Three women. Three smouldering secrets. Who will make it out alive?

It’s 5 November, and a woman awakens to a nightmare. Bound and gagged, she lies trapped in the heart of a towering bonfire. As the smoke thickens, panic sets in–she’s moments away from being engulfed in flames. How did it come to this?

Rewind eleven months: Margot, a faded TV star, and her long-suffering friend Anna watch as glamorous Liv and her flawless family move into their street. The three women soon fabricate the perfect pretence of friendship, but each harbours her own deadly secret–and newcomer Liv senses something is terribly wrong beneath the polished exteriors.

As cracks widen in the veneer of perfection and lies escalate out of control, tension ignites. Bonfire Night is approaching and someone is set to burn…But who will it be?

Reseñas de la Crítica

“A cast of narrators bring their talents to this psychological thriller about three neighbors—wealthy women with deep, dark secrets.… Knowelden as Margot takes listeners on a wild ride of privilege, while Quirk keeps Anna buttoned-up and neutral to infighting. Corbett, as Liv, is underhanded and manipulative. The other narrators take the smaller parts of previous victims. As the women piece together their individual stories, someone will be the next victim, but who?”—AudioFile Magazine

“The most chilling opening I’ve ever read in any book—a superb start to a stellar thriller. This is trademark John Marrs and then some! Clever, twisty, dark, surprising, propulsive—an elevated thriller that readers will devour. I loved it.”—Sunday Times bestselling author Andrea Mara

“Three deliciously devious women and a suburban setting alight with toxic secrets makes for an absolute scorcher of a read. Taut, smart, and breathlessly twisty—a surefire hit.”—Ellery Lloyd

John Marrs Will Never Miss!!!

Wow wow wow, this is superb. What a mind and jaw dropping ending!!! I will read everything this guy writes.

Twisted but fun!

To be honest, I went into this blind and had no idea what the book was about. Which was great because I was pleasantly surprised by the storyline and all of the epic plot twists.

Another winner

Listened to this in about 2 days- very good story!! So many twists and turns, I’d definitely recommend it!

Another Amazing John Marrs book

I’ve read every single John Marrs book and have only one complaint- I can’t put them down and finish them way too quickly and then have to wait for next book. This plot kept you guessing and as usual the narration was amazing. 5 stars all around!!

The narrations were phenomenal.

I absolutely loved this book from beginning to the end. The twists and turn kept me totally engrossed

He’s done it again

I’m stingy with my 5 starts but this was very engaging- would make a great movie. I saw the end chapter name and spoiled the big twist and STILL got a wow moment at the end.

Excellent reading and satisfying ending

Really enjoyed this one! The reading performance was incredible and really took you on a ride with the characters. The storyline bounces around quite a bit, so at times it is hard to follow. But trust the process and keep going and it will all make sense in the end.Would definitely recommend.

Another great read!

Loved how the story built up and how the characters were developed. I could see this being a movie! Love the author and can't wait for the next book!

Omg

just oh my god!!! Mr. Marrs, you have one messed up, yet BRILLIANT mind! Holy chapter 39, this was a great ride of a book!

Lots of Twists

The performance and story was so good! I highly recommend this for listeners who love psychological thrillers.
