‘Hooks you in to the drama straight away’ The Sun

Every marriage has its secrets…

Beth and Tom Hardcastle are the envy of their neighbourhood – they have the perfect marriage, the perfect house, the perfect family.

When the police knock on their door one evening, Beth panics. Tom should be back from work by now – what if he’s crashed his car? She fears the worst.

But the worst is beyond imagining.

As the interrogation begins, Beth will find herself questioning everything she believed about her husband.

They’re saying he’s a monster. And they’re saying she knew.

Easy to listen too, you don’t need to think too much. A basic thriller but could have had more twist/suspense. At times it was a bit drawn out. Not bad.

Easy read

The book was ok, I finished it but probably wouldn’t recommend it to a thriller reader. The audio is great, but the overall book was a bit of a let down, I felt there was no real shock and I could pick the ending.

Ok, not a standout.

Worst book I’ve ‘read’ in awhile. The plot was poorly executed, the characters were terrible, the main character keeps things from the reader, so the twists were not appreciated. The only thing that kept me listening was that there wasn’t long left, being a shorter audio book. Don’t waste your credit.

This story just went on and on. I actually listened to it on 1.5 speed as the narrator spoke so slowly and paused for such long gaps.
The main character Beth was such a selfish person and I worry about her poor daughter.
Just not a great story- save your credit for another book . I only listened to the end as I was promised a twist- a pretty easy twist to guess.
I don’t think I’ll listen to this author again or this narrator.

Sooo long for a pretty ordinary story
