About this listen

Someone's getting married. Someone's getting murdered.

In a dark, dark wood

Nora hasn't seen Clare for 10 years. Not since Nora walked out of school one day and never went back.

There was a dark, dark house

Until, out of the blue, an invitation to Clare’s hen do arrives. Is this a chance for Nora to finally put her past behind her?

And in the dark, dark house, there was a dark, dark room

But something goes wrong. Very wrong.

And in the dark, dark room....

Some things can’t stay secret forever.

Great and unpredictable

Really great book, there were quite a few moments where I thought I knew what the plot twist was going to be but I was happy that it wasn't that obvious. I loved Imogens narration, the only thing that brought me out of the story was that towards the end the main characters inner dialogue started to sound the same as another characters voice.

Easy listening

Narrator did an excellent job, usually struggle with accents in audio books, but Imogen was great. Storyline was great and moved fast

Good story but predictable twists

Enjoyed this story, it’s well told and the narrator is great. Devoured it over two days. Only problem for me was that every single twist and turn was predictable. It won’t leave you guessing whodunnit, how and why... but it’s an entertaining ride.

The 20's chapters could be seriously condensed

It reaaaalllllyy drags towards the mid/end. You could skip a chapter or two and miss absolutely nothing new. That said, the performance was great, each character had their own voice.

Another great read

A great story about friends, betrayal & jealousy. Not overly exciting or difficult to figure out but enjoyable nonetheless

Interesting

This one was a good read but was very predictable. I had guessed the twist near the beginning.

Hmmmmm

This book is not really for me, but great narration! The pacing wasn't very good, the beginning was slow and suspenseful, but the ending was rushed.
