About this listen

Ex fashion model and successful business woman Laura Ayars' perfect world is shattered at a time that should have been the happiest of her life. On her honeymoon, her sports superstar husband goes for a swim - and never returns. But what has happened to David - can he really be dead? Whilst struggling to cope with her almost overwhelming grief, Laura is plagued by questions and doubts. Was it an accident? Or suicide? Or is it some terrible, ill-judged hoax?

As events begin to unfold, Laura starts to question David's mysterious disappearance. She begins to uncover a conspiracy that reaches deep into the past and is now slowly beginning to destroy everyone involved. Someone will do anything to keep Laura away from the awful truth - and she has no idea who she can trust.

not bad

ok so as an Australian I would like to point out there's a few Mistakes... Australia has no sheriff's. Anyone that was pulled out in a rip and died would not return their clothing to shore without body. If you are going to write about another country at least get basic facts right. It would have made more sense to have a crocodile... story was obvious after a few chapters but was not the worst book I've read....

Awful

Quite possibly one of the most awful, most ludicrous books to which I've ever listened. The only thing saving me asking for a refund is the warning at the start of the book by the author & the performance of the narrator which was well done.

Spoiler: just watch Mission Impossible instead.

A beginning

This is not a patch on his later books, but a beginning to be sure!

Really not good.

This was an awful book. The narrator does apologise at the start that it is an early work, but honestly skip it. I had backtracked thinking I’d read all his work in order - but I may have to skip the first 3-4 if they’re as weak as this first effort. However, in everything, we all start somewhere so I suppose we cannot judge too harshly.
