About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

A gripping thriller from the bestselling author of The Couple at No 9.

Emilia Ward is just an ordinary mum living happily in suburban London with her husband and two children - a teenager from her first marriage, a little boy from her second. She also happens to be the bestselling author of the Miranda Moody detective novels.

But when Emilia embarks on her tenth novel, life takes a disturbing turn: an incident straight out of the plot of one of her novels occurs in real life. Just an unsettling coincidence, she thinks.

Until it happens again - and again.

Then someone she knows dies in the same way as a victim in the book she's currently writing...

Why is someone doing this?

How do they know what she is writing?

And what if Emilia and her family are next?

Over all a great story that keeps you guessing, some good easy to listen to will look into other books from this author

Took a little bit worth it

Was a little tricky to follow at times as it kept bouncing from characters with different narrators and from story line to book written by main character without reference at beginning of each time it changed over. Might have been a bit easier to follow had the characters or book be referenced at the beginning of each chapter. Not a bad story, just a lot of characters to follow. Wasn’t bad, but have enjoyed her other books more so

A tad confusing at times
