Just when you think you know what's happening in this book, POV changes and you've got a new idea of what is happening. It keeps your attention for sure! I could not stop listening because I wanted to know what the truth was and who, if anyone, you can trust! If you like a thriller with lots of twists and turns, give this book a read/listen! It's also a good view at human nature and what lengths one goes to protect themselves.

This was my 2nd novel by this author and I throughly enjoyed this one.

❓If someone showed up at your door claiming to have proof they are a relative would you automatically let them enter your home?

Alexis how’s up at the doorstep of Hugh and Juliet’s home on a family estate. Trust becomes an issue quickly as Juliet believes Alexis has ulterior motives and is a little too friendly with her husband.

This novel has it all. Deceit, secrets, twists, and so much more. I love reading a novel when you wonder what the heck is next!

Thanks to the author and netgalley for the advanced audio copy of this one. It did not disappoint

Well, well, well what can I say? Firstly I knew from the time I read the synopsis this book was going to be a bit of me, I couldn't stop myself listening to this and I listened to it in one sitting. I loved it. It was crazy in the way I want every single thriller I read to be.

The writing style was perfect, the narration was perfect and I will be recommending this to everyone I speak to going forward. Good luck on release day.

5 stars

Wow! A stunner of a thriller!

I really loved how the story is told from multiple POVs, but rather than the more commonly used format of alternating chapters, the book is split into parts and we hear from the four main narrators in the various parts of the book.

There is a line in one of my favourite musicals that goes like this; “everyone remembers it how they need to, right?” And that phrase really sums this up. All four have their own agenda, but which one is one step ahead of the rest?

The twists just kept on coming, keeping me gripped and guessing, right up to the end,

A single narrator who did a fantastic job of switching character.

5 ⭐️ Thanks to Netgalley, Alison James and Bookouture for an ARC in return for an honest review.

Thank you so much for the advanced audio book copy. I loved the narration! The writing in this book is beautiful and I love the way the setting is described. It just didn't do it for me. I didn't connect with the characters. They seem rude I guess. Also I love books with different perspectives but this was a lot of the same scenes described from different perspectives with no new information being revealed. I don't know. I guess it just felt off to me and I was a little bored. Not a bad book at all, just not for me.
