Publisher's summary

What should have been a fun-filled, carefree day takes a tragic turn for the worse for one mother when her best friend’s child goes missing in this suspenseful, compulsively listenable, and darkly twisted psychological thriller.

It all started at the school fair....

Charlotte was supposed to be looking after the children, and she swears she was. She only took her eyes off of them for one second. But when her three kids are all safe and sound at the school fair, and Alice, her best friend Harriet’s daughter, is nowhere to be found, Charlotte panics. Frantically searching everywhere, Charlotte knows she must find the courage to tell Harriet that her beloved only child is missing. And admit that she has only herself to blame.

Harriet, devastated by this unthinkable, unbearable loss, can no longer bring herself to speak to Charlotte again, much less trust her. Now more isolated than ever and struggling to keep her marriage afloat, Harriet believes nothing and no one. But as the police bear down on both women trying to piece together the puzzle of what happened to this little girl, dark secrets begin to surface - and Harriet discovers that confiding in Charlotte again may be the only thing that will reunite her with her daughter....

This breathless and fast-paced debut - perfect for fans of Big Little Lies and The Couple Next Door - takes you on a chilling journey that will keep you guessing until the very last page.

I Guessed Wrong!

I totally guessed wrong about the "who done it" for a good part of the book. That is what made it a great book for me. I was entertained by this book and enjoyed it.

Furiously Familiar

I enjoyed this book. However, I was NOT expecting to relate to it, as I don’t have children. The thorough depiction of Bryan, a gaslighting narcissist, was really unexpected and through me for a loop. I believe there are some deeper lessons and warnings in this book than it offers on the surface. Great job. Thanks for the great read.

Good story but looooong

I liked it OK but it was tooooo long. Not interested in anything else from this author.

great read

great read. truly suspenseful. I enjoyed the twists that kept me guessing. good narration too.

A page turner; quick and easy

I liked this book because it moved quickly and was very interesting. I especially liked it was clean as far as language and morals. At first I didn’t like the English accent but the story was so good I became quickly used to it. I couldn’t put it down or shall I say stop listening to it. I would like to try this author again.

😬I don't like this kind of book...

this hits a little too close for comfort with me. But if something like this is foreign to you, it's an eye opener!!

Enjoyed!

I listened on audible. Great Narration. Good story. I enjoyed this book.
Keeps you interested. This one was hard to figure out the plot twist was crazy here.
Good listen!

Fantastic narration and story

The narrator makes or breaks an audiobook for me and these were superb! The storyline kept my interest from start to finish. Worth a credit!

wow!

I can't believe how great this story was! Not what I was expecting and would give it more stars if I could. The narration was perfect!

Addictive, Good Domestic Thriller

Her One Mistake held my attention throughout and left me wanting to listen every chance I had.

A woman watches her neighbour's child, and she looks away for just a moment and that child is gone. Feeling horrible and soon shunned by her friends, she feels horrible about her mistake. However, as the story progresses, we find out things are not as they seem, and the hunt to find the child takes some unexpected twists and turns.

Well narrated and enjoyable to listen at the speed of 1, Her One Mistake is a satisfying listen. I would recommend.
