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…

An excellent story!

This is the best one in the series by far. The other books have all been amazing and this one is even better. The author is fantastic. The writing was fantastic. Dan’s character comes through remarkably in this book. The narration is awesome too. Don’t won’t give anything away in this review. A gripping listen and an emotional roller coaster for the listener. Highly recommend and can not wait for the next one in the series. Really hope there will be another book.

Enjoyable if improbable

Excellent narration. Story was well far fetched, but hey, that’s why they call it fiction. An enjoyable yarn with a memorable detective that I would love to hear more of.

Just as great!

Love this series & each one doesn't disappoint! Still has the credible story lines, great twists & suspense without any real gory bits! Great storytelling & made all the better by the Narrator too. Will eagerly await the next one!
