About this listen

He has a dark secret, but so does she.

Pamela Whitherspoon seemingly has it all—a stunning adopted daughter, a beautiful oceanfront home, and a wealthy, doting husband. But one void remains: a biological child of her own.

After multiple heartbreaking miscarriages, Pamela's dream of motherhood lies in tatters. With each pregnancy, her once-adoring husband Kyle grows increasingly cold and distant, inexplicably repelled by the prospect of fatherhood. His transformation from loving partner to virtual stranger leaves Pamela bewildered and devastated.

Their picture-perfect facade crumbles during a vicious argument about having children. In the aftermath, their housekeeper Chloe abruptly quits, cryptically alluding to something deeply disturbing she witnessed while cleaning the attic—something involving Kyle that she dares not speak aloud.

Driven by a mix of dread and curiosity, Pamela investigates. Hidden beneath a loose floorboard, she unearths a box of old VHS tapes. As she watches, Kyle's darkest secret unfolds before her eyes, shattering her world and filling her with a perverse relief that she never bore his child.

Now, Pamela faces an impossible choice: flee and bury the truth, or confront the monster she married and ensure he pays for his deception. In this chilling psychological thriller, she must navigate a labyrinth of lies to protect herself and her daughter from a danger closer than she ever imagined.

This Psychological thriller is perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, John Marrs, Lucinda Berry and Kiersten Modglin.

Far fetched beyond belief! There’s so much ridiculousness I don’t know where to start. There’s main character was vile the women were pathetic, the matriarch was beyond understanding but I made it to the end with a lot of swearing at the voice coming out of my car speakers. Did I hate it? No. Will I listen to the next one? Maybe

So bad it’s good

TW: This book contains themes of abortion, miscarriage and death.
This completely gripped me from the start.
Kyle has to be one of the most frustrating characters I’ve read in a long time. I genuinely found myself disliking him more and more as the story unfolded, which just shows how well the character was written.
Just when I thought I had everything figured out, the ending completely shocked me. I did not see it coming at all and it instantly pushed this up to a five star read for me.
If you enjoy psychological thrillers that keep you hooked and guessing until the very last pages, this one is definitely worth picking up.

Gripped until the end
