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…

A very nice book.....you feel good listening to it. Although in the end it is predictable...yet you feel engaged till the end.

Good Story, nicely told

The plot twist was predictable, probably because thrillers amd mysteries are all I read/listen to/watch - nothing comes as a surprise anymore 😉 However, the narrator has done an outstanding job, bringing the author's words to life with an amazingly emotive performance. A very enjoyable listen!

Predictable, yet gripping!

I listened to the whole thing while embroidering a cover. The book was good yet tested my patience at time. The plot was easy to figure out so I got really impatient waiting for the characters to catch up. The narration was near perfect otherwise i doubt i would have actually picked up the book.

Easy and Fun
