About this listen

Newlywed Jade Westmore has finally found her forever in husband Wells, a charming, successful, and recently divorced architect—only there’s one caveat: behind the gates of their elysian estate, hidden from street view in the caretaker’s cottage … lives Wells’s first wife, Sylvie.

Three years ago, the original Mrs. Westmore suffered a nervous breakdown—and hasn’t uttered a sound since. Not a physician, psychologist, or world-renown specialist has been able to elicit so much as a word from the silent woman … until now.

On an ordinary Tuesday while Wells was away—despite instructions to never disturb the fragile woman—Jade visited her isolated predecessor bearing a peace offering: a bouquet of white lilies. Only she wasn’t expecting Sylvie to have something for her as well: a slip of torn notebook paper with a single word scrawled in shaky black ink.

That word? Run.

The story was okay, not great, but it still kept me reasonably interested.

Slightly disappointed in some of the twists.

It felt, at times it had the capacity to go in so many more sinister directions and fizzled out though.

Reasonably Suspenseful Thriller

The story was ok. The narrator of Jade's voice was fine, but Sylvie's voice was like a robo caller!

Decent story

how dare people disrespect others. It is in most books, this book, by this author has captured the momentum of horror in our world. We need to respect each other and stand tall when we are weathered by issues. A sad 😞 but beautiful book. A great listen.

I liked trying to work out who was the guilty culprit. The narrators did a great job.

A fun story

Not bad, not super complex though. Kinda predictable. But an easy listen nonetheless with good narration

Not a bad thriller

I enjoy stories that start one way then offer twists and turns that are unpredictable. This beauty offers so much. A gritty no nonsense story, strong characters and an awful truth. I was invested till the last word.

disappointed, predictable and dragged on. Stuck with it hoping something would happen, unfortunately it didn't

boring
