Publisher's summary

An absolutely gripping psychological thriller

All she wanted was the life they had....

It is the day of Erin’s 40th birthday party. Pink and silver balloons drift through her garden, the platters of food are empty, and the recycling is overflowing with empty wine bottles.

As Erin mingles with groups of family and friends, surrounded by love and laughter, she feels like the luckiest woman alive. She has no idea what fate has in store....

Then a little red envelope lands on the doormat and everything changes.

Inside is a birthday card from somebody she never dreamed would get in touch. Its message is a chilling reminder of the dark past that Erin has worked so hard to bury, a past that could put her precious family in terrible danger....

A gripping, spine-chilling listen brimming with secrets and lies. If you loved The Girl on the Train or The Woman in the Window then this dark, twisting psychological thriller from best-selling author Jess Ryder is guaranteed to have you gripped.

WOW! JUST WOW

This book was amazing from beginning to end. I wasn't expecting that ending at all! Worth every penny or credit.

Excellent suspense thriller!

I loved this book. It's definitely a stay-up-late, can't-turn-off audiobook! Great plot, unique, with interesting characters and excellent narration. Highly recommended!

I was definitely gripped!

I normally read/listen to history books or historical novels, but wanted to take a break and this book was an Audible Prime freebie that sounded interesting. It was a great read & actually gave me some insight into a few folks I know (know one quite this bizarre).

Jess Ryder is a very good writer and will probably listen to her books the next time I need a break from the throngs of history. 🤣

predictable but still very entertaining

This story was predictable and overly dramatic/fantastic like an after school special, but still entertaining. Great performance by the reader.

It was ok

This book started off well. However, the characters are not very likable. As it continues it just gets odd. I think the story line could have been better toward the end, there could have been better ways for it to end.

Completely predictable!

I’m so tired of reading about stupid women! The main character is tedious and annoying. Someone please write a story in which the plot line is not dependent upon a weak and idiotic woman. This character is not relatable, nor did I root for her. Her character development is inconsistent and chaotic making her totally unbelievable. And don’t even get me started on the Tom character or the ill-conceived, “happily ever after” ending.
