About this listen

Secrets can kill, and Danni Brooks knows that better than anyone.

When her husband and two of her three children perish in a devastating house fire, Danni is sure it is arson. She’s even more sure that her and her eldest daughter, Mia, were meant to die in the fire, too. But they are just a normal family. Who would want them dead?

Mia doesn’t talk. She can’t. She is locked in her own world where no one, not even her mother, can reach her.

Desperate for answers and convinced the truth might help her to reach her daughter, Danni tries to piece together the events leading up to that murderous night and uncover the arsonist. But with so many lies to untangle, what is the truth?

Prepare to have your breath taken away by an unforgettable twist that will leave you reeling.... Kirsty Ferguson is back with a heart-stopping and utterly gripping novel, perfect for all fans of B. A. Paris and Adele Parks.

Surprising Ending

I thought so many times that it was so predictable and was glad when proved wrong so many times. Enjoyed the story although at times found some aspects hard to believe which made it disappointing but i found it very easy to listen to and I do recommend it. I never guessed the way things unfolded which makes story very interesting and I liked the way it took me by surprise. I will certainly see what else this author has written as I found that I liked her style. Recommend it.

May be triggering for some

Interesting book. Can't say I really enjoyed it. I found it very uncomfortable at times, but I persisted as I wanted to know how it ended. Contains bullying, suicide, strong violence, arson, assault, stalking, strong language, explicit sexual content and the death of children.

A Gripping story

This was a thrilling listen, keeping you engaged throughout. The story was well told; it really drew you into the mind of the main character Danni. I highly recommend this book if you like psychological thrillers.

Sadness and misery

Narrator did a wonderful job. However their was nothing enjoyable about this book. Yes twists and turns were interesting. I only kept listening because I had already wasted so much time listening it felt like a shame to stop so near the finish. I prefer satisfying endings. They don't have to be happy but this just left me feeling empty.

Interesting story, hard to follow

While the story line is interesting, It was hard to follow as an audiobook. However the storyline twist was great.

Totally captivating

Fantastic book although a bit sad.
You cannot predict the ending.
When you think you solved it the story goes in a different direction to keep you guessing all the way to the end.
