Publisher's summary

From the stranger in the car, to the madman at her door....

Perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty, Shari Lapena and Lisa Jewell.

The day my path crossed with Simon Fox I thought I’d already lost everything, but then he almost ran me off the road with his flash car and belittling jibes.

The men in my life had undermined me for too long.

Enough was enough.

Fuelled by alcohol and the desire to get even, I decided a spot of petty vandalism would make me feel a whole lot better.

Wrong. Very wrong....

I hadn’t realised that Simon Fox was not a man to be messed with.

He showed me just how much I still had left to lose.

Soon I was battling for my home, family and life.

Critic reviews

"It’s a shocking thriller that grabs at your emotions on every page! Loved it." (Lauren North, best-selling author)

"Captivating and enthralling, a story of revenge, infidelity, friendship and love. An outstanding book by an outstanding author, I give this book five shiny golden stars." (Anita Waller)

"A well-written and thoroughly entertaining thriller from a very talented author." (John Nicoll)

Very entertaining

I wouldn't rate this a psychological "thriller", but a good storyline and terrific narration. It was an easy listen and never got boring.

Yes!

EXCELLENT narration. Twisty storyline with believable, well-developed characters. (So tired of stupidity in psych thrillers, much more fun to imagine smart people being duped!) This one is credit worthy!

Love all her books

I’ve read 5 of Gemma Rogers books and they never disappoint me. Looking for my next one

Page Turner at the end!

There was a part in the book when I wondered how the story was going to tie together, but hang in there because it is well worth the ending! I couldn’t put it down! Amazing!

Superb Narration by the Fabulous Imogen Church

I thoroughly enjoyed this battle of wits—brought to vivid life by me favorite narrator: Imogen Church.

Lovely Story!

Okay, so this was not at all what I was expecting, but in the very best way. I won't say more because I don't want to give away anything, but this one is WELL worth the credit. One of my favorite narrators, too.

Good story—- annoying narration

Story was great but o almost stopped listening bc of the strange narration mostly at the beginning

Fantastic

Very good novel. Keeps you on the edge. I love the character development. I love the mystery and twist. Couldn’t stop listening. The narrator is great. Her modulation of voice it’s sometimes funny but enjoyable.

When a fight gets out of hand

"I was sick and tired of being pushed around by the opposite sex, overlooked, dismissed, and taken advantage of."

This is the story of Kay and what happens when she has finally had enough.

Everything about the day is going wrong. To start she's been taunted by her pompous soon to be ex-husband who recently left her for another woman, at work she is overlooked for a promotion she was guaranteed to a young up and comer who just happens to be a man half her age and with half her experience, and thinking things couldn't get any worse she is practically run off the road by some jerk in his flashy car. Having finally had enough she follows the jerk to his house where she gives him a good telling off. He, of course, dismisses her as a crazy person which only stokes the fire of her rage further.

A minor detail she may have wanted to consider is that he lives just up the street from her so they will likely cross paths again.

Instead, Kay returns home and decides a bottle or two of wine is what she needs to shed the stress of her day. One glass, two glasses, three glasses, four - when a thought pops into her head. Who did that jerk think he was talking to her like that anyways? It's time to teach him a lesson with a little petty vandalism.

Problem is she has no idea who she is up against and this guy isn't going to let her off the hook that easily. Did Kay just invite a psychopath into the lives of her and her children?

While this isn't the most original story it was a proper page-turner. It's a popcorn popper where you just have to know what's going to happen next and how low these people are willing to go. I liked Kay a lot. She's a great mom to her 16 year old twins, a good friend, and an excellent employee. This is a story of when someone who has always played by the rules, snaps in moment of weakness, and the repercussions that are felt from it. I felt the ending was perfectly befitting to the story. I will gladly check out more books by Gemma Roger! 4 stars!

Imogen Church is one of my favourite narrators but she just missed the mark with this book. The delivery of the story was over top the top

Excellent Story!

What a great story this was. So different than the many others I’ve been reading lately. It was like enjoying a turkey dinner rather than expecting a sandwich for lunch. Will be looking for this writer for more great stuff!!
