About this listen

‘Her best book yet’ – Harlan Coben, author of Fool Me Once

The million-copy bestselling Queen of Twists, Alice Feeney, returns with a gripping and deliciously dark thriller about marriage . . . and revenge.

Author Grady Green is having the worst best day of his life.

Grady calls his wife as she’s driving home to share some exciting news. He hears Abby slam on the brakes, get out of the car, then nothing. When he eventually finds her car by a cliff edge, the headlights are on, the driver door is open, her phone is still there . . . but his wife has disappeared.

A year later, Grady is still overcome with grief and desperate to know what happened to Abby. He can’t sleep, and he can’t write, so he travels to a tiny Scottish island to try to get his life back on track. Then he sees the impossible: a woman who looks exactly like his missing wife.

Wives think their husbands will change, but they don’t.
Husbands think their wives won’t change, but they do.


‘Magnetic and jaw-dropping’ – Mary Kubica, bestselling author of Local Woman Missing

‘Unforgettable’ – Chris Whitaker, bestselling author of We Begin at the End

Excellent story and performances

This one had me by the neck from the first chapter. Fabulous mixture of thrills, horror, emotion, and even a few laughs. I want to live on the island, please. Sequel?

Brilliant

Another excellent book by Alice Feeney. Twisty and thrilling. Read this - you won't be disappointed. And get all her books, equally great.

Not bad

I wasn't sure I was liking the story so I got online to see what others thought. I found out what the twist was by accident, however knowing the twist beforehand made the story/plot much more enjoyable. so if you're struggling with it, I reccomend spoiling yourself.

Richard Armitage and Tuppence Middleton were perfection.

Wasn’t too ugly

Fast paced and really kept me entertained , glad I went with the audible version or I may have found it less enjoyable, pretty tame for a thriller

Wow - ending with a difference

Always enjoy Richard Armitage narrations. Story was quite different, a little confusing at times, and the ending, most unexpected.

I rolled my eyes too many times

I sighed, eye rolled and scoffed so many times during this. Several times I nearly just gave in.
It’s fine to listen to but the story is rather far fetched.

The narration was A1 along with the accents and subtle background sounds

Final act leaves perhaps a little up to interpretation which could also be seen as a good thing. I’ll definitely be doing some deep diving into it to get some further clarity between what was and wasn’t the protagonists’s own imagination / reality

I finished this audiobook in 3 days, I legitimately couldn’t stop listening.

I loved everything about this book and desperately want to visit this island in Scotland, Alice describes it so well on her writing.
