About this listen

You made a promise to your sister. It could destroy your daughter.

The daughter

Fifteen-year-old Rosie lies in hospital fighting for her life. She’s trying to tell her mother what happened to her, but she can’t speak the words out loud.

The mother

Toni is a doting and over-protective mother, terrified for her daughter’s life. Having lost her husband in a tragic accident, Toni has dedicated her life to keeping Rosie safe from harm. She needs to know what secrets Rosie has been keeping and how she ended up in a hospital bed - but Toni has a secret of her own....

The pact

Thirty years ago, Toni and her sister, Bridget, made each other a promise: never to speak of their childhood; to protect each other without asking for help from others, no matter what....

But in order to save Rosie, Toni may have to break her lifelong promise to her sister...and open doors to her past she hoped would remain closed forever.

The Pact is a chilling psychological thriller about the lies we will tell to save our children. Perfect for fans of Gone Girl, Apple Tree Yard, and The Sister.

An easy read, but deeply psychological. S.E Lynes books are like peeling fruit with a miniature peeler - piece by tiny piece until suddenly everything unfolds and makes sense. Then twist after twist rivets you to the story. Sheer brilliance!
Excellent narration made for an enjoyable read. Highly recommended reading.

Brilliant!

On the whole I love this author’s stories but this one I gave up on at the half way mark and slipped to the last 3 chapters. It was boring…. And so predictable…. It won’t stop me reading whatever I have left of this author but this one wasn’t great

Probably one to miss
