About this listen

 ***Don’t miss SOMEONE IN THE WATER, Sarah Clarke’s gripping new summer thriller, available now***

‘Tense, suspenseful and an amazing ending. One of the best books I have read this year.’ NetGalley reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

SOME TRUTHS CAN’T BE TOLD.

I had the perfect life – a nice house, a loving husband, a beautiful little boy.

But in one devastating night, they were all ripped from me.

It's been fourteen years, and I’m finally ready to face the past.

I’m taking my son back.

He just can’t know who I am…or why we were torn apart.

A nail-biting thriller packed with twists and turns, perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell and Shalini Boland.

Well crafted story. Predictable in places but just when you think you knew it, some comment would be made and you realise there was another layer to the story. Same for the ending....its always happily ever after, but this wasn't quite how i thought it would go.

Good read

A good story

Am struggling with this one so far, have had to keep going back over and over as I feel I have missed something, or keep drifting off as it's not holding attention. The narration makes the book feel dull and I can't really relate to the characters. Have given up for now, will probably try again when I have no other book

Was debating whether to listen to this given the mixed reviews..don’t bother, it’s a ridiculous story made worse by the narrator talking in what can only be described as a babyish voice. Just terrible!

Terrible!
