About this listen

A thrilling tale of suspense from the CWA Diamond winner and best-selling author of the Roy Grace series, read by Matt Addis.

Susan and John Carter are crazy about each other, and life is perfect but for one thing - they are on the brink of financial disaster. Surely being a surrogate mother to another man's child won't harm such a strong relationship? Especially when the mysterious Mr Sarotzini is offering to save their home and business - everything they've worked for.

What seems to be a perfect solution begins to feel like an impossible situation. Susan's pregnancy is disturbingly painful, but no-one will tell her why. It becomes apparent that Sarotzini wields immense power, and Susan begins to doubt everything she knows. As she realises the terrifying origin of the dark forces Saratzini controls, she is in fear for herself and John - but most of all for her unborn baby.

Featuring a new introduction read by Peter James.

Perhaps the ending could have been better but gripping and kept me wanting more. Wondering if there’s a sequel .. off to check!

Loved it!

Not sure about this. I was riveted but more because most of the characters were not really likeable. They were disturbing. Well written as always by Peter James but very unsettling. The decent people seemed to make a rapid exit and I was left with a feeling of hopelessness. Keen to hear others thoughts

Good Disturbing Listen

Another great book by Peter James. I loved the story line and find it hard to imagine how he can write a detective story one minute and something so different the next. Would definitely recommend this brilliant enthralling story line book to all.

Thought this was quite brilliant. Couldn’t stop reading

Strange

Way, way too long, doesn't get off the ground at all. Kept hanging in for something to happen - I have 3 hours to go and it is only just coming to life (almost).
Boring story - much of the content repeated unnecessarily as if we didn't get it the first time, utterly lifeless and lacking the usual Peter James calibre. Performance good given the material.

I cannot believe this is a book by Peter James
