About this listen

Don’t miss this totally gripping psychological crime thriller, guaranteed to have listeners up all night! Perfect for fans of Frieda McFadden, Daniel Hurst and Lisa Jewell.

Would you invite a stranger in?

When Megan loses her beloved husband in a tragic car accident, she feels like it’s her own life that has ended. She feels too young to be a widow. Walking around the house that had been their home – so quiet without him – nothing feels the same.

But at his funeral, she sees a person she doesn’t know. The heavily-pregnant young woman introduces herself as Emily, her husband’s estranged sister. She explains how she’s been searching for her brother for years, but – as she bursts into noisy sobs – she knows she’s too late now.

Megan finds herself taking pity on the sister-in-law she’d never met. And quickly Emily becomes more and more a part of her life, even moving into the spare room of her house.

It feels less empty than before, which at first is comforting to Megan. But – even when it’s a relative of the man you loved more than anyone – can you trust a stranger?

Excellent plot!

I love a book where I can't predict the ending and this was one of those books! Plenty of twists and turns, believable characters and excellent storyline. Narration was spot on too. I love Joanne Ryan's books and this latest one didn't disappoint! 😊
