About this listen

You thought you had escaped him. Until he proposed to your daughter.

"There’s someone I want you to meet," Belle says, as a man draws up to her side. He’s tall with dark hair and stubble on his square jaw. He’s not exactly smiling, but the corner of his mouth curls upwards as he slides his hand around my daughter’s waist.

I grab my husband’s arm to steady myself, as the room spins around me.

I stare into the man’s eyes–jet black. Nothing and everything hidden behind them.

Fear prickles my skin as I remember what he did.

How I only just escaped.

All the lies I’ve had to tell since.

"I want you to meet Jack," Belle says, brimming with excitement. "He’s my fiancé." She rests her head on his shoulder. "Isn’t it exciting? We’re engaged!"

Fear hammers in my chest. I have to stop this.

My daughter’s life is in danger, and it’s all because of me.…
A totally gripping psychological thriller from an Amazon No. 1 best seller that will take you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions and have you gasping at the twists.

This is the first Samantha Hayes book I have listened to but certainly won’t be the last.
Excellent narration by Sarah Durham.
Really gripping story and is a bit dark in places but worth it.
I just wasn’t expecting the twist!

Brilliant with a fab twist

Really enjoyed the pace and vibe of this one, and read superbly as ever by the incomparable Sarah Durham. As a super fan of this genre, I did see some of he twists coming, and the ending felt a little far fetched and complex for my liking, but generally a very good book

More please Ms Hayes!

Very good, though a slightly tricky ending.......

The subject matter consists of every character telling lies, misrepresenting themselves, living with unbearable guilt while keeping terrible secrets. None of them appear to be straightforward and there are some most uncomfortable moments of exciting, I suppose, scenes of violence, prostitution, childbirth and death. There is a complex plot and that is satisfactorily unravelled. It depends on what you enjoy, for me it was all to worrying!

Not an easy listen, very dark

Fantastic story, gripping right to the end.
As always superb narration by Sarah Durham. I devoured this book

Absolutely fabulous

Really got into this book, loved it. Liked the narration and liked how each persons perspective complemented each other. Listened to it more than I have in months, highly recommend.

Loved it!

.......beyond which I just could not take it any longer. We all make mistakes in our younger years and we may all keep a few secrets, but this heroine succeeds in making a real meal of her mistake. She is far from unintelligent and married to a good man and I saw little reason for not coming clean when her past rears up and threatens her beloved daughter. But she doesn't and everything escalates into melodrama and absolute nonsense. 11 plus hours that could have been condensed into 5 and would have proved a much better novel. Stop with the padding, get to the point, stick to it and hold the interest of the listener 'cos this one skipped almost half of the book and was relieved to get to the end ......and I guessed that too. Most unsatisfactory and will be returned forthwith.

Well read and interesting to a point ......

Struggled to get into it at 1st but it's a great storyline. Definitely one I would absolutely recommend!

Brilliant! Well narrated enjoyable storyline

One of my favourites in a long time. I couldn't stop listening. My only disappointment was the way it just ended without finding out what hannah said and without them opening up with each other and being honest. I would love the story to continue into another book though. It felt like it was left on a cliffhanger.

incredible (bit of spoiler)

The story is a bit dragged out and the plot twist was actually predictable
I regretted spending my credit on it

Not sure if I recommend this book

couldn't switch it off, I was hooked. the narrator was great, using different voices for each person, which was great for me so I didn't get list with who was who.

loved every minute
