Publisher's summary

The instant top 10 best seller

Can you guess who killed Jamie Lawrence?

Late one night, three women share secrets.

They barely know each other, but they all know Jamie Lawrence. They know what he's guilty of. And they agree something must be done.

But as their plan spirals out of control, they begin to doubt themselves...and each other. Then Jamie is found dead. And suddenly everything is at stake. As lies are unravelled and truths exposed, two urgent questions emerge:

Who is really guilty?

And who will have to pay?

Best audio performance!!!

I listen to audio books every day and Naomi Sutcliffe is by far the best I’ve heard. I sometimes found myself forgetting that it was just one person doing all the characters voices. Just wonderful!!!

So utterly, tediously dull

Really just don't bother with this one. Too many characters hit you all at once at the beginning, none of them likeable and hard to keep up. There's a lack of clarity about the setting, which means it doesn't come to life. Sadly, the author has a case of snobbish English attitude, which has no real place in literature because it's so dull. Move past this one and go for something more worthy of your time. I returned this after two goes at listening, starting from the beginning again and not managing to get past the first 50 minutes.
