From the New York Times bestselling author of The Nanny and What She Knew comes the terrifying story of what can happen after all your dreams come true

Be careful what you wish for...

Childhood sweethearts Nicole and Tom are a normal, loving couple—until a massive lottery win changes their lives overnight.

Soon they’ve moved into a custom-built state-of-the-art Glass Barn on the stunning grounds of Lancaut Manor in Gloucestershire. They have fancy cars, expensive hobbies, and an exclusive lifestyle they never could have imagined.

But this dream world quickly turns into a nightmare when Tom is found dead in the swimming pool. Was Tom’s death a tragic accident, or was it something worse?

Nicole is devastated. Tom was her rock. And their beautiful barn —with all its smart features that never seem to work for her—is beginning to feel very lonely. But she’s not entirely by herself out there in the country. There’s a nice young couple who live in the Manor itself along with their middle-aged housekeeper who has the Coach House. And an old friend of Tom’s from school has turned up to help her get through her grief.

But big money can bring big problems and big threats. And is Nicole's life in danger as well?

Nicole’s beginning to feel like a little fish in a big glass bowl.

Surrounded by piranhas.

strong until the end

I loved the actors on this audible. It was really good until the last few hours and the ending was like...WHAT??? Overall I liked it but the ending was confusing at times...

The Characters

Loved all the characters. Lots of twists and turns that kept me guessing. Really enjoyed how the actors portrayed each character and was easy to follow along without getting confused on which character was speaking/thinking. Cant wait to hear more from this author!

So good

Really great. Haven’t listened to one like in a min. Lots of twists and turns

What a ride!

Kept you guessing which terrible character did it! Narration good… I really enjoyed listening to this audible book!

So many twists

Slow start, almost requested a refund but kept going and then the surprises never stopped. Very creative plot.

Betrayal at its best

Loved the reader and how the story unfolded a piece at a time. Hard to believe part was the Anna brainwashing but otherwise enjoyable ride.

I kept getting surprised!

I loved all of the narrators and the story line just kept keeping me on my toes. At least a couple of times, my mouth fell open! I will be recommending this book to friends and family and will try other books by the author!

Enjoyed Every Chapter

I had a couple of very long car trips and this audio book was perfect. I found it entertaining and detailed, but not so much as lose the story when road traffic demanded more attention (real traffic it went to pause). The speakers were smooth and easy to understand. The pace and story were enough to make the next long drive something to look forward to.

I enjoyed the twists & turns all the way up to the compelling ending!

I really enjoyed the creative narrating of each reader. It kept the story line intriguing & captivating

Kept me guessing

Great narration. I especially enjoy multiple cast who all did excellent. I also liked that the outcome was not obvious from the start.
