About this listen

One evening as the sun is setting, Amelia Madison’s car slides into the sea off Mason’s Pier. Her body is never found.

Two years later, Elena Langdon meets Nicholas Madison. She is grieving the loss of her mother, he is grieving for his wife. Together, they can help each other.

Now, Elena is living with Nicholas. But Elena doesn’t really know him. She doesn’t know what he is capable of. And she doesn’t know what really happened to Amelia.

Until the day she discovers the torn page of a letter and the words she reads chill her to the bone.

Elena must find the person who wrote these letters if she is to save herself.

A totally breathtaking pause-resister about the darker side of love and what really goes on behind closed doors. This audiobook will have you gripped from the very first moment until the dramatic final twist.

Jumping Genres

Started as a better-than-average Evil Husband thriller, evolved into something nicely twisty that kept me listening closely. Then the ending took a flying leap into another genre, but I think maybe the author pulled it off. Maybe. Still scratching my head. Michele Moran reads wonderfully as always.

So many twists

Continuous suspense and read with such intensitty and emotion. Just when you felt you knew the plot, a new twist would take you down anither road. Couldn't put it down. I found myself constantly rooting for strength and demise.

Good book.

As a survivor of domestic violence, both as a child and wife, this story truly depicts the mind of a controlling, egotistical piece of crap Male person that will go to any lengths to maintain that control. It rang so true it was, at times, difficult for me to continue. It was very well written and narrated.

Captivating!

Slow start but only to grow more interesting to completely captivating. Very realistic and yet not.

Good Read

Very difficult to listen to at times. The author gets inside the head of the characters. I believe this is very realistic to the reality of domestic abuse. The end is very exciting and you can’t put it down!

Great portrayal of the life of a domestic violence

The author does a very credible job of shining a light into the world of the domestic violence victim. What begins as love slowly descends into a living hell. Not all stories end in happily ever after, but this one surprises you at the end.
