When her beloved father dies, Josie is devastated to uncover a secret life he has led with another family: another house, another woman, and a half sister, Valentina.

I haven’t lived here long. The house is small and a little run-down, but each piece of faded floral wallpaper I peel away feels like unwrapping the second chance I never thought I’d get. I’m finally free to wear what I want, and I don’t flinch when I accidently burn dinner. My new home is warm, and the kids are safe inside. Anywhere would feel idyllic after the nightmare marriage I’ve just escaped.

Erin mingles with groups of family and friends, surrounded by love and laughter. Then a little red envelope lands on the doormat and everything changes.

Story
The doorbell rings, just days after my beloved husband’s sudden death. I don’t recognise the woman on our doorstep, with her blonde highlights, a diamond bracelet identical to my own and a bouncing baby boy in her arms. As I show her inside, I notice her eyes grow wide as she takes in our spacious hallway, and the big squashy sofas that we all used to pile on. She glances at the silver-framed family photos and my little daughter hiding behind my skirts. She looks at me, her blue eyes serious. ‘I’m sorry’ she says. ‘I am your husband’s girlfriend. And this is his son.'

You smile politely, even while your heart beats faster. You watch as he looks down into the stroller, at the beautiful blond-haired, blue-eyed baby kicking his little legs in the sunshine, whose innocent smile lights up your world. You see his face change. You know what he’s thinking. The next day he calls. His voice is shaking. He wants the truth. Is it his child?

An ABSURD story!
While this started out strong and with promise, the story just broke down about half way through. Yes, there were many twists and turns here which did hold my interest for the first three quarters of the book, but the twists turned into increasingly ludicrous and unbelievable actions and goings-on. I mostly wanted to strangle the protagonist for being such a spineless idiot. The pleasant narration by Annette Chown kept this story from being a complete farce. This was my first book by Jess Ryder, so perhaps her stories are just not for me.

Wow.. This booked absolutely sucked..
For anyone looking to waste a credit, this would be the perfect book to do it on. Oh my goodness. There are no psychological twists and no shockers, and just plain obvious stupidity. I hated all of the characters and I just didn't care. I listened to the end, and after the last sentence of the book I thought 'What?? Seriously?? This is IT??"
I am going to try and get my credit back, although Audible is making it more difficult these days. I hated this book- every single part of it. It was like eating cardboard pizza- all filler and no taste.
Awful.

For me this one was more of a 2.5 than a 3.

not nail biting, nor a thriller
This book had a lot of potential, but fell flat. There isn't much in the way of suspense other than waiting for the author to tell you what you saw coming five chapters ago.

Nail biting out of boredom
I have not written very many reviews on books. However, I am very disappointed with this book. It got such high reviews, but it is beyond me why. I’ve listened to a multitude of books, mostly thrillers. Some good, some great, some leaving me aching to hurl my phone out the car window. There is nothing exciting nor thrilling about this story. It drones on and on, and I kept thinking...surely this will get better. It didn’t. Don’t waist your time.

The narration is driving me nuts
Just not enjoying this book. I found the narrators voice to be so irritating. Over pronouncing every word, emphasising every ‘t’ so so annoying, I even asked my husband if it was just me but the moment he heard her voice he said “yes very annoying”
I’m sure the narrator is lovely but her voice for this character ruined it for me.
Maybe I would have got more into the story if it were not for that. Had to give up on n this one in the end, could not keep going with that voice.

Problems with the actor.
This is a good book and generally I enjoyed the work of the narrator, voice actor. There are two female characters J and N. Sometimes it was impossible to determine if the narrator was playing J or N?
No change of voice, if you missed the chapter heading you lost the plot. Was this J or was it N’s reflections and story? So this spoiled the book for me.
A great story, but the actor was not sufficiently skilled to give each female character a distinctive and different voice.

Good but marred by narrator
I struggled to like Natasha as the voice of the narrator made her sound whinging and despite plot developments I don’t feel her character grew flesh.
I rarely write full reviews but when this is billed as ‘a gripping psychological thriller ‘ I felt I needed to reset expectations.
It is good but not brilliant. Change of narrator would help but I didn’t find it a page turner.

Nasty Nick strikes again!
Oh what a nasty Nick! Selfish, spoilt and pandered to for his every whim. He has it all ... except a child. For years Nick and Jen try including IVF but nothing happens until Nick started an affair with Natasha, three months later he is telling Jen he wants a divorce because he is going to be a father.
It's a tangled web, who do you trust when everyone is lying, all Natasha wants is her daughter back but Nick won't let that happen, he holds all the cards. Its only over his dead body will Emily see her mother again.

So insanely far fetched it didn’t make any sense
So the narration of this book didn’t actually bother me like some other people...HOWEVER THIS BOOK IS SO FAR FETCHED, that it borderline doesn’t make any sense. No one in this book behaves at all like anyone would in the real world which effectively renders the story non sensical and very irritating. You spend the whole book going ‘WHY WHY WOULD ANYONE DO THAT’. The biggest issue for me (and also the main plot point in the whole story) is that we are supposed to believe that this woman’s child and husband vanish into thin air and no one LITERALLY NO ONE does anything about it, not even the police. Regardless of where they’ve gone, at this point they are by all accounts missing people and yet the police do nothing. The main character mopes about missing her daughter (for a large chunk of the book) and yet does absolutely nothing to try and find her, apart from knocking on one door and then turning around as soon as the owner isn’t very forthcoming. THIS WOMANS CHILD HAS VANISHED and all she can do is be sad and polite to people. The book keeps describing how desperate she is but then she doesn’t actually do anything to make us feel the desperation. I normally finish audio books in a week and this one took me over a month and I had to listen to pod casts in between to stop being so irritated with the main character and story line. I borderline can’t believe any publishing house or anyone for that matter didn’t read this book before it came out and be like ‘nope sorry doesn’t make any sense we can’t publish this’

So many twists and turns that it keeps you guessing until the very end!
I listened to it as an audiobook and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I quite enjoyed how it goes back and forth from the past to the present. I did not pick the ending at all! Although you try and guess the plots and twists, the way it is written makes it too hard. A great read!

Another great psych thriller
I enjoy this chenre so of course I enjoyed this story. Abit far fetched... as in not very likely coincedences but still a good yarn. Recommend.
