    About this audiobook

    The twisty psychological thriller from the Sunday Times bestselling author of After Anna and Seven Days

    Everyone lies…but some lies are deadly.

    For Claire Daniels, life is good. She has everything she’s ever wanted – a career she loves, friends she can rely on and a husband who dotes on her. All she needs is to start a family of her own and things will be even better than good.

    They’ll be perfect.

    For Alfie, it couldn’t be more different. His life with Claire is built on a lie. A lot of lies. And she can never find out.

    Because Alfie has plans for her. Plans which must never come to light. But lies have a way of taking on a life of their own, and when his do, the consequences threaten to destroy everything.

    For him and Claire.

    • 5/5
      Great book! I really liked the characters. I even found myself liking the "bad guy" towards the end. Nice twist, unique story. I'll be looking at hearing more books by same author asap.
    • 1/5
      Extremely predictable. I don't understand how this is rated so highly.
    • 4/5
      I enjoyed this. Quite a lot of twists and turns. Great characters. One real bag of dog shit and several other halfway decent people. It kept me up late turning pages.
    • 5/5
      Claire and Alfie are the “it couple”. They have everything going for them. They have good jobs, money, and a marriage that everyone envies. But there is one dark cloud in this picture; something missing. A baby. It isn’t like they haven’t tried To have a but it just isn’t happening for them and is starting to affect their relationship. And that isn’t the only dark cloud. This is a delicious game of cat and mouse. But who’s the cat and who’s the mouse? I read one of Alex Lake’s previous books “copycat” and loved it. This one did not disappoint. It’s an intriguing ride full of spins and turns and things aren’t always what they seem. 4 1/2,stars for me.
