You think you know the truth about the people you love. But one discovery can change everything....

Eight-year-old Billy goes missing one day, out flying his kite with his sister Rose. Two days later he is found dead.

Sixteen years on, Rose still blames herself for Billy's death. How could she have failed to protect her little brother?

But one day Ronnie falls ill, and Rose goes next door to help him...and what she finds in his attic room turns her world upside down.

Get to the end quick

It was ok .. quick read ... I just needed to get to the end at some point between chapter 51-72 ..

slow burn thriller

I was in anticipation about when the climax was going to happen. But before I knew it, so much stuff has happened. it's only when looking back I saw everything put together. Defiently a casual mystery.

Sweet Revenge!

This was an enjoyable read for me. The characters were well developed, kept me guessing throughout and the ending was absolutely perfect.

Manipulators

If you’ve dealt with manipulative people this book may take you back in time to when you were experiencing similar events, at least in part. Just in case you needed a reminder that these people are all generally the same, and truly are evil to the core. Definitely a great read and an interesting story, at first keeping track of where you are in time is a bit confusing but once you understand the story in general everything makes sense. Highly recommend!

A Must listen

If you could sum up The Mistake in three words, what would they be?

Couldn’t Stop Listening

What other book might you compare The Mistake to and why?

“The Life We Bury”

Have you listened to any of Lucy Price-Lewis’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This was the first book I’ve hear her perform, but it will not be the last, she’s wonderful

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

No, I just couldn’t wait to hear what happed next.

Any additional comments?

I am usually never surprised by a mystery, but I don’t care as long as the reader & story keep me Interested , this book kept me interested and actually surprised me.

Too long, could have been a 2 hour novella

Narration was excellent but the story was repetitive and boring. It would have made a good short story but it was dragged out for hours longer than needed. I was able to speed past about 10 chapters, listen for a bit, speed past a few more chapters and then just go to the Last few chapters without missing anything important.

nice twist at the end

this boolk was excellent. the narrator really made the biok come alive. i felt at the middle of the book that i knew who the killer was but a twist at the end was a suprise

So suspenseful!

Loved the narrator and all her different voices! Started out a bit slow, but glad I kept with it. So suspenseful and twisted. Never guessed who killed Billy...what a surprise ending!

predictable but interesting.

I really enjoyed the ending, I was very satisfied even though the story itself was relatively predictable.

I loved this book.

great read. suspenseful throughout with an unexpected twist at the end. enjoyed the audio version as I travel alot
