About this listen

Ingrid will never forget what John did.

The people he hurt. The way he lied about it so easily. The way she defended him.

Now he’s back.

He says a murderer is after her. He says only he can protect her.

Would you trust him?

The clock is ticking for Ingrid to decide. Because the killer is ready to strike…

The main stumbling block for me was the stupidity of the main character. She is an intelligent woman who has already been mercilessly stalked by Webster, had her life ruined by him and yet….. She turns to him for help. I never quite got to grips with it after that. I am surprised it has been made into a TV series.

It’s a reasonable story. And I do like Emily Barber as the narrator. It was rather confusing at times so many names I needed to read the names.
But on the whole it’s an ok read.

Toooo looong

The concept of this story is great but, the way that the author has delivered it is somewhat long winded and tedious. In my mind, At times the author delves too deeply into the minutiae of courtroom dialogue and tedious email conversations.
To be fair, these probably would not be so noticeable when reading the written word but, listening to it in audio, is a bit much.
These comments are aimed at the author. The performance by the reader is excellent.

Great Plot. Long winded delivery

Written from the perspective of a barrister, I found this book demanded that you try to work out the trips often leading you in the wrong direction. Just when I thought it had ended- several times- along came some more, after a false lead.
A great story!

A Thriller!
