About this listen

When the rules turn deadly, winning is everything.

Only available from Audible, a gripping psychological thriller from the author of Silent Child, Saving April, and The Broken Ones. Perfect for fans of Gillian Flynn, Lisa Jewell and Paula Hawkins.

This gripping multi-voice audiobook features Billie Piper as Effie, Dan Stevens as Ben, Shane Zaza as David, and Avita Jay as Sophie, other roles are played by Felicity Duncan, David Holt and Sarah Whitehouse.

The perfect couple. The perfect marriage. The perfect game.

Effie and Ben May have everything. Success. Beauty. Glamour. But beneath the charming smiles and expensive clothes, a twisted game is in progress.

A game for which only they know the rules.

Leaving their fast-paced London life behind them, the Mays move to the exclusive gated community of Ivy Oaks. Here they can settle down and start a family in this quiet, safe little neighbourhood. At least, that’s what they tell their new neighbours.

But the truth has deadly consequences.

While Effie and Ben scheme and manipulate those around them, they fail to notice their carefully cultivated façade crumbling away. The perfect couple soon turn the game on each other, breaking all the rules. But when the stakes are life and death, losing isn’t an option.

As the final cards are dealt, who will play the winning hand and who will pay the ultimate price?

Engaging start to finish

I thought this was a great story, felt that they were nice performances and overall very enjoyable. Finished in one day! The power of manipulation is a fascinating topic.

Brilliant and original story with a twisty plot

Narration was great, the story unfolded very well and was addictive! Different to the usual thrillers these days. Very enjoyable.

Absolutely hooked!

I loved the readers, the plot, just a lovely listen.
A good choice for anyone, I think. A bit of mystery, romance, scandal and murder.

Gripping from the start.

I was gripped from the start. Twisted story. I have never listened to anything like it before which was refreshing. Never once worked out what was coming next. I would highly recommend this book. The audible version was excellent.
