About this listen

A family riddled with lies. A little girl who won't speak. What if keeping her safe means losing her forever?

Juliet only wanted to see her childhood home one more time–to look at it from the street. She never intended to meet the new owners, let alone talk her way into a position as their new live-in nanny. But it's too late now to tell the truth about who she really is.

Six-year-old Kitty has progressive mutism and cannot speak. Nobody knows why she keeps making silent phone calls to the police. Juliet makes it her mission to find out.

As Juliet settles into the house, nostalgia for her childhood gives way to uneasiness, as troubling memories surface. She begins to realise that her new employers have a connection to her own past, and family secrets she has tried hard to forget. And she is horrified to learn that they have a secret too–one that could blow their world apart.

Juliet faces an impossible choice. Keeping Kitty safe could cost her everything.

Escape into this stunning psychological thriller with unforgettable characters and an ending you won't see coming.

Excellent!

Beautifully complex and intriguing storyline! I absolutely loved this book, and was delightfully surprised at the fact that it didn’t have a typical plot with one twist to the story, but instead a variety of depth and twists the entire story through. I found this book on Audible plus, but I’ll be immediately looking to see anything this author has written and listening to it! Great narration as well!!!

Slow burn

This story starts off slow and gradually builds up, but it is totally worth it.

Keeps you guessing-

Enjoyed this one because it wasn’t the usual formula for British murder mystery or police procedural . Lots of twists and turns, mind games and heart string tugs to keep anyone who likes psychological thrillers, even a little, enthralled or at least entertained! I was pleasantly surprised, ngl.

Absolutely Brilliant! :)

When I saw this book was almost 12 hours I thought, "Oh man.. let's see how much I have to skip through." The answer: ZERO! Zero skips. The author and narrator are like peanut butter & jelly, perfection together! The story is gripping and I think we can all relate to some parts of the emotional parts the characters hold. Thank you, Ms. Lucy Lawrie!
