About this listen

When the rules turn deadly, winning is everything.

Only available from Audible, a gripping psychological thriller from the author of Silent Child, Saving April, and The Broken Ones. Perfect for fans of Gillian Flynn, Lisa Jewell and Paula Hawkins.

This gripping multi-voice audiobook features Billie Piper as Effie, Dan Stevens as Ben, Shane Zaza as David, and Avita Jay as Sophie, other roles are played by Felicity Duncan, David Holt and Sarah Whitehouse.

The perfect couple. The perfect marriage. The perfect game.

Effie and Ben May have everything. Success. Beauty. Glamour. But beneath the charming smiles and expensive clothes, a twisted game is in progress.

A game for which only they know the rules.

Leaving their fast-paced London life behind them, the Mays move to the exclusive gated community of Ivy Oaks. Here they can settle down and start a family in this quiet, safe little neighbourhood. At least, that’s what they tell their new neighbours.

But the truth has deadly consequences.

While Effie and Ben scheme and manipulate those around them, they fail to notice their carefully cultivated façade crumbling away. The perfect couple soon turn the game on each other, breaking all the rules. But when the stakes are life and death, losing isn’t an option.

As the final cards are dealt, who will play the winning hand and who will pay the ultimate price?

Billie Piper is great as Effie and so is the character of Ben (what a psychopath)! Thoroughly enjoyed this book and the suspense until the end. Sarah Denzel is a master of crime fiction.

Great story and performances

A great story with some unexpected twists. Mostly believable narcissist brings ruin on a previously and successful game. Amusing twist at the end.

Strong Female Protagonist

I liked this in first person, Im not a fan of the background music but enjoyed the uniqueness of the story

Better than I expected

I knew with Billie Piper that the narration would be good and of course it was flawless, however I’d been unsure whether I’d get into the story and was pleasantly surprised. Definitely an interesting read with plenty of twists and great character development and arcs

Not typical domestic, was actually very good

I don't think I've ever read a book like this. So unpredictable. The ending wasn't what I wanted, but expectations aren't always what you need. The epilogue was choice.

A most unusual tale

Good story, held my interest but the ending let it down. The last few chapters had a rushed feeling to them. Narrator's were excellent.

Good but not her best

I loved this story. Great idea ,well read and kept me enthralled all the way…yes enthralled!!!!. I want to kill a certain character in the story myself. Won’t spoil it for ppl but damn I wanted a better ending for that awful character.

Music between chapters was unnecessary

Couldn’t stop listening. Binged it in 1 day. Kept me guessing at all times. Great listen for those who love a thriller.

Page turner
