About this listen
"They’re lying," my little stepson whispers, his blue eyes shining with tears as I tuck him into bed for the first time. "They think I’ve forgotten, but I remember everything. I know my mummy is still alive."
My best friend warned me that it was too soon to marry Edward, a widower with an adorable but troubled little boy. She said we were moving too fast. But all I could see was a kind, loving man, struggling with grief, who needed my help.
Yet as storm clouds gather above our small wedding ceremony, my hopes and dreams fall apart. None of my husband’s family turns up to support us. Instead of a honeymoon, we have a quiet night in. My wedding bouquet is placed on his first wife’s grave. And then my new stepson tells me he’s sure his mother is still alive.
What does Noah remember, and why is his father trying to make him forget? Have I been completely wrong about my husband? What happened to the woman who came before me, and how far will he go to stop me finding out the truth?
An utterly gripping, twisty psychological thriller, perfect for fans of Before I Go to Sleep, The Girl on the Train and Gone Girl.

it never really grabbed me
Neither the narration or the story meet expectations. Struggled to finish it and it was nothing memorable.

Waited for a twist that never came
Overall it wasn’t a story. I felt the main character was a little naive, never letting her best mate know where is was going.
Was all a bit predictable in the end really. I kept thinking there’s going to be a twist at the end but it was not to be.

This is a 'one read book'
Had to keep listening straight through. The author makes all her characters realistic and the story compelling. Will collect all her books.

Complication of a simple story line with bad narration
It would be tough creating several characters voices, and appreciate the effort involved, but this was awful.

You already know the ending
Having high expectations, I was sadly disappointed. The narration really lets this one down, and the storyline was predictable. The details of the main character were tedious and her stupidity makes it frustrating at times. And what a bratty child!
