Publisher's summary

I cast my eyes over the impressive meal I’ve cooked and the half-empty crystal wine glasses. As our guests smile graciously, I squeeze my husband’s shoulder. It’s vital I get his friends to like me. To believe this version of me. Because I’ll do anything to stop them learning the truth…

Ever since I met my handsome husband Dr Gabe Bonneville, I started playing the role of the perfect housewife. He works hard as a surgeon, so I look after our home, and throw elaborate dinner parties with champagne cocktails for his best friends Hugh and Anita. He’s my safe place and my chance to have the family I’ve always wanted.

I’ve managed to hide the mornings when I wake up and see a face in the shadows. I haven’t told Gabe the truth about the woman who raised me, or told him about the therapy I’ve been getting so my secrets stay hidden in the dark. I haven’t questioned his past so he doesn’t ask about mine. I see the way Anita looks at him sometimes, but I’ll never say a word.

Until the letter arrives at the front door. The beautiful, expensive card shakes in my hand as I read the neat black handwriting.

Someone knows I’m not just a housewife. And the lies I’ve told will be all that’s left when I disappear…

The characters.

Awesome book, another hit with Dan Riley. Her books never disappoint and this one keeps you guessing until the last few chapters.

I can’t get enough!!

Another title in the series I absolutely devoured by this author. And the narration was performed flawlessly once again. From someone who listens to 100+ books per year, this series is not only one of the very few that I have ever reviewed, but also one that I will absolutely recommend to others. Brilliant.

Sad to see it all end

Another great novel by Anna-Lou Weatherley and such a great addition to this series. What is even better, was that it was included for free with my Plus Catalog. So that makes me like it GREAT in my opinion :^)

I'm sad to see that this is the last in this series. Hopefully some day, she'll write another one, so we can see how things turn out for detective Riley and his partner.

Not too exciting

Not a bad listen, or a great one. I expected a bigger twist. Not awful though.

Invested in the Characters

I did think it started out a bit slow; but once I got over that humo I enjoyed it. I was invested in the story and the characters.
