About this listen

One dark secret. One act of revenge.

When Emma Joseph met her husband, David, he was a man shattered by grief. His first wife had been killed outright when her car veered off the road. Just as tragically, their six-year-old daughter mysteriously vanished from the scene of the accident.

Now, six years later, Emma believes the painful years are behind them. She and David have built a new life together and have a beautiful baby son, Ollie.

Then a stranger walks into their lives, and their world tilts on its axis. Emma's life no longer feels secure. Does she know what really happened all those years ago? And why does she feel so frightened for herself and for her baby?

When a desperate Emma reaches out to her old friend, DCI Tom Douglas, for help, she puts all their lives in jeopardy. Before long, a web of deceit is revealed that shocks both Emma and Tom to the core.

#SPOILER ALERT#

The sheer number of times dead brother gets brought up is a giveaway that he's not dead, sorry Rachel, but come on! Captain bloody obvious couldn't have done a better job 😋

And the name Mel was obviously gonna be Melissa, though I didn't get the Ethan/Guy connection, I do tend to pop an audiobook on my phone to help me drop off, so perhaps I didn't rewind enough and missed a bit?

The finale was a bit of a tear jerker though. Emma couldn't hate Tasha, it's not in her nature.

I've got "Nowhere Child" to listen to next, I hope there are less tears and more answers, Ms Abbott. My guess is the opposite 😎

Bit of a slow start but soon picks up pace

I'm really enjoying this series of audio books but do wish that the narrator remained the same throughout!

Great series

This book kept my attention all the way through. Really enjoyed the journey it takes you on. Disappointed with the last chapter

Great book!

This was a complicated story, most of the characters were well drawn. The parts that didn’t ring true for me were the ones describing Tom and his brother’s past relationship. Also the ransom demand and it’s execution. Apart from that I enjoyed the story and narration.

Bit implausible

Kept me hooked from the first chapter. This has got to be favourite of Rachel Abbott's books. I also enjoy the narration. Only slight criticism is when Emma lost Olly. I think she was a little too calm perhaps? But brilliant story line. Thank you
