About this audiobook
Chilling family secrets, obsession and decades-old lies. How well do we really know the ones we love? A gripping psychological thriller from the #1 bestselling author of Look Behind You.
Twenty-five years ago Katie ran away from home and never came back. But now she’s suddenly reappeared in her best friend Olivia’s life—in the form of a chilling confession. Olivia’s father-in-law, wracked with guilt, says he murdered her all those years ago. Tom suffers from Alzheimer’s and his story is riddled with error and confusion. Except for one terrifying certainty: he knows where the body is buried.
As Olivia and the police piece together the evidence, they are left with one critical question. They have a crime, they have a confession, and now they have a body—but can any of it be trusted?

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5A better editor would help this book: too much repetition, thinking aloud. Not enough logic and basic forensic knowledge. Boring.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I would have given this book five stars, because it kept me engrossed until the end. However, I found the main character so pathetic and idiotic that I was tempted to stop reading out of irritation.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5The main character was sanctimonious. I struggled to finish the book but have liked most of the author’s other books. Olivia was very tiring.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Gripping tale. Told from the POV of the daughter-in-law/sister-in-law. What do you do when a family member confesses to murder? The struggle to do the right thing is real. Follow as the family begins to fall apart under mistrust.
Excellent narration. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Had me on the rollercoaster , thought I had the answer , then to my suprise a great twist , very good I will look for this author again
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I enjoyed the book. It wasn’t predictable and that’s always nice. I will look into her other books, and I am picky about what I read or listen to.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great suspenseful story I couldn't bear to put down! Excellent narrators.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I liked the main character but not her husband. I feel bad for their Dad. I figured it out mid-book.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5One of my favourite books of 2023 the twists were amazing I never saw the ending coming
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I had a hard time deciding on a rating for this book. I detested the main character from the beginning. I could find nothing about the story that rated anything other than the 1 lonely, solitary star that I gave it. Olivia, the heroine, and I use the term loosely. was a despicable character that I just couldn't find any reason to even begin to try to like. Her father-in-law suffers from Alzheimer, but he confesses to a murder. A murder that only may, and probably is, only in his jumbled mind, but Olivia disregards the advice of everyone...her husband, her brother-in-law...her sister-in-law who all said he was a sick old man, and the "murder", if it indeed there ever was a murder, was supposed to have happen years ago. Off Olivia goes to the police with the information. The police determine that no murder had occurred. The father-in-law divulges additional confessions and Olivia is off and running once again. Oliva thought that the supposed murder victim was a former friend of hers, so she decides it is her "duty" as the former "best friend" of this person to solve the mystery. Sometimes things are best left alone as Olivia soon learns that her "best friend" was not all who, or what, she thought she was, but hey, let's rally to her defense anyway. What added to my dislike of Olivia was that every time she thought she had a clue she immediately jumped to the most negative response that went from her weak little mind to her uncontrollable mouth. Anyone who was associated with the new clue was immediately determined, by her, to be guilty. Even her husband was accused of some horrific crimes. As for Olivia...Can we say "sanctimonious"? By the middle of the book, I had thoughts of closing Olivia and her goody two shoes' opinions, tightly between the pages, but I wanted so badly to see her get everything that she deserved. Sadly, I was disappointed. I do believe this was the worst book I have EVER read. I'm going to post this before I take the 1 star away.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/53.5 Tom was an honorable man, a man who always put his family first, a man who would do anything for his family, a man who now suffers from Alzheimer disease and lives in a nursing home. He is now saying that he murdered a young woman, many years ago, but how seriously should he be taken? A solid story about a decades old tragedy, many secrets and a family in crisis. When Jenny left all those years ago it was presumed, aided by the note she left, that she had run away. But how far did she get? The difference between lies told to deflect and lies told to protect. I enjoyed the moral aspect of this too, as some characters struggle with a most difficult decision. Loved the two young girls, Anna and Charlotte, their reactions to everything happening was very real. ARC from Netgalley.
