About this listen

Winner of Audible 2017 Narrator of the Year Award.

Rose, newly married to surgeon Nathan Winter, wants for nothing in her perfect life–except the one thing she can’t have: for her sister, Daisy, who’s lying unresponsive in a coma, to wake up.

Daisy’s psychologist has been a constant presence at her hospital bedside. But he’s taken an unnatural interest in Rose, and now he’s made a shocking accusation: that Rose’s husband is a psychopath and that she’s in danger.

Of course, that’s ridiculous. Rose was married to a psychopath before–a man whose nature took a deadly turn after a year of wedded bliss–and Nathan is nothing like him.

Her sisters would know what to do. Only Maggie is miles away and Daisy isn’t getting any better.

As Daisy continues to fight for her life and the psychologist’s interest in Rose turns to obsession, she’s torn between the two men, each on their own twisted path and each with questionable motives.

Who should she believe?

A complete stranger consumed by obsession? Or her loving husband who’s given her everything she ever wanted?

She’s been married to Nathan for a year now. And if he is a psychopath...

Is his nature about to take a deadly turn?

Narrated by Joanne Froggatt, the beloved Anna Bates from Downton Abbey, and Louise Brealey from Sherlock...from the number one best-selling author of When He’s Not Here comes another dark and twisty psychological thriller that will linger in your mind long after you’ve finished the book.

Critic reviews

"Just what the psychological thriller market needs to shake things up a bit. And, of course, I’m a little in love with Saeed as I suspect everyone will be." (Sunday Times best-selling author Elizabeth Haynes)

This is one of those books that once finished, leave you reeling. I inhaled the entirety of the audio book as soon as I could, and since then have been trying to process every nuance and twist that unfolded.

After reading When He's Not Here (currently delving into Sly Trap For A Fox!), I didn't think I could love Carrie's work more - turns out, I've actually found my new favourite author and I cannot put any of her books down 😭 Dr Saeed Sharif has developed into my comfort character 100%

I came for Emilia Fox's narration in the first book, and am SO glad I stuck around to bear witness to Joanne Froggatt's and Louise Brealey's respective takes on these new characters!

Cannot rave about this book and its talents enough - Here lies 10 hours and 50 minutes of lives I now feel deeply connected to, and will have to keep revisiting in order to try and recapture the memory.

So powerful that the author has me crying in Tesco

Amazing novel and ‘read’ it in 2 sittings. Another fabulous psychological thriller from Magillen. Outstanding performances from Froggatt & Brealey also and what a great twist. I thought I knew where the story was going. I was wrong. Highly recommended.

Had me hooked from the start! Relentless.

Excellent!!

I may have missed out by not knowing the book that came before this sadly. The sisters Daisy Maggie and Rose are deeply entwined. Their parallel stories shock and involve you. Dramatic events in a forest lakeside cabin, serious themes of coercion and control in a initially fairy tale romance along with repetitive themes tease and torment. A good long listen at 1. Speed worked well and the narrators are excellent. The twist/reveal gradually becomes obvious and us one I took a long time to grasp. Very cleverly done, if slightly annoying because of what seems like unrealistic sensationalism…

Unusual and compellingly complex listen
