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.

Too short but oh....

I wasn't sure where the plot was headed a few times as I was listening and before I knew it the plot peaked and it was over. Boom. Surprise ending. Not enough time to get excited or come up with a few possible theories which I like to do when I'm reading a book like this. I was entertained but for all the wrong reasons.

Such a great read/listen!!

I love thrillers but most stories are so predictable, NOT THIS ONE!!
So well written, definitely a unique story!

wonderful story

I really enjoyed this one, especially at the end. I tried to figure it out, but with no luck.
so happy I made this selection.

Suspense

The unknown of what was going to happen till the very end. Good story. Reader did a great job also.

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
