Narrated by: Deirdra Whelan

Would you risk everything to protect your family?

Carla Andrews and Lorraine West are work colleagues and best friends. They socialise together, they work in the same bookmakers and they support each other as only best friends can. Then they are murdered together.

When DI Tom Fowler is handed the case, he discovers a journal that Carla has left and must unpick the secrets Lorraine has kept hidden. Soon Carla’s and Lorraine’s husbands become the main suspects. It’s usually the spouse who is responsible, isn’t it?

The investigation progresses until Isaac West, Lorraine’s 16-year-old son, disappears. Will the truth ever emerge? Will Isaac ever be found? And is knowing the truth always worth the sacrifice?

Excellent plot and twists

This book was enthralling from the beginning to the end. The plot twists were superb. I’d you are looking for a twist psychological book I highly recommend this one!

Surprise ending

Wow

Absolutely gobsmacked by the ending, I never saw that coming!! Definitely one of the most successful surprise endings I’ve ever read.

Just the right length

I’ve listened to a lot of books that have decent storylines but are dragged out with a lot of unnecessary fillers. This book wasn’t as long, which kept the story, and my interest, moving. The twists were both unexpected and believable.
