About this listen

That’s what he wants you to think…

A good mother doesn’t forget things.

A good mother isn’t a danger to herself.

A good mother isn’t a danger to her baby.

You want to be the good mother you dreamed you could be.

But you’re not. You’re the bad mother you were destined to become.

At least, that what he wants you to believe…

©2018 Amanda Brooke (P)2018 HarperCollins Publishers Limited Family Life Genre Fiction Psychological Suspense Thriller & Suspense Women's Fiction Fiction

excellent storyline

I loved this audiobook from the very start, it kept my attention throughout and I couldn't wait for my daily commute to work to get lost in the story again

Horrendous

This is THE worst book I have read. The story is slow, boring and predictable. There was nothing thrilling and there was certainly no suspense. This is a book about how pathetic and weak a person can be and the ending certainly confirmed it.

Good narration

I kind of enjoyed this at the start but it dragged out and there was no mystery. You knew right from the start who was doing what and you just had a repetition of it all. I didn’t like the main character even though you were meant to have sympathy for her. Her husband was a monster but it all got so far fetched and I didn’t care about any of the characters apart from the baby and the cat.
