About this listen

A return from the past knocks a family dangerously off-balance in a novel of spiraling suspense by Washington Post and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Minka Kent.

Merritt Coletto and her husband, Luca, have the life they dreamed of: a coastal home, a promising future, and a growing family. That dream ends with a late-night knock on the door.

Weak, broken, and emaciated, it’s Luca’s first wife, Lydia. Missing for ten years, presumed dead, and very much alive, she has quite a story. Her kidnapping. A torturous confinement that should’ve ended with her dead. And finally, escape. Racked with guilt over the beautiful life they’ve built, Merritt and Luca agree to help get Lydia back on her feet - it’s the least they can do.

But the more enmeshed Lydia becomes in Merritt’s family, the more questions Merritt has. What is it about Lydia that’s especially unnerving? Why hasn’t she gone to the police with her harrowing tale? What does she really want of them? The answers, when they come, are terrifying.

Because Lydia isn’t the only one with secrets.

Critic Reviews

“Kent sets her hook so deep and springs such a dumbfounding series of surprises that very few readers will want to interrupt their reading for anything less than a house fire.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

I was hooked from the very beginning right through until the very end. I couldn't stop! The twist the story took was unexpected and I loved how each chapter went back and forth between two characters.

Suspenseful with a twist!

I dislike the expression "it is what it is" but it somehow feels appropriate here. If you enjoy this genre, the over-the-top thriller that aims to give you twists and turns, without necessarily making a lick of sense...well, you'll enjoy this one too.

I thought it was clever and original enough and I certainly found I wanted to keep listening. I'm happy to suspend disbelief and go along for the ride, so jump aboard if this is your type of story.

I struggled with these particular American accents. Just too sugary sweet that turned me off all of them. I struggled liking anyone. A reasonable storyline with one twist I wasn't expecting. I reckon it could make a good film, treated right and building the intrigue and suspense. An interesting concept of someone coming back from being missing presumed dead. Made me wonder what dues happen in real life; how people cope and adjust once the news headlines subside and they are left to get on with restarting their lives.

A film version could be unmissable

Really good writing. Felt that you can really get to know the characters. Enjoyable to listen to and many twists that I didn’t see coming! Hope this writer has other books I can listen to - I will go and have a look asap! Narration was also good. Highly recommend!

Pleasant surprise - happy to have found this one!
