Resumen del Editor

‘It’s me,’ says the voice on the other end of the line. It’s been thirteen years and I still recognise it. Thirteen years of nothing. Silence. Not even a birthday card. ‘It’s time for you to tell the truth. It’s life or death.’

Three hours later, car tyres screech and the air bags release. For a second, nothing happens. There’s only stunned silence and a ringing in my ears.

I peel open my eyes. What have I done? There’s a groan, and I gasp, terrified, at the sight of the man next to me. This is all his fault.

Fumbling with the door, I half step, half fall into the freezing cold air. I’m shivering all over as my knees land on the tarmac. ‘Help,’ I whisper into the dark, empty street.

Then there’s a flash of blue light. A siren. The police are coming. They will save me and arrest him. They will see a dangerous man and an innocent victim – a loving mother with a son she cherishes.

They have to – because they can’t know the truth. They can’t discover what happened thirteen years ago and what happened tonight. All those years back, the lies nearly destroyed us. I won’t let that happen today.

It’s my word against his. And there’s no line I won’t cross to protect my family.

Loved this book!

The twists and turns until the end made this a very good read or listen in my case. Looking forward to the next book.

Another great listen!

This author never let's me down, All of her books are in my library. Definitely worth the money

A very darn disturbing book

This book held my interest for the most part, but the characters were, for the most part, despicable, unlikeable people.
Lucy was the only decent one of the bunch.
Her I liked a lot, would have liked an entire book about her.
I am left very dissatisfied with the ending, makes me feel as if there are a lot of truly rotten people in this world

Kept me interested for almost 9hrs

Not many books can do that for me. So yes I really enjoyed it. Right from the start there is some interest, and throughout the book, just as I thought this is the pinnacle and the book will start ending...something else happens. It's not complicated so the listener doesn't have to remember too many characters or details, but it has a layer of intrigue throughout. Some might say its a little silly or unrealistic towards the end, which it is, but that doesn't bother me too much as overall its a good 4 star listen.

Twisty ending not worth the slog

This started to be interesting too late. There are some good bits here but not characters and plt development not compelling.
