Joseph O'Loughlin appears to have the perfect life - a beautiful wife, a loving daughter and a successful career as a clinical psychologist. But nothing can be taken for granted. Even the most flawless existence is only a loose thread away from unravelling. All it takes is a murdered girl, a troubled young patient and the biggest lie of his life. Caught in a complex web of deceit and haunted by images of the slain girl, he embarks upon a search that will take him from London to Liverpool and into the darkest recesses of the human mind...

The plot moved along at a steady pace. I found myself absolutely hating some of the characters; one was a cad, and the main characters wife was beyond belief. The story was interesting and the listener had plenty of opportunities to connect dots, or not. I keep looking forward to the next chapter and the next.

I would definitely choose to listen to other titles by this author.

First book by this author, definitely will read more.
The second half of the book creates ambiguity, intrigue and submission as all the characters get rattled and tumbled. Well narrated with enthusiasm.

Great read.. last chapters were full of suspense

good story but as a person, i did not like the protagonist, did too many stupid moves, like watching a novice at chess.

main character is too easy to dislike

Feels a little slow at the beginning, with a lot of info that doesn’t seem related to the case at first, but slowly builds up momentum and things start to connect... until it gets really exciting, and when you think you are at the end of the story, there is still more to come.

Performance is great, although voices for all females and other males feels like the same intonation and accent...

Slow at first, but then...

I don’t write many reviews but I really enjoyed this audiobook. It was certainly worth the money.
