About this listen

One evening as the sun is setting, Amelia Madison’s car slides into the sea off Mason’s Pier. Her body is never found.

Two years later, Elena Langdon meets Nicholas Madison. She is grieving the loss of her mother, he is grieving for his wife. Together, they can help each other.

Now, Elena is living with Nicholas. But Elena doesn’t really know him. She doesn’t know what he is capable of. And she doesn’t know what really happened to Amelia.

Until the day she discovers the torn page of a letter and the words she reads chill her to the bone.

Elena must find the person who wrote these letters if she is to save herself.

A totally breathtaking pause-resister about the darker side of love and what really goes on behind closed doors. This audiobook will have you gripped from the very first moment until the dramatic final twist.

Critic reviews

"Entertaining and highly thought-provoking." (Closer Magazine)

"This page-turner is gripping, all the more because it presents the dilemmas of betrayal with brutal honesty." (Irish Independent)

"This well-crafted and compelling story traces the deceits which begin unnoticed but end in the destruction of friendships and lives." (The Irish Times)

I’ve never written a review before, but I nearly got put off listening to this book as I read the review of someone who didn’t like it. I LOVED it! Great characters, totally believable development of toxic relationships and great story. It gave me an insight I hadn’t had before about the insidious manipulation of a person’s identity and sanity which make them feel powerless and unable to leave a relationship despite its destructive or deadly threat to their well-being. I also liked the love from beyond the grave which all of us who have lost someone very close have felt in some way. The performances were faultless and I couldn’t stop listening. Brilliant book.
