About this listen

Your new husband has a shocking secret. Would your mother-in-law kill to protect it?

From the moment I meet my new mother-in-law in her beautiful country house, she makes it clear I’m not welcome. Lilian Fletcher hates me for marrying her precious boy on a golden beach far away from her.

Starting our marriage living in the Fletchers’ family home is a nightmare. Then I discover Seb was married before and his first wife is dead. I wonder why the man I love didn’t tell me the truth. And I wonder what happened to her: the woman who came before me. How did she die?

Lilian’s steely blue gaze follows me everywhere. Then the accidents start to happen, and I know she is behind them. It starts with small things, like a dropped birthday cake, a spilt glass of wine. But then my mother-in-law accuses me of something terrible. This woman is determined to get me out of her son’s life.

Now I wish I’d never met my handsome, clever husband. Or come to this luxurious house that feels more like a prison.

But I have secrets too. And no-one knows who I really am….

From the USA Today best-selling author, this totally addictive psychological thriller will keep you guessing all the way to the final shocking twist. Perfect for fans of The Girl on the Train, Gone Girl and The Wife Between Us.

Thoroughly enjoyed this! Katie completely made this book and i LOVE when i see a book I really want and it’s Katie who is the narrator. She is one of my favourite narrator’s. She is definitely up there in the top 10💯👏🏽 This story keeps you gripped right through and you need to know what happens next. I jump from book to book usually and im VERY fussy and I don’t get gripped easily. I only leave reviews if i have enjoyed a book LOTS, and i don’t leave reviews if i don’t like a book and return it because there’s not such a thing as a bad book as they say😊 everyone has different likes and dislikes. I also feel really sorry for author’s who get so much nasty things said in reviews ☹️it’s just not needed! I highly recommend this book, you will be hooked straight away and you will never guess the twists or the ACTUAL story🤗 I never seen any the twists coming which i LOVE when im wrong or i didn’t even think there was a twist 😲🤣 so thank you Shalini for an AMAZING book!💯👏🏽 i will be looking for more of your books right now thank you🥰😊 Thank you Katie Villa once again for ANOTHER book that you read so so BRILLIANT, you have an AMAZING talent!!💯💯👏🏽👏🏽 Thank you audible for another AMAZING BRILLIANT book! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️❤️❤️xxxx *add on…. I have just seen that Katie Villa is the narrator is just about all your books, and i am DELIGHTED about this🤗🙌🏽 i think every single book i like the sound of so i am about to buy more NOW🤗💃🏻 I have read one of your books and i LOVED it! On to my next Shalini book🤗😊

Absolutely BRILLIANT 💯👏🏽Katie is one of the top narrator’s💯👏🏽

Huge fan of Shalini Bolands books but this one was too predictable, you guess who it is very early in the book by they behave.

predictable

I did enjoy this and as all Shalini's books there was a great big twist at the end. Brilliantly narrated by Katie Villa as she has such an adaptable voice to different accents.
The story kept me interested so would recommend

A good listen

Rarely do you encounter something that leaves you stunned but the twist in this one was brilliant, such a shame the last 20% of the book fell away so badly

Fantastic twist which left you feeling WOW
