Summary

You wake up to find the man beside you is dead. He is not your husband. This is not your bed.

Tara Logan adores her perfect little family: husband, Noah, and two children, teenager Rosie and 11-year-old Spencer. But her happiness is shattered when she wakes in her neighbour Lee Jacobs' bed, with no memory of how she got there or what happened between them. And worse - he has been stabbed to death.

Convinced she didn't kill Lee, Tara flees home and stays silent, holding her breath as the investigation grips the neighbourhood. But as her daughter spirals out of control and her husband becomes increasingly distant, Tara starts to wonder if someone in her own life knows what really happened that night. And when the police turn their questions towards her, Tara realises she has to find out.

But what will it take to uncover the real story, and can she survive the truth? A gripping, shocking psychological thriller, with a twist that will take you by surprise.

Critic reviews

"A hell of a ride. By the time I reached the nail-biting conclusion I was a nervous wreck, the ending has left me speechless...one of my top reads of 2016. Five stars out of five from me. (I would rate it higher if I could)." ( The Book Review Cafe)

Very enjoyable and well read.

A well thought out and well read, I don't usually like female narrators but this one did all the voices, had good diction and sincerity in her voice.

Good Story

The story is very easy to listen to and it keeps you guessing all the way through. A very intriguing book if you like mystery psychological thrillers.

A proper thriller

I couldn’t put this down. Beautifully characterised by Julie Maisey, an excellent thriller with a number of twists and turns and a quite unexpected finale.

couldn't put it down

Superb story couldn't put it down.
Thoroughly engrossing characters and situation.
Lot's of possibilities for the murderer but I didn't guess who.
I can recommend this very well constructed tale.
Enjoy!

Loved it

I loved this book it wasn't gruesome a nice little whodunit I couldn't put it down. The narrator Julie Maisey was just right as well, most narrators seem too go near the microphone at some point in the story making the tone awful to listen to but Julie was just right through out. I would highly recommend this book.
