About this listen

"Thrilling and illuminating."—LA Times

"A hypnotic psychological thriller."
—People

A chance encounter sparks an unrelenting web of lies in this new gripping and complex psychological thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of The Good Girl.

She sees the teenage girl on the train platform, standing in the pouring rain, clutching an infant in her arms. She boards a train and is whisked away. But she can't get the girl out of her head…

Heidi Wood has always been a charitable woman: she works for a nonprofit, takes in stray cats. Still, her husband and daughter are horrified when Heidi returns home one day with a young woman named Willow and her four-month-old baby in tow. Disheveled and apparently homeless, this girl could be a criminal—or worse. But despite her family's objections, Heidi invites Willow and the baby to take refuge in their home.

Heidi spends the next few days helping Willow get back on her feet, but as clues into Willow's past begin to surface, Heidi is forced to decide how far she's willing to go to help a stranger. What starts as an act of kindness quickly spirals into a story far more twisted than anyone could have anticipated.

Narration was good

The story was slow and convoluted but the narration was good. Bummed I used up a credit on this one.

The book was written 13 years ago. I had the first one in my library.

I disliked that this was promoted as a “new” book by Mary Kubica. Her writing has improved over the years. She is a favorite of mine. This book not included.

BEWARE! THIS BOOK WAS RELEASED 9 YEARS AGO!

I love this author and purchased this book yesterday, but as I'm listening, it sounds familiar. Sure enough when I check my library, I already bought and listened to this book in 2015.

THIS BOOK WAS RELEASED ORIGINALLY IN 2015!!!

As in another review as I was listening to this book it sounded familiar. I went to read about it and seen another review that said this happened to them. I looked in my library and I had already purchased. I was able to return it and get my credit back.

This was just terrible.

I hated every character in this book. The story was painfully slow and boring. I specifically hated Heidi’s character. She’s a terrible mother and I just hated her. What a waste of time and a credit.

Oof. No thank you.

Was 7 hours in when I finally acknowledged that NOTHING HAPPENED IN THIS BOOK. The “twists” are all very predictable and jammed into the last few chapters (which hardly seemed worth finishing after so much blah). Don’t waste your time.
