We said to keep it a secret, that no one needed to know.

Astrid is newly sober and trying to turn her life around. Having reluctantly moved back in with her mother, in a quiet seaside town away from the temptations and darkness of her previous life , she is focusing on her recovery. She’s going to meetings. Confessing her misdeeds. Making amends to those she’s wronged. If she fills her days, maybe she can outrun the ghosts that haunt her. Maybe she can start anew.

But someone is tormenting me now. Someone knows where I am and what I’ve done.

Someone knows exactly what Astrid is running from. And they won’t stop until she learns that some mistakes can’t be corrected. Some mistakes, you have to pay for . . .

The question is: Who did you tell?

Critic reviews

Praise for The Rumor

“Keeps you guessing until the final page.”—Paula Hawkins, author of The Girl on the Train

“Everyone is going be talking about The Rumor.”—Shari Lapena, author of The Couple Next Door

“A roller-coaster ride to the very last sentence.”—Fiona Barton, author of The Widow

Heartbreaking and Suspenseful

I found the writing about addiction to be powerful and I did not see some of the twists and turns coming that this story took. Job well done.

I loved it!

Reading through the reviews on this before getting the book as part of a "twofer," I noted that the reviews were divided; that only furthered my interest. This author writes like she knows a thing or two about a thing or two about alcoholism/addiction. Yes, some spots dragged, but having been new to sobriety before, it only made the story more authentic. The second half of the book nailed it! I'd spend the credit and the time!

Great story

Lots of twists and turns in this one! At times, it seemed that every character could be guilty of something. And, although I don’t have the affliction, I think it must explain and understand alcoholism or addiction in a very specific way. It quickly reached the point where I couldn’t put it down!

Surprisingly good!

I was all set to hate this one, but surprise! It was actually pretty good! It is true that the protagonist is very flawed and makes nothing but bad decisions over and over again. She dug her own grave with her constant lying, so it was hard to sympathize. The romance that develops is also heavy on the cheese, it was predictable and uninspired. Despite these obvious flaws, I still found this story to be entertaining and well-written. I found myself unable to stop listening and was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. There are surprises and plot twists that will keep you intrigued right up to the very end. If you enjoy a good thriller set in a lovely English seaside town, give this one a try. I'd definitely recommend it!

Not worth the credit, but I won’t return it

Not much of a storyline here. Hard to finish, but made it through after a time. The narrator was not my favorite. Rather dull and seemed to struggle a bit with different characters. Won’t do more of this one
