Summary

Her best friend is dead.

Emma and Ariella, neighbours in one of Sydney’s most exclusive suburbs, appear to have it all—perfect homes, perfect husbands, perfect lives. But they both know dark secrets lurk beneath the surface and shallow waters can’t hide Ariella’s. Now she has been found murdered.

Her daughter filmed the killing.

Not knowing what she’s filmed, Emma’s daughter Kiki innocently uploads footage of Ariella’s brutal death. Emma fears the worst—the killer will know what she and Kiki have seen. Their safe suburban lives no longer exist.

Her husband knows more than he’s revealing.

Emma’s husband Charles forces the family to leave their perfect life and escape on their yacht. His dangerous plan to flee means Emma is trapped and desperately seeking answers. What are they hiding from? What did Ariella have to confess? And who else knows Emma’s own secret?

Her secret isn’t safe and neither is she.

Whilst I wanted to know what happened, I couldn’t listen to the end. Good storyline but rambled on and on

Good plot but I got bored

Enthralling listen -gripping story

What a great listen.. especially for a free book. It had me gripped from the beginning and I listened to it all in 1 day. highly recommended.

Surprisingly Good

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The main character does a lot of thinking about how she's feeling, even when facing peril. A bit farfetched and slow going but not a bad listen as the story is interesting.

I don't like abridged books but this is one that could really do with trimming down.

OK but a lot of repetitive introspection

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
I persisted with this dreary tale up to chapter 30 then gave up. Very disappointing.

Not for me
