About this listen

A completely binge-worthy psychological thriller with a heart-pounding twist

I thought my first husband died ten years ago. But now he’s back...

Opening the front door, I’m stunned to see a familiar face. I never thought I’d see Freddie’s deep brown eyes and crooked smile again. But how is this possible when he died ten years ago…?

It took years to move on, but finally my life is almost perfect. I live in a gorgeous house with my handsome second husband Carter, my two daughters and our adorable baby boy. I’ve never stopped missing Freddie or wondering what happened to him. But now he’s here and staring right at me–and my head is spinning with questions.

Then Freddie says, ‘Don’t trust Carter.’ It sends shivers down my spine. Freddie and Carter used to be best friends. So what does he mean? Carter has been my shoulder to cry on, my rock. He’s helped me through the darkest times. I trust him with my life… don’t I?

Who is telling the truth: my first husband or my second husband? And could one of them be behind the threatening notes I’ve been receiving?

I have to make the right choice. My life depends on it…

An absolutely addictive work with heart-pounding twists from beginning to end. Fans of The Woman in the Window, Shari Lapena, Lisa Jewell and The Housemaid won’t be able to put this down!

Good listen but I had guessed the ending by about the middle of the book. Do love this author though, so making with my fav narrator this was a good listen.

I could not put this book down. I stayed up until 03.15 to find out what happened between Alex, Freddie and Carter.

Thinking that her first husband had passed away, Alex and her daughter's lives had moved on in the past ten years since she had last seen Freddie. So when he reappears, she's remarried (his best friend), and they have a son together.

Finding out what made Freddie up and leave was intriguing.

This tale is full of twists and turns, beautifully pulled together by A J McDine.

A worthy five stars.

Book the day off work for this one!

The story is sooooo boring, predictable, and goes round and round in circles. Another story about a boring, tedious, self obsessed woman. The only saving grace was small part narrated by George Weightman that added a note of interest to an otherwise boring, instantly forgettable snooze fest.

Banal nonsense, must be relatives reviewing
