Publisher's summary

You trusted her. You shouldn’t have.

Alicia’s been telling lies. And now, they’ve come back to haunt her.

When an old colleague turns up at a party, Alicia comes face to face with the man who has the potential to ruin her perfect family life. He wouldn’t, would he?

In order to keep her secrets, Alicia has to tell yet more lies, and when a devastating car accident makes the situation even more dangerous, it’s only a matter of time before everything falls apart. Can secrets really stay hidden forever?

If you loved The Girl on the Train, The Wife Between Us, and The Sister, you’ll love this compelling and gripping psychological thriller from Sheryl Browne. The Affair will have you hooked from the very first word!

The Mistake

The story was very intriguing emotionally-charged and psychologically thrilling. I absolutely loved it. delightfully performed skillfully written 5 * overall rating. Sheryl Browne has a new bubbling fan. I can't wait to read the Babysister.
Tamsin Kennard did very well on the narrative portion. 😍

Hard book to get through

Story is bland with no surprises. Painful to finish but I did. Not a psychological thriller.

What an awesome book

From the beginning to the end, this author captured my attention and held it all the way through. Definitely worth the money. The presentation by the narrator put this into my top favorite books. Loved it!!! 😀😀😀

Awesome!! Absolutely love it!

I absolutely love this book. Great story. Perfectly flawed characters. I hurt so badly for Justin. I wanted to slap Alicia. I wanted to ground Sophie. I wanted to beat the heck out of Jess. And I wanted to kill Paul. The only thing I see wrong with this book is that I don’t consider it a psychological thriller. But I don’t care what genre it’s in, I highly recommend it.

unexpectedly liked it

Im a chronic "I must finish it if i started it" reader...not sure if the reading "accent" (based in UK) threw me off but I couldnt get into it at 1st but the more I listened the more I wanted to know what was going to happened..I stopped listening a couple times but then started back up. Would I recommend ehh probably not but it did end up being ok...I dont feel like I totally wasted 8 hrs of my life like I have with some books

Good book

This book started out slow in my opinion, and sad. I kept waiting for the twist and thrills. They eventually came, but it took awhile. Very interesting and I liked the book overall, it just took awhile for it to get to the point

This family has the absolute worst communication

skills possible and the daughter is just ...dumb. This story was a bit frustrating to get through. I found myself thinking, 'omg... just spit it out!' This book could have been cut in half if the characters just completed a sentence or a thought when speaking to one another.
