About this listen
This title contains strong language and mature themes, including references to sexual violence, abuse of minors and animals, and suicide, that some listeners may find upsetting. Discretion is advised.
I just met my new son-in-law . . . And he’s my ex-husband.
They’re here. I watch them arrive from the kitchen window. My pregnant daughter and her new husband. They’ve barely known each other six months.
I greet him with a tight smile that he recognizes as fake.
Luke is no good for my beautiful, fragile Cerys. He’ll break her heart. I know that because he broke mine — when he was married to me.
I don’t know what he’s after. But I’m going to make it my business to find out.
Don’t underestimate me. I’ll do anything to keep my daughter safe.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 2,151
Lana Fleming’s sister has vanished from the set of TV’s hottest show, and no one seems to care. Desperate for answers, Lana sneaks in as an extra, only to get stranded with Griffin Hart, an A-list action star with a reputation for good abs and bad decisions. Though Griffin didn’t expect to be cast as a librarian’s sidekick in a real-life thriller, he’s weirdly into it—and into her. Even more unsettling—she sees right through his playboy persona. But their meet-cute soon turns deadly when they uncover a Hollywood scandal for the ages.

Bartosz and Angelika (he’s a chef, she’s a former sex worker) carry debts to the other couples they don’t even realize they owe.

Nathan Tyler is an unassuming professor at a middling American university with a rather obscure specialty in mathematics—in short, a nobody from nowhere. So why is the White House calling? Summoned to Washington, DC, for a top-secret briefing, Nathan discovers that he’s the key to a massive foreign intelligence breakthrough. Reading between the lines of a cryptic series of equations, he could open a door straight into the heart of the Kremlin and change the global balance of power forever.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

I thought moving to this quiet cul-de-sac was the fresh start my husband and I needed, escaping the noise of our cramped flat in Hounslow. I left India and all that was familiar for a new life with him in England. But my husband works all hours, leaving me alone in a house that doesn’t feel like a home. Our neighbours notice the bruises on my arms. They draw the obvious conclusions. They seem kind, but they’re hiding something. I just can’t shake the feeling that someone is always watching me . . . waiting. My husband’s working late. Again. That’s when I see it.

Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

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.

Amazing
What a good book. Amazing storyline. I wouldn’t have been so protective of my daughter after she married my ex husband though.

Cerys was the most irritating I hate to say stupid character I have ever read. I stopped listening multiple times but only came back because I wanted to know the end.

The daughter is awful!!
The narrators did well, but oh my God this daughter is awful, entitled and needs a wake up call in the beginning of the book. Getting with your mom’s ex, regardless if you didn’t know right away. When you found out a break up should have ensued. Weird plot, but ok enough to listen to through the end.

If You LOVE DRAMA!!!!!!!!
First off the narrator was fantastic for these characters!
This is kind of a Mildred Pierce-esque type of story. Mother/Daughter love rivalry with crazy plot twists. But this is a 1990's Old School Lifetime Movie DRAAAMMAAAA! So if you are into those types of stories you will love this. I have to agree with the other reviewers: The character of the daughter is insanely annoying!! There are soooo many times in this story I wanted to pull out my motherly belt, give her a spanking, and send her to her room for the duration!! When the mother's voice came back into the story I was relieved and was like - shut up kid, grown ups are talking! Yet even with all of that her character was written appropriately for her age and situation but still. So kudos to the writer for keeping her consistent.
The daughter did make me roll my eyes a lot but I loved this story. I would love a continuing novel that turned into an actual haunting because there is enough history on this land to warrant one. I identified with the character of the mother for sure. However, having raised a daughter myself, I would not have been so clingy but I do understand the choices the mother makes.
Do I recommend? YES! Especially if you like love, mystery, drama or old Lifetime movie plotlines. Which I do.

Characters are very well defined— very visual.
There was a lot of time spent on things that just happen if you’re a landowner or a farm owner and you have to take care of them; nothing salient to moving the story forward at all.

Brilliant Narration, Ridiculous Story
I should’ve read the other reviews and realized what I was getting into- all of these characters are the worst people ever, and not in a fun psychopath way, but like in a reality tv show way. The narration is phenomenal, but the story line, yikes!

Never grabbed my attention
Unfortunately, this was not to my liking. Each to their own. I've got a great collection of books by Jane James and have enjoyed them. Narration was excellently presented. I'll be looking for more by James.
