When Fiona Lawson comes home to find strangers moving into her house, she's sure there's been a mistake. She and her estranged husband, Bram, have a modern coparenting arrangement: bird's nest custody, where each parent spends a few nights a week with their two sons at the prized family home to maintain stability for their children. But the system built to protect their family ends up putting them in terrible jeopardy. In a domino effect of crimes and misdemeanors, the nest comes tumbling down.

Now Bram has disappeared, and so have Fiona's children. As events spiral well beyond her control, Fiona will discover just how many lies her husband was weaving and how little they truly knew each other. But Bram's not the only one with things to hide, and some secrets are best kept to oneself, safe as houses.

Good plot

I really enjoyed the plot. all except for the ending. cliffhanger that I wasn't prepared for

Enjoy and be surprised

This story had quite the twist! I found myself itching to squeeze more time in to listen. Well narrated, female voice has a whispering quality. Well crafted.

Starts slow but gets interesting

Was a very good listen. Like other reviewers I thought it started out pretty slow.

New plot

Unique storyline, intriguing how it unfolded, good acting in the narration added to the story.

Interesting format

Along with being a very good story the podcast format added to the narration. I was a bit skeptical at first but quickly became convinced
as the story seamlessly unfolded.

An okay story but a bit boring and overly long

A pretty good story, but I feel like this could've been novella length. Narrators were fine, but the male narrator got a bit whiny when doing some of the voices, and for some reason the female narrator whispered the end of her sentences. Like constantly. This was annoying and I had to keep adjusting the volume. Enjoyed The Other Passenger and The Heights audiobooks by this author more.

Hmmmm

Very interesting story, however frustrating because their issue could have been resolved long before the ending.

Good but Not Her Best

I enjoyed listening to this, but not as much as "Those People," also by Louise Candlish, which I listened to just prior to this one. The storyline was fairly compelling, with a few unexpected turns. However, I found this a bit hard to follow at times, and my mind wandered sometimes, causing me to need to rewind many passages. I suppose I had set the bar higher for this author based on my previous listen. I do still plan to listen to more of her books here on Audible, and thus far, I think she is a talented storyteller.

The narration was very good, and I do appreciate multiple narrators for one book. I think Elizabeth Knowelden has a wonderful voice, but my only problem is that she generally speaks in a whispering tone, which can make it a challenge to hear what she is saying. I think the responsibility for this falls to the audio production, which I feel should be adjusted accordingly. I have excellent hearing and still had trouble hearing this with the volume turned up all the way. If I'm consistently straining to hear what is being said, something is not quite right... Other than this, I really did enjoy listening to both narrators.

EDITED TO ADD: The problem is definitely with the sound production and not the narrator herself. Just started listening to another book by a different author, also narrated by Elizabeth Knowelden. I can hear her perfectly in this one!

Suspenseful- but.....

I enjoyed this book but found it to be slightly unbelievable in many areas. How could all this really happen right under your nose? And the ending—- so abrupt!!!

Disappointed

I found the story far fetched and the characters characterless and annoying. Hated the end
(Sorry)
