About this listen

The truth hurts....

Erin and Roisin were friends until a fatal accident ruined both their lives. Now Roisin has discovered a secret - one Erin has kept for over a decade - and she's determined to make Erin pay for her lies.

Erin wants nothing to do with Roisin. She has a new life in London and no intention of going back home. Yet when her father is mysteriously and critically injured, Erin has no choice but to return and face Roisin - and her past. Erin knows if the secret of what she gave up got out, the consequences could be devastating.

When Roisin suddenly disappears, suspicion soon lands on Erin. She would do anything to protect her family, but just how far is she willing to go when time is running out?

A must-listen for fans of CL Taylor and BA Paris.

this book was really good. I really enjoyed the narrator especially the Irish accent. it was such a breath of fresh air and it gave me such an insight to life in Ireland. the narrator was amazing. the story was well written and delivered. I will definitely be looking out for both the author and narrator again.

Beautiful lilt of the narrator gently draws you in.

Not a fast paced drama but a complex family drama that slowly draws you in more and more. If it had a different narrator I don't think I'd be as fond as it was slightly too slow paced for me. But the Irish lilt got me (reminds me of family members long past).

I'd stick this in the Mum / chick lit zone rather than psychological drama. Maybe it's just too tame for me.

I'm a sucker for an accent

Billed as more a drama than an out and out thriller this is an engaging read from Sue Fortin. Those seeking action and thrills and spills aren't going to find them here as it is a more thoughtful exploration of relationships and the damage that can be done by secrets no matter how well hidden or how far in the past they may be. It is part romantic and part melodrama and has a few twists up its sleeve.

The narration adds to the entertainment with Amy De Bhrún's Irish accent a pleasure to listen to. It's not perfect though, voices were dropped occasionally and the English characters came over a little as caricatures though the author is also partly to blame here.

My abiding impression is that I enjoyed a pleasurable listen without ever being excited by the story. The time passed quickly, though for my personal tastes the ending came over just a little bit saccharin-laden. It's really more of a romantic / family drama than a genuine thriller or even "Psychological Drama" so if that's your scene this is likely a decent choice.

there is no way this is a psychological thriller - itis more of a dramatic romance. Look this was not terrible but not what was expected. I found the basic story line reasonable. I connected with the central characters but found the accents switch from 1st to 3rd person confusing and to add to it the accents and tones for the characters were sometimes hard to distinguish. There was a couple of well hidden twists but nothing particularly earth shattering. Overall NOT TOTALLY DISAPPOINTED
