Yet as their relationship moves fast, Emma’s friends worry she might be exploited. She’s a rich woman after all.

Emma doesn’t care Matthew has no money. But as the memory of his perfect first wife hangs over them, Emma does have one tiny doubt.

If Matthew’s wife hadn’t died, he wouldn’t be with her. And Emma wonders if she’s second best. Can she ever fill the dead woman’s shoes?

As jealousy and suspicion blossom between Emma and Matthew, events take a darker, dangerous turn.

Suddenly Emma doesn’t know who she can trust. Her friends? Her husband? Or even herself…?

Kept twisting in a good way

Oh man this was a non stop listener for me I enjoyed it from beginning to end. The way all the loose ends tied together in the end was just amazing and so satisfying. Every character had and ending no loose ends here !

Captivating

Oh my gosh, it made me so uncomfortable at times. I hated what was happening to Emma. She was literally losing her mind with how Betsy and Matthew were gaslighting her. So powerful and gripping.

Amazing plot twists

Keeps you guessing until the end. Well written, unending plot twists and fantastic narration. An enjoyable and quick read, since you don’t want to put it down.

Loved it!

So well written. I thought I had it completely solved, but the twists kept coming!

Be Patient - The Ending is Worth it !

Wow! I gave the story 4 stars because the beginning was so boring that I increased the voice speed to get on with it. Then toward the middle of the book it got so interesting that I went back to normal speed. I could never have guessed the ending. I think this is one of the best plot twists that I've heard and I've listened to hundreds of books. The narrator was phenomenal!

Plot twists

It was a bit slow and sometimes repetitive but then it was much better. The ending was better than expected

Excellent Twisty Adventure!

Loved this story and its unpredictable twists. Fantastic narration as well. Will definitely be looking for more by this author.

Unpredictable

Loved this book, so many twists and turns and all of them believable. Well written and enjoyed the narrator.

Pleasantly Surprised!

I went into this audiobook completely blind…I didn’t read the synopsis or the reviews. I was so pleasantly surprised at how quick I was hooked! Such a great read with twists and turns throughout. I can’t wait to read more from this author!

Full Circle

I loved that the story had a little bit of everything. The character development and their expressed internal thought process was interesting. Full circle because everyone learned a lesson by learning more about themselves or through empathizing with others.
