About this listen

A totally gripping and twisty psychological thriller

My daughter’s boyfriend feels like one of the family. I couldn’t be happier to have him living with us. But now my daughter’s disappeared…

I never wanted to have an empty nest. So when my daughter, Liv, asks if she and her new boyfriend, Jensen, can move in, I’m thrilled.

Jensen is so helpful. He tells me how he loves being part of a close-knit family. He’s felt so alone since his parents died. And for me, his presence goes a little way towards replacing the son I lost.

Still, I can’t help but notice that Liv and Jensen are starting to argue. My daughter seems unhappy. Perhaps they just need some time alone together?

But when my husband and I return from our weekend away, Liv is missing. The relationship with Jensen appears to be over but he doesn’t want to leave. And then I discover exactly what he will do to stay in our family…

An utterly gripping psychological thriller that will have you listening late into the night. If you love Lisa Jewell and Freida McFadden you will be hooked on One of the Family.

I’m not even half way through this book and not sure I can finish it. Story is good so far but the narrators whining voice when doing some of the character voices is really irritating.

I’d forgotten how much this narrator annoyed me. I generally avoid books she narrates but had not noticed/ acted too quickly in looking for next book! Annoying, overly dramatic and whines an awful lot.
Enjoyed story however despite not being too realistic.
Overall a good listen.

Great story but annoying narrated
