Publisher's Summary
THE NEW CAUTIONARY TALE OF OBSESSION, LOVE, JEALOUSY AND DECEPTION FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF OUR HOUSE AND THE OTHER PASSENGER
Wrong time. Wrong place. Wrong man.
Alex lives a comfortable life with his wife Beth in the leafy suburb of Silver Vale. Fine, so he’s not the most sociable guy on the street, he prefers to keep himself to himself, but he’s a good husband and an easy-going neighbour.
That’s until Beth announces the creation of a nature trail on a local site that’s been disused for decades and suddenly Alex is a changed man. Now he’s always watching. Questioning. Struggling to hide his dread . . .
As the landscapers get to work, a secret threatens to surface from years ago, back in Alex’s twenties when he got entangled with a seductive young woman called Marina, who threw both their lives into turmoil.
And who sparked a police hunt for a murder suspect that was never quite what it seemed. It still isn’t.
No one else could have done it. Could they?
‘The best Louise Candlish novel yet’ Lisa Jewell
'I'm blown away by how good it is. A gripping tale of love, secrets and deception - it's the best psychological thriller I've read in a long time' Mark Edwards

I loved this book.
Highly recommend this one. I have listened to all of Louise’s books and she is my favourite author, this one is another brilliant listen and it reminded me why I love her books so much, you never want them to end. Best book I’ve listened to for a very long time.

Very good but stressful!
This is a good story with a few twists and turns across two timelines. It's brilliantly read which makes it a great listen. But for me it wasn't a relaxing experience - mainly because the lead character perpetually makes utterly stupid decisions, digging himself into a huge hole. i found myself wanting to yell at him to get a grip.

What a twist!
Slow to start I was wondering where this one was going but it certainly packed a punch with a serious twist in the tale!

Not impressed
This is the 2nd book I've read by this author. in both books all the players are alcoholics and chainsmokers. Both books seemed to be about that - I don't mind a drink but jeez this is over the top. I guess it fills the pages. The narrator is great. I got 4 hours in and had to give it a miss.
