About this listen

Our first mistake was trusting him. Our second was underestimating how far we would both go to hide our own dark secrets....

THE WIFE: Before my husband died, we were the perfect couple. Or so I thought. When a woman claiming to have been his mistress shows up on my doorstep with a child she says is his, I know she must be lying. Who is she and what does she want?

THE MISTRESS: I don’t want to tell his widow the truth about the man she married. But if I don’t get what I need, everything will have to come out. And what I know has the power to destroy her life.

We have both done things we wouldn’t want anyone to ever know about. If anyone found out, it would be the end of us. But if she tells, I tell....

And someone will have to die before this is over....

An utterly addictive thriller that will have you gasping out loud! Perfect for fans of The Perfect Marriage, The Wife Between Us, and The Wives.

Before I jump into my review, I want to note that I had to speed up the narration to 1.6x. Even though it was quite enjoyable, it felt a bit slow-paced at times. However, I still give it five stars because the narration was truly outstanding. Now, let's get to the review.

You might think you have the story all figured out, but trust me, it takes some unexpected turns that will leave you reeling. The second half is packed with surprises—just when you think you've got it down, another twist comes out of nowhere! It's absolutely mind-boggling. I really appreciate a solid domestic thriller that avoids the usual clichés, and this one definitely delivers.

I found myself unable to hit pause; it was a refreshing change from the typical offerings in the genre.

Kudos to the author for creating such a gripping book filled with surprising twists and turns that unfold throughout, not just at the end.

The writing is top-notch, making it really stand out in the domestic thriller category. If you are on the fence about it, just spin the credit because it really is a great domestic thriller.

Spend the credit.
