About this listen

Maddie Castle is broken. Ever since the tragedy that struck on her twins' 10th birthday, she's been trying to fit the pieces together, to get back to the life she led before. Maddie, her husband, Dom, and their children, Aidan and Annabel, lived in a comfortable home on a quiet street in a London suburb. Life was busy and satisfying. They were happy. Weren't they?

Now, a disoriented and grieving Maddie floats like a ghost through each day, hardly sleeping, eating, or speaking. It's easier to stay locked in her own head than to torment herself by reliving what happened. And yet, the harder Maddie tries to pin down her memories, the more they slip out of reach. Is her guilt and remorse justified? Is it Maddie's fault that everything was ripped apart?

Or could it be that the real terror is still to come?

Not the best psychological thriller

I found the voice used for the main character irritating - did not fit with the supposed plot - the pitch was high, repeated comments over and over and not believable that someone in this supposed situation would react, think or speak that way. Very predictable plot. I was disappointed with the story but pushed through hoping it would improve, which sadly it did not.

Beautifully written

Just when I thought I'd figured it out there was a plot twist.

Circling around and around it was a joyous experience to listen to this book

Great narrationwith deep emotion behind the words
