About this listen

Claudia's life imploded ten years ago when she was convicted of the murder of her child. Now she has done the unthinkable and confessed to manslaughter in order to be granted parole - her only hope of finding out what really happened to Tilly.

Sara is married to Joe, Claudia's ex-husband, and they have a young child together. She finally has everything she ever wanted, but Claudia's release threatens the perfect life she has created.

Anna was the babysitter who let Claudia and Joe down on day their daughter disappeared. Married with a child of her own, Claudia's reappearance in her quiet cul-de-sac is an unwelcome surprise.

These three women are tied together in more ways than they realize. But only one of them is capable of killing.

Enjoyed this book, which was my first by Emma Curtis. Always another plot twist to keep you guessing. Excellent narration. Highly recommended.

Compelling mystery

Unfortunately, the story is just preposterous. I had to skip to the end to find out exactly what happened, but could not bear to listen to the whole thing.

Just too silly

The premise of the book is interesting and I really enjoyed the first third of the book. Then the whimpering, idiotic main character really started to grate. Mainly I had major issues with someone having multiple intrusion in their house and never once thinking about changing locks or installing a camera. By chapter 50 I was done and jumped ship, listened to the last chapter to find who dunnit and save myself the irritation. No surprise there either, the ending was way over the top and held no real surprise.

Disappointing main character
