Summary

The next must-listen thriller from Sunday Times bestselling author Richard Madeley

When Nick Wychwood loses his wife Elise in a shocking accident, he is left to bring up their daughter Lucy on his own. A move from Cornwall to the Cotswolds should give them the fresh start that they need, a tranquil setting where they can put tragedy behind them and forge new friendships.

But Lucy, as a teenager, is fragile, vulnerable, easily led… She is shy and hesitant. When someone offers her their shoulder, the warmth and understanding, even love, that she thinks she needs, she is readily accepting.

But this ‘someone’ is online, cajoling, manipulative, uncontrollable, and setting a devastating trap…

The story.

It’s read in a straight to the point way. It keeps you listening and although the storyline is dark it’s relevant to today’s world. Very good book.

My first Richard Madeley title. Another new author to add to my collections.

This was fantastic. Loved it right from the start to the very end. Couldn’t stop listening. Binge listened in 24 hours. I’ve purchased the rest of the authors books ready to listen to. I do hope he carries on writing in the very near future. Awarded this title a full 5 stars for overall,performance and story. It was so good. Kept me gripped. Well done Mr M. Excellent.

An unusual but brilliant murder story

I don’t want to give any spoilers but I can say it gets more riveting the more you read.

Captivating

Well who knew Mr. Madeley had this kind of twisted imagination. It’s amazing for all the wrong reasons. Meaning I couldn’t stop listening and needing to find out what happened next in this harrowing tale. The description and voice of the main character were spot on. I knew just the type but mine had the added belly hair on the overhang and builders bum. And the Dad was Madeley himself due to the language used. I really enjoyed this book and I’m glad I caught him promoting it on ‘This Morning’. I wasn’t aware Richard wrote books, so I am pleasantly surprised at this one. I’m definitely a big fan now and will be looking for more. Highly recommend.

believable story and such good narration

I thoroughly enjoyed both the story and exceedingly good narration. 15 word minimum is unnecessary.

Father’s day is a story that any parent can relate to

Well written, unapologetic unsentimental and honest….. simply one man doing what has to be done to stop a monster and make him pay.
