Publisher's summary

A weekend away deep in the English countryside takes a sinister turn in this suspenseful and compulsive debut psychological thriller.

Sometimes the only thing to fear...is yourself.

Leonora (Lee to some, Nora to others) is a reclusive writer, but when an old friend unexpectedly invites her to a weekend away in an eerie glass house, she reluctantly agrees to make the trip. But a haunting realization creeps in to the party: they are not alone in the woods.

Forty-eight hours later, Nora wakes up in a hospital bed with the knowledge that someone is dead. Wondering not “what happened?” but “what have I done?” she tries to piece together the events of the past weekend. In order to uncover secrets and reveal motives, Nora must revisit parts of herself that she’d rather leave buried where they belong: in the past.

In the vein of The Girl on the Train and Gone Girl, this gripping thriller will have listeners on the edge of their seats until the very last sentence.

The narrator was fantastic. Good story.

The narrator did a great job what is each character's voice. The story was a little slow at first but the second half things got interesting and I was on the edge of my seat.

Meh

I was so bored up to chapter 20 I almost asked for a refund. Way way too much use of the f word for my taste throughout the book. The detail was eye-crossing boredom at times the first 20-22 chapters. The ending was meh. Just not a book I really loved but the last 15 or so chapters kept me going I suppose.
