When the call came it seemed like the answer to my prayers. My career as a voice actor had been over for months and me and my little girl Scarlet were living back at my mum’s place. I felt like a failure professionally—and with Scarlet having problems at school, as a parent as well. So, when I was asked to narrate a new book by disappeared novelist Philippa Roberts I jumped at the chance, even if it meant leaving Scarlet with my ex, Hugo, for a few weeks. Hugo, with his perfect new home and his perfect new girlfriend Saskia. But this isn’t a dream come true. It’s a nightmare.

Publisher's summary
In this thrilling stand-alone from the internationally best-selling author of the Frieda Klein series, a married woman’s affair with her boss spirals into a dangerous game of chess with the police when she discovers he’s been murdered and she clears the crime scene of all evidence.
One little secret between a married woman, her lover, and a killer.
It should have been just a mid-life fling. A guilty indiscretion that Neve Connolly could have weathered. An escape from 20 years of routine marriage to her overworked husband, and from her increasingly distant children. But when Neve pays a morning-after visit to her lover, Saul, and finds him brutally murdered, their pied-à-terre still heady with her perfume, all the lies she has so painstakingly stitched together threaten to unravel.
After scrubbing clean every trace of her existence from Saul’s life - and death - Neve believes she can return to normal, shaken but intact. But she can’t get out of her head the one tormenting question: What was she forgetting?
An investigation into the slaying could provide the answer. It’s brought Detective Chief Inspector Alastair Hitching, and Neve’s worst fears, to her door. But with every new lie, every new misdirection to save herself, Neve descends further into the darkness of her betrayal - and into more danger than she ever imagined. Because Hitching isn’t the only one watching Neve. So is a determined killer who’s about to make the next terrifying move in a deadly affair....

story ok, narrator not
I can't ever finish any books read by this narrator. Every sentence is rushed with no pauses. The entire book is narrated with 2 emotions.... outrage and anger. I would definitely recommend skipping the audio.

Narrator ruined it
It was impossible to listen to, so I don’t know if the story is worth much. It didn’t come across as very well written.The narration was so bad that I returned it. She swallowed her words, ran through sentences and is hands down the worst actress in the world. She sounds like shes at a garden party and is an impatient grande dame. Nails on chalkboard voice.

Terrible narrator
The story intrigued me, but the narrator's performance - hushed whispers, rushed dialogue, and annoying caricatures made this book a horrible listen. Honestly, her version of Mabel's voice had me ripping out the headphones because it was so infuriatingly shrill and cartoonish. I ended up getting a copy from my local library.

Engaging story. Lots of twists and turns
I really enjoyed this story. The characters were believable and so were the relationships. I tried to guess the killer but fun twist at the end made it impossible.

Flawed Plot
I'm a huge fan of Nicci French books, but this one was not her best. The logic and actions of the main character, Neve, as she deals with discovering her murdered lover make no sense and the fact that she's able to deceive the police with such weak cover ups is farfetched. The final reveal of the murderer and their motivation is also really a stretch. That being said, the narrator is good and I was mildly entertained by the book, although frequently frustrated by the direction of the plot.

Stupid main character, disappointing ending
Nicci French books, in my experience, can be either great or complete duds. The writing is always excellent, but the problem with the duds is that the plots are so meandering and the characters' actions are so illogical.
In this one, for instance, the main character has neither the assertiveness to tell someone she barely knows that she can't come to dinner nor the sense, when questioned by the police, to simply stop talking, as she is under no obligation to do so. She also lacks the sense to ever consult an attorney during a weeks-long investigation where she is repeatedly questioned.
For me, the ending was also a disappointment. But if you would still like to give the book a try, just know that this is not really a murder mystery but a ten-hour journey inside this woman's head. Fortunately, she is a likeable character. And as mentioned, the writing is excellent.

There wasn't much to like. The narrator was annoying, the story was ridiculous, and I came to hate the characters. I've enjoyed other books by the authors so this was especially disappointing.

Story
Cass is having a hard time since the night she saw the car in the woods, on the winding rural road, in the middle of a downpour, with the woman sitting inside - the woman who was killed. She's been trying to put the crime out of her mind; what could she have done, really? It's a dangerous road to be on in the middle of a storm. Her husband would be furious if he knew she'd broken her promise not to take that shortcut home. And she probably would only have been hurt herself if she'd stopped.
