About this listen
The much-anticipated gripping thriller from the bestselling author of The Girl Before—pre-order now!
The child you never knew
knows all your secrets....
Out of the blue, Susie Jones is contacted on social media by Anna, the girl she gave up for adoption fifteen years ago.
But when they meet, Anna's home life sounds distinctly strange to Susie and her husband Gabe. And when Anna's adoptive parents seem to overreact to the fact she contacted them at all, Susie becomes convinced that Anna needs her help.
But is Anna's own behaviour simply what you'd expect from someone recovering from a traumatic childhood? Or are there other secrets at play here - secrets Susie has also been hiding for the last 15 years?

only thing that annoyed me on the audio book was Suzy's voicing of Gabe. As there was an actor reading Gabe's chapters, why wasn't his voice used when his words are being spoken, and same with all those characters who had their own actors voices?
Gripping story with many twists and turns.

Sigh ... domestic dramas are not my thing and it has to be a really excellent thriller for me to get onboard for endless parenting be it toddlers or teens or anything in between.
Sadly, though it began in an intriguing way - interesting enough for me to mention the premise to my husband who immediately guessed the twist - it soon became far from enjoyable and as predicted by my husband's prediction ... very predictable.
I imagine parenting a teen is very challenging. I read for escape. relaxation and fabulous twisty plots that get my mind whirring and I can really get absorbed by. This was just wearing and seemed endless. I listened but it was more like some poor friend pouring out their woes than a thriller.
Plus hated the way the dog was referred to as a rescue "mutt". Though of course better than the endless books of people wanting a dog and then running out and buying one while so many fabulous dogs in shelters are literally dying for a loving home.
Anyway, I digress, but yes I found myself tuning out and chapters rolling by as I mused on more pleasant and entertaining topics. I also am not keen on men writing endlessly and in details about women's reproductive issues as find it just a bit creepy.
I don't know what happened to author JP but I fear we are just following their life ... first off single girl - then wife - next toddler - now teen - maybe I will wait until the interest in child rearing days and domestic drama is over and tune in again for midlife crisis and perhaps the elder years but this is just a penance to listen to.
I did not hang about to discover what happened in the end, so many pregnancies/miscarriages, drugs, runaways, school stuff, safeguarding and social workers, I tuned out and decided to practice "Safeguarding" myself and return the book as soon as a pet rabbit's hutch was burned presumably with the rabbit in it though that was never mentioned one way or the other which although of course fiction, seemed rather callous - but then what would I expect from an author who refers to dogs as mutts.
Please JP, revisit your earlier work, get your mind off parenting and dishwater dull domestic settings and give us some of the fabulous fire and twisty, dark plotting of yesteryear, "The Girl Before" was a showstopper and one of my top 5 favourite books of all time - "The Perfect Wife" really was an amazing triumph, mind expanding and totally thrilling but this does not even feel like it was written by the same person :-(
Returning.
