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.'

Do not read this book – listen to it!
As it often in the case, Stephanie Racine's performance takes a really good book and elevates it to superlative. The excellent storytelling techniques, going back-and-forth between first person and third person to weave it's twisty tale, is brought from the third into the fourth dimension of brilliance by this extraordinary performer.

Not for me
The book moved a bit slow to start and I wasn’t the biggest fan of the narration, but for me the worst part was the ending. It frustrates me when evil wins.
I feel I need a sequel to set the world right again.
