About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
The chilling Sunday Times bestseller perfect for fans of Knives Out. A Richard & Judy Book Club pick.
The new unputdownable thriller from the multi-million-copy bestselling author of THE COUPLE NEXT DOOR.
In this family, everyone is keeping secrets - even the dead.
In the quiet, wealthy enclave of Brecken Hill, an older couple is brutally murdered hours after a tense Easter dinner with their three adult children. Who, of course, are devastated.
Or are they? They each stand to inherit millions. They were never a happy family, thanks to their vindictive father and neglectful mother, but perhaps one of them is more disturbed than anyone knew. Did someone snap after that dreadful evening? Or did another person appear later that night with the worst of intentions? That must be what happened. After all, if one of the family were capable of something as gruesome as this, you'd know.
Wouldn't you?

Tricky
Initially I was going to give up on this one as the story told itself through the characters who appeared to have little substance.. however enough initial twists were used to gain my attention.

Great book but ending fell flat
I give the book 5 stars until the end. I was absolutely engrossed, could not stop listening. The narrator did a great job. But the ending fell flat. There was no twist and I was a bit disappointed. Would recommend though!

So many twists
Just when you think you’ve worked it out, another twist. It was a great listen.

Suspenseful
Although I couldn’t put this book down, I did get annoyed with how the author dragged the story out
