About this listen

From Chris Brookmyre, winner of the Theakstons and McIllvanney awards for Black Widow, comes a standalone psychological thriller full of twists, lies and betrayal.

One family, two holidays, one devastating secret. To new nanny Amanda, the Temple family seem to have it all: the former actress; the famous professor; their three successful grown-up children.

But like any family, beneath the smiles and hugs there lurks far darker emotions.

Sixteen years earlier, little Niamh Temple died while they were on holiday in Portugal. Now, as Amanda joins the family for a reunion at their seaside villa, she begins to suspect one of them might be hiding something terrible.... And suspicion is a dangerous thing.

I read this in 2019 but, although I knew I had enjoyed it, I had forgotten a lot of the plot. Christopher Brookmyre has never written a bad book, and this doesn't disappoint. The story is wonderful. poignant, empathic, gripping, sad, with a well thought out plot and ending. Cathleen McCarron's narration is superb and really enhances the story.
This works as a stand alone novel, but also nicely includes a nod to another well loved Brookmyre character.
I can't praise this highly enough. I'm looking forward to listening to it again in a couple of years time.

Gosh I wasn't expecting to like this book as much as I did. It was riveting with a couple of good twists near the end.

Excellent

I really enjoyed this story, and the narration was brilliant! She really captured each character with different voices and accents which I loved as it helped to remember who each person was as I sometimes struggle with this with audiobooks if there are a lot of characters to remember. Tough to listen to the story in some parts but you really empathised with the main characters and I enjoyed the twist at the end and how it rounded off.

Didn’t want to put it down!

Great summer listen.

Not sure if it was because the narrator's voice was too high pitched or the story was just too mixed up to follow.
I gave 3 stars only because I didn't get past 1/3 way; but what I did listen to wasn't much more I'm afraid.

Returned before I finished

The story kept me entertained, lots of twists and turns. The narrator was generally very good, but I did find the Canadian accent very irritating.

Really enjoyed this book
