Resumen del Editor

On a warm spring evening, guests gather in a perfectly manicured garden to celebrate Maggie and Len’s twenty-fifth wedding anniversary. Maggie leans against the apple tree, watching her fun-loving husband and darling children as her heart swells with pride. As the joyful party atmosphere disappears into the night, close by, the lifeless body of a young woman is pulled from a river.

Slipping upstairs to find the special gift for her adoring husband, Maggie stumbles across something else hidden amongst the dusty boxes of family keepsakes...

A printed pink silky scarf that doesn’t belong to her. She holds it up to her face, breaths in the sweet sickly perfume, it’s scent familiar, and tendrils of fear snake through her body. The scarf is stained with blood.

As Maggie re-joins the party and tries to ignore her churning stomach, she pours herself a glass of champagne to toast the man she’s enjoyed decades of happy marriage with. Then she catches a news flash of the local girl’s murder. She stares at the girl with the beautiful face, long ice-blonde hair and, draped loosely around her neck, Maggie recognises it instantly. She’s wearing the scarf.

An utterly addictive and twisty story about the complex web of secrets within a family that will have you racing through to the mind-blowing end. If you love Lisa Jewell, Gillian Flynn and Behind Closed Doors, you won’t be able to put this down!

Fantastic series

Love the Dan Riley series! Can’t wait for more! Just sad that now I have to wait until her next book is published.

I loved this book

The narration was phenomenal and the most of the characters so relatable and loveable. Great story.

I’m heartbroken

Just when you think it couldn’t get any worse, it does. I went from mad for the main character, then mad at the main character, to just heartbroken for the main character.

outstanding story!

I could not stop listening to this. I listened to it every chance I got. from start to end it kept me hanging on the edge of my seat. The characters were amazing, the storyline awesome. there were parts that were laugh out loud funny, a lot of emotion, a lot of suspense, twist and turns. for me. It’s the perfect audible read

Great Narrator for this story

Really enjoyed this story ... character were so engaging (hence great narrator!) and very good plot.

A Solid Listen

This was a good one, and the end was "chef's kiss" perfection. I enjoyed the characters and even when I could narrow things down, I was pleasantly surprised by the continued focus on developing storylines and character relationships. An excellent listen

A cautionary tale about truth

I HATED how Maggie whined, and never opened up to her husband after so many years of marriage. Do people REALLY live like this in marriage??? Great writing to have me yelling at the story more than once! I do like this writers stories.

Captivating story

Even though I figured out the plot before it was revealed, I really enjoyed this book. it held my interest throughout! Great narrator as well

Makes you think

Slow start, but worth the wait. Definitely worth listening to. The human aspect is thought provoking.

The mystery of the plot

Good plot and development. There were parts which were funny, others loving, sweet. Enjoyed the narration and changes of voices.
