Resumen del Editor

I cast my eyes over the impressive meal I’ve cooked and the half-empty crystal wine glasses. As our guests smile graciously, I squeeze my husband’s shoulder. It’s vital I get his friends to like me. To believe this version of me. Because I’ll do anything to stop them learning the truth…

Ever since I met my handsome husband Dr Gabe Bonneville, I started playing the role of the perfect housewife. He works hard as a surgeon, so I look after our home, and throw elaborate dinner parties with champagne cocktails for his best friends Hugh and Anita. He’s my safe place and my chance to have the family I’ve always wanted.

I’ve managed to hide the mornings when I wake up and see a face in the shadows. I haven’t told Gabe the truth about the woman who raised me, or told him about the therapy I’ve been getting so my secrets stay hidden in the dark. I haven’t questioned his past so he doesn’t ask about mine. I see the way Anita looks at him sometimes, but I’ll never say a word.

Until the letter arrives at the front door. The beautiful, expensive card shakes in my hand as I read the neat black handwriting.

Someone knows I’m not just a housewife. And the lies I’ve told will be all that’s left when I disappear…

I can’t get enough!!

Another title in the series I absolutely devoured by this author. And the narration was performed flawlessly once again. From someone who listens to 100+ books per year, this series is not only one of the very few that I have ever reviewed, but also one that I will absolutely recommend to others. Brilliant.

The characters.

Awesome book, another hit with Dan Riley. Her books never disappoint and this one keeps you guessing until the last few chapters.

My jaw is still on the floor

Another amazing story that keeps you on edge of your seat and wanting more. Narration was amazing! I can’t wait for the next one!

Awesome read!!!

Could never have guessed the conclusion…well worth your credit.I consumed this book too quickly.

Absolutely excellent series- love Det Dan Riley

This whole series is fantastic and though you can easily read them out of order, do yourself a favor and start with book one. It really helps to lay some groundwork for the “Dan” part of this book - his story and his background and you’ll greatly appreciate these books as you continue to get to know him. The series is so well-written and well plotted. Absolutely love all of this and this one, well, this latest one is exceptional.

Sad to see it all end

Another great novel by Anna-Lou Weatherley and such a great addition to this series. What is even better, was that it was included for free with my Plus Catalog. So that makes me like it GREAT in my opinion :^)

I'm sad to see that this is the last in this series. Hopefully some day, she'll write another one, so we can see how things turn out for detective Riley and his partner.

Loved how the voice matched whatever person was being talked about!!

Really good book, suspenseful from the beginning which I love. Narrated perfectly and absolutely fantastic to listen to.

Impressed

This story really got it's hooks into ne right from the start. I did however see done of the plot coming, but it was enjoyable anyway.

Dan Riley the hero

I really loved this book! The only thing is the narrator used the same voice for every character, there were times I got confused who was in the scene. Several times I got the characters mixed up. Overall though it was a great listen!

Love her books and James Lailey

I have listened to a lot of Anna-Lou Weatherley’s books and always enjoy them so much. Love Dan Riley’s character and James Lailey plays the part so well. Love the humor he gives at certain times - really cute!! I like knowing Riley’s whole background because I feel like I know him and it makes me want to listen to more of the series!
