About this listen

From the bestselling author of The Best of Friends comes a heart-stopping psychological thriller about the shades of truth and the power of lies in the wake of one mother’s unspeakable loss.

Therapist turned stay-at-home mom Jules Hart’s idyllic suburban life shatters when she crashes her car into an icy lake. Her son and another teenage boy plunge into the water with her, but Jules can only manage to save one—the wrong one.

Reeling from the death of her son, Jules spirals into a violent and unstable mental state. Ten months after the accident, she’s still trying to reckon with the fact that she rescued Isaac Greer, another woman’s child, when Isaac suddenly vanishes.

Jules finds herself at the center of a massive police investigation. While she harbors her own dangerous secrets, Jules is adamant that she didn’t take Isaac. But then who did? Is Isaac the victim of a dangerous killer who’s been targeting boys in the Midwest? Or is someone else pulling the strings in this deadly game?

Critic Reviews

“As usual, Berry tightens the screws smartly in the opening pages and never lets up, and as usual, her ending is more intent on deepening the nightmare than providing a plausible explanation for it. Warning: the title applies as much to the audience as to the characters.”Kirkus Reviews

“As the suspense mounts, the action drives to a harrowing conclusion. Berry delivers the goods.”Publishers Weekly

“A well-done mystery with a plausible yet surprising ending.”Library Journal

WTF did I just read?

Honestly, the initial concept/plot of this story had me so intrigued. I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this story. I was so disappointed. What I thought would be an interesting, thought provoking narrative, proved to be a nonsensical story that left me feeling that all the main characters were “off the deep end”.

Okay

Not my most favourite by Lucinda, the ending seemed underwhelming and nonsensical. The performance was well done.
