About this listen

My son and his girlfriend stand there, two terrified teenagers shivering in the doorway, and say the unthinkable. ‘I think we killed someone.’ Now, I have to decide exactly what kind of mother I am…

Everything changes in a heartbeat the night Conor and his girlfriend Paris Levinson come to us begging for help, their clothes spattered with blood. They say it was an accident, that they were in the wrong place at the wrong time…

A mother’s intuition is never wrong, and I know there is more they aren’t telling us. But Paris’ mother Helen and I have to make a choice that will change all of our lives. Do we tell the truth, and risk losing our children forever? Or do we lie to keep them safe?

We will do anything to protect our children, but one wrong move could cost us everything. Lying to the police was a risk, and now Helen is acting more unpredictable by the day – turning up at my house unannounced, harassing my husband, telling lies about my past…

The only way to save my family is to uncover the truth about that night. I’m convinced the answers lie hidden inside the Levinsons’ house. I’d do anything for Conor, but am I prepared for what I might find behind locked doors? But when your son is in danger, you find out what kind of mother you are…

I think I have a crush on DCI Dan Riley and the narrator playing his character

I really enjoy these books, I could listen to the narrators voice all day long. DCI Dan Riley is a caring character working on complex murders and wicked circumstances.

Pure Entertainment! 💜

Absolutely hooked from the very start. Not a dull moment in this story. Lost a fair few hours of sleep over the past week as I HAD to keep listening. It was comforting to get another story in the Detective Dan Riley series. Narrator was fantastic as always. Some more gripping, juicy writing from Anna-Lou Weatherley! ❤️
