About this listen

 The much-anticipated gripping new thriller from the bestselling author of The Girl Before - pre-order now!

The child you never knew
knows all your secrets . . .

Out of the blue, Susie Jukes is contacted on social media by Anna, the girl she gave up for adoption fifteen years ago.

But when they meet, Anna's home life sounds distinctly strange to Susie and her husband Gabe. And when Anna's adoptive parents seem to overreact to the fact she contacted them at all, Susie becomes convinced that Anna needs her help.

But is Anna's own behaviour simply what you'd expect from someone recovering from a traumatic childhood? Or are there other secrets at play here - secrets Susie has also been hiding for the last fifteen years?

Never normally write a review but I was gripped by this story. Excellent narration and well written with an unusual plot line- don’t understand some of the poor reviews.

I really enjoyed this and finished it in a couple of days. Quite wide ranging, perhaps the characters were a bit two dimensional but the plot was well structured and the narration convincing.
