About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

The eagerly anticipated new thriller from the No.1 bestselling author of Disclaimer.

'Poised to establish herself as a big name' Telegraph

Look around you. Who holds the most power in the room? Is it the one who speaks loudest, who looks the part, who has the most money, who commands the most respect?

Or perhaps it’s someone like Christine Butcher: a meek, overlooked figure, who silently bears witness as information is shared and secrets are whispered. Someone who quietly, perhaps even unwittingly, gathers together knowledge of the people she’s there to serve – the ones who don’t notice her, the ones who consider themselves to be important.

There’s a fine line between loyalty and betrayal. And when someone like Christine Butcher is pushed to her limit, she might just become the most dangerous person in the room . . .

"Poised to establish herself as a big name." (The Telegraph)
All stars

I enjoyed this but admit was a little disappointed as it is not nearly as good as Disclaimer. Well, the end was disappointing. Loved the narrator and the characters were well developed and real.

Good story
