About this listen

It was only meant to be a prank ...

May has always been the good girl, the rule follower.

But even good girls have secrets.

When she reunites with her two best friends for a holiday in the Hamptons, a drunken joke lands the trio in the middle of a missing persons investigation.

As the case takes a deadly turn, and long buried secrets are uncovered, the three friends are suddenly unsure who they can trust, least of all each other.

Critic Reviews

'No one lands plot twists like Alafair Burke, and The Note may be her best novel yet.' (Harlan Coben, international bestselling author)
'When a girls' weekend away goes wrong, everyone looks to the past for answers. A twisty, fast-paced thriller about friendships, betrayal and loyalty.' (Nita Prose, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Maid and The Mystery Guest)
'Alafair Burke knows how to build a thriller that picks up more speed as it goes, all the while telling a story about lives turned upside down by one wrong move.' (Michael Connelly, #1 New York Times bestselling author)
'With The Note, Alafair Burke ups her already strong game of deviously smart plotting and strong, believable female characters to deliver her most thrilling and entertaining novel.' (Karin Slaughter, bestselling author of the Will Trent series)
