About this listen

A totally gripping and pulse-pounding psychological thriller

I have three days to kill a patient. If I fail, my daughter will die…

As the only doctor on a stunning remote Scottish island, I finally feel safe and happy. Here, nobody knows about my troubled past except my teenage daughter Lauren. I'm a single mother, so it’s just the two of us now, and Lauren is my world.

Caring for every person on the island, from birth to death, I know all their fears and secrets. But they don’t know mine, and for the sake of my daughter, I must keep it that way…

Everything is going perfectly until I am sent a link to a live video stream of my beautiful daughter Lauren, her wide blue eyes terrified. And there’s a voice:

‘Three rules. Three days.

You must murder one of your patients.

You must not tell another soul.

You must not get caught.

If you fail, your daughter dies…’

A jaw-dropping psychological thriller from multi-million copy bestseller J M Dalgliesh. This utterly addictive, pulse-pounding listen is packed with twists you’ll never forget. Perfect for anyone who loves Freida McFadden, Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train.

JM Dalgliesh is a great writer and this is yet another really good story.

Great book

I love the setting for this story and was looking forward to the suspense and mystery building. But I just could not listen to this woman beyond the first few chapter! The general tone of her voice makes her sound like she's a little tipsy and flirting, which is not the described scenario. But as it went on I found myself unable to concentrate on the story because all I could do was imagine her installed at her Mic and totally hamming it up!
I have listened to over 400 audible books and I may have been spoiled by the talent of my most frequent narrators! Little known authors may have to find their way when choosing a narrator. However J.M Dalgliesh is a class act and deserves better than this!

Couldn't continue listening with this narrator!
