By: Shalini Boland

Narrated by: Katie Villa

"Daddy has been lying."

Faye Townsend has planned the perfect summer trip for her family. But returning to the small seaside town her husband grew up in does not go to plan - the rain pours, and the long days become stifling. And then the unthinkable happens....

Her husband, Jake, and her six-year-old son, Dylan, go for an early morning walk along the beautiful, windswept clifftops. They don’t come back.

As the hours tick by, Dylan’s red baseball cap is found on the beach, and Faye finds herself being questioned by the police. They want to know everything about the man she married - is Faye ready to face her husband’s dark past? Or will she have to confront her own secrets first?

And just how far will a mother go to save her only child?

From the million-copy best-selling author of The Secret Mother and The Perfect Family, this utterly gripping psychological thriller will make you gasp out loud as you race toward the unforgettable twist. If you loved The Girl on the Train and The Wife Before You this book is for you.

superb

all of Shalini Boland's book are excellent but this is perhaps her best. So many twists and turns well placed and believable. A must read for those who enjoy a thriller without excessive violence

A totally enthralling read!

I love this author! I love this narrator! I hope Shalini Boland never stops writing…and I hope that Katie Villa keeps narrating! I’m onto the next book! Thank you for a thrilling story with a victorious ending! Okay

Great read

Gripping and an overall thriller. Couldn't have predicted the ending at all. 10/10 read

Superb

Absolutely love all the books I’ve listened to and the narrator did a fantastic job telling the story

Not too bad - but not very memorable!

I enjoyed this book - narration was fine - story was good - nothing that ever made me gasp or keep me on the edge of my seat or anything close - but still good!
I liked this book because I was able to listen without being forced to pay attention 100% - yet still keep up! I enjoy that type of writing. Young Adult, I suppose some would say. Simpleton story lines - or immature as others may put it.
However, there are times when I just want to listen to a story without committing my full undivided attention to it and still enjoy it.... and this did just that! It was worth the credit or purchase (however I obtained it) and that is why I will continue collecting her books! Yes, I recommend!
