, and the author has a definite talent for this genre. I look forward to reading other books by them.

I only wish the narrator, who is truly dreadful at accents, didn't attempt them, because it's comical and frankly hard to understand. Since she can't do the accents I wish she just skipped trying them altogether, or practised until she was somewhat competent at them, being a narrator. She also has a habit of trying to force the emotions in the writing into her voice like a soap actor, for all you non-Americans you'll understand me when I say it's very American. The writing already has appropriate emotion in it, she really didn't have to try have it dripping out of her tone, because that takes away from it, certainly doesn't enhance it, gives the feeling of a kid being read a bedtime story dramatically.
