About this listen

Your best friend killed a man.

Now she needs your help

But can you really trust her motives?

Emily is on holiday with her best friend, Kristen, in the stunning mountains of Chile. They're having the time of their lives until, on the last night of the trip, Emily enters their hotel suite to find it covered in blood.

Kristen claims a backpacker attacked her. She shouted, but no-one heard. She struggled, but he was too strong.

She had no option but to kill him.

With no evidence of the assault, Emily must help her hide the body....

Back home, Emily tries to forget what happened, but a surprise visit from Kristen forces her to confront the events of that night.

As the walls close in on their cover-up, Emily asks herself: can she really trust her closest friend?

I loved the story, good twists and turns. Thoroughly enjoyed it by the incessant “stop, stop, stop!” Flashback was much too overused and became annoying to hear every other chapter.

Loved the story

Great story - just when you think you’ve worked it all out something will pop up to challenge your ideas.
Narrator was good but too slow for me so listened on 1.2x and it was all good 😊

Lots of twists just when you think you’ve worked it out…

I love Andreas books. She writes from a young woman’s perspective so well, it’s as if the thoughts are my own. Great story. Really enjoyed this.

Very good

I got into this story and binge listened any time I could.
I think listening to Carey mulligan narrate had a lot to do with it- thought she was brilliant (especially now I’m trying to get through a good story with a terrible narrator!).
The ending was disappointing for me but still worth the read. I’m finding it hard to find a good story with an end that satisfies me these days ;)

Great narration

Oh my gosh, what a great book, twists and turns all the way through it. Narration was excellent and such a fantastic story I can’t wait to see the movie they will surely make of this terrific book.

I loved it!!!
