Handsome and wealthy, with a sparkling public image, Richard seemed like the perfect man to provide the security that Beth and her kids were craving. But when she uncovers a dangerous secret about her new husband, Beth realizes he will go to any lengths - even murder - to keep it. After barely escaping with her life, she and her children flee. They eventually make their way to a secluded estate in the Pennsylvania countryside, where Beth dares to hope she has found a safe place at last....

Story

The reader was not the best.. they got better with each book.
That's all folks!!

Good story poor narration

The story was engaging and enjoyable but at times the narration was akin to nails drug across a chalkboard. Amy's soft spoken, monotone voice did not do this book any justice.
In the end the story was worth putting up with the poor narration.

This is a amazing book and the story fascinating!

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I was quickly captivated by the story and loved the characters. The mystery of what she is hiding from is told in a way that you will not be able to put this down till you have heard the whole book. Just when you think she is safe she isn't. This book is a rare jewel and I just may listen to it again it is that GOOD!!

Any additional comments?

Get this book you will not be sorry!

Awesome point of view

This might be the first book written in the first person that is *totally* from the first person's point of view - meaning no method or devices to "fill in the gaps." I was so confused at what was happening at first as I didn't understand how strictly the author stuck to her point of view. To that end we *never* see what is happening outside her eyesight/earshot.

So I started off frustrated. Started to understand. Really started liking it. Cried hard during one section (later in the book). Loved how it ended and how that POV worked so well!

connection with a Good over evil conspiracy.

I enjoyed this auditable ,it was a good idea to capture the listener and have them to connect with the principal theme of the story.

Pretty good but...

First Henry is the best character! Overall I enjoyed this book but I did feel there was way too many story lines going for one book. Beth, James, the husband, the killer if I didn’t pay close attention it was easy to miss something and be a little lost

The narrator is absolutely awful the story 👍🏼

The story is great!! The narrator is 199% awful!!! I wished I could have it redone by someone else!!

meh

this book was full of more pornagraphy scenes than actual story. I fast forwarded thought at least 1.5hrs of this book and was annoyed with more than that. I love mysteries but this had way more porn than mystery.

Thriller I couldn't put down

Great book that keep me wanting more at the end of each chapter. Murder, drama, mystery, and love... this book has it all!

What a thriller!!

I really enjoyed this book. It really kept you on your toes and kept you guessing. I just fell in love with Beth and her little children. The narrator did a fabulous job telling the story.
