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.

life has a purpose even when you don't know

I like how the chapters were from the viewpoint of different characters. It was more interesting than from only the main character.

A Solid Mind-Break Read

Lots of twists and then it all comes together in the end. A little more lengthy than it had to be.
