About this listen

They seem like the perfect family. But their secrets are about to come out…

I push open the door to the beautiful French villa and my clever, handsome husband and adorable wide-eyed children follow me inside, taking in the breath-taking view. This should be a blissful summer break, filled with sun, swimming and relaxation but the truth is very different.

Because my husband has just revealed the real reason we’re here.

When our friends staying at the sprawling villa greet us on the sun-soaked terrace, I smile brightly and attempt to calm my nerves. If I can just behave normally, everything will be fine. But if any one of the people sitting around the clear, blue pool discovers the truth my whole world could be shattered.

So I have to pretend we’re the perfect family and I’m the perfect wife–all the while knowing that our lies could destroy us.

If our secrets begin to unravel, how far will my husband and I go to protect them? And will two weeks in the sun end in murder…?

I loved the characters and the plot. A few things were a bit far fetched. I recommend listening to this, but it gets a bit jarring when the same event is laboriously replayed via a different perspective.

Well written and read, but...

I did enjoy this story but i did find it quiet repetative through out the book that made me stop and think i had gone back to a previous chapter. I am guessing this was to bulk out the story and i feel it would of been a better story line without so much repetativeness. The story line was very clever though and i do enjoy Alison as an author. I found the Narration was the same all the way through and sometimes it was hard to distinguish between the different charactersl

I found the narrator's voices rather off-putting. No-one sounded at all personable or likeable (even the heroine) so it was hard to connect with the characters emotionally. Luckily I persevered as it was still worth the listen.

A really good plot with plenty of twists and turns.

Great story was hooked from the get go.
The fact that everyday lives of a happy couple impacted by a selfish action choice made by one of them.
living a lie would catch up eventually.

An ok listen. Nothing outstanding. Similar to many others of this genre. Characters that you want to shake for their stupidity. The whole point of a domestic thriller.
