Every marriage has its secrets…

Beth and Tom Hardcastle are the envy of their neighbourhood – they have the perfect marriage, the perfect house, the perfect family.

When the police knock on their door one evening, Beth panics. Tom should be back from work by now – what if he’s crashed his car? She fears the worst.

But the worst is beyond imagining.

As the interrogation begins, Beth will find herself questioning everything she believed about her husband.

Awesome Book!

Never dull and perfectly written. Alice Hinter is my new favorite writer. Great unique plot.

Well written with a nice twist at the end i didnt see coming🤩

Performance and pace was well balanced. A good one time listen. Good
One time listen

Silvia sounds…yuck!

The main female narrator makes lots of juicy mouth sounds. It sounds like she is sucking on something or constantly licking her lips. It was very distracting. The book was good. The narrator not so much.

Great Throughout

This kept my attention the whole time and was great throughout. Loved the narration and the plot.

Better than I thought it would be!

So, I really didn't care for Beth's narrator, only because she spoke too slowly and took very long pauses between sentences that shouldn't have been there (or maybe ot was the editing?) But the story was great! The ending, truly unexpected. I usually take a week or so to listen to a book, but this I finished in 4 days. I would definitely recommend this to mystery/suspense lovers.

Good story. can't stand the reader

The person reading this is so irritating. with her deep breaths into the mic and constantly swallowing. I can't stand it anymore

Just ok..

I like the story, and I did like both narrators, but the female one got on my nerves a bit. There were a bunch of unnecessary pauses that went on WAY too long, stumbling of words, and too much saliva sounds. Many times I thought something happened, and the recording stopped because of the pauses, and when it came to the saliva sounds, it’s was almost like she had just eaten something and was still clearing it out of her teeth, or needed a drink. It’s hard to explain, but it was SO distracting. I was surprised that the few stumbling of words, or even the bad flow of the sentence wasn’t edited out and redone. Again, I didn’t mind the story, and she wasn’t the worst narrator, but definitely not the best.

good, but I felt a little predictable

it was OK. sad I used a credit. feels like it belongs more in the audible plus library. would have been a little more satisfied if it was included vs. using a credit. performance was amazing, she nailed emotions.

Wow!!!!

Did not see that ending coming, mind blown, it's a little long but the ending isn't well worth it!

Too long

This was a good story, but it took too long to get to the point
