Publisher's summary

A recovering alcoholic’s dark secrets catch up with her in this gripping novel of psychological suspense from the internationally best-selling author of The Rumor.

“Instantly immersive, then intriguing, then insanely suspenseful, then...the truth. Believe me, Lesley Kara knows what she’s doing.” (Lee Child)

We said to keep it a secret, that no one needed to know.

Astrid is newly sober and trying to turn her life around. Having reluctantly moved back in with her mother, in a quiet seaside town away from the temptations and darkness of her previous life, she is focusing on her recovery. She’s going to meetings. Confessing her misdeeds. Making amends to those she’s wronged. If she fills her days, maybe she can outrun the ghosts that haunt her. Maybe she can start anew.

But someone is tormenting me now. Someone knows where I am and what I’ve done.

Someone knows exactly what Astrid is running from. And they won’t stop until she learns that some mistakes can’t be corrected. Some mistakes, you have to pay for....

The question is: Who did you tell?

Great story

Lots of twists and turns in this one! At times, it seemed that every character could be guilty of something. And, although I don’t have the affliction, I think it must explain and understand alcoholism or addiction in a very specific way. It quickly reached the point where I couldn’t put it down!

Heartbreaking and Suspenseful

I found the writing about addiction to be powerful and I did not see some of the twists and turns coming that this story took. Job well done.

Good slow burning psychological suspense novel.

This read was true to the psychological suspense genre for me. It's about a newly sober alcoholic in recovery, who has just gotten out of treatment and moved in with her mother, away from her old life in London. Astrid is the main character, she struggles to live a new life without alcohol and drugs. Astrid is going to Alcoholics Anonymous regularly, and is trying hard to straighten out her life and build a new relationship with her mother, who distrusts Astrid because of her past and her constant lying and broken promises. Astrid struggles to make new friends as well because of her terrible past. Someone in her old neighborhood knows about Astrids past, her secrets, and is following her and leaving her nasty threatening notes. But who?
After getting into a couple of chapters I thought this book was going into too much detail, and the pace was set very slow. But as I kept reading, I realized the author was just giving the viewer a very detailed description of what it's really like to be a newly sober alcoholic struggling to live a life without alcohol and drugs. It's very raw and terrifying for an addict to live without mind alternating chemicals that helped them cope with life. There is so much denial; they do not want to face the real truth of their actions of what they have done when they are under the influence. They do things they would never otherwise do when they use. Then the next day when sober they are filled with guilt, shame and remorse and have a hard time dealing with what they have become, so they drink more to forget.
Wow the author was correct in every aspect. I have family members who are in recovery so I've seen first hand what is like. A real psychological nightmare at first until they work through the steps and learn how to live a new life without chemicals.
Good strong story and writing. The suspense is given at a slow but steady pace. Great buildup of the story. You never know who is really Astrid's stalker, and there are many suspects. There were a some good twists in this story... but that ending! You never knew who it was until the end, and you find true evil really exists (at least in this novel!)
This is the first book I've read by Lesley Kara, and I can't wait to go back and read her first novel "The Rumor". Very one credit worthy for me and the narrators did a great job. I highly recommend this slow burning psychological suspense book to anyone who enjoys the genre.

Surprisingly good!

I was all set to hate this one, but surprise! It was actually pretty good! It is true that the protagonist is very flawed and makes nothing but bad decisions over and over again. She dug her own grave with her constant lying, so it was hard to sympathize. The romance that develops is also heavy on the cheese, it was predictable and uninspired. Despite these obvious flaws, I still found this story to be entertaining and well-written. I found myself unable to stop listening and was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. There are surprises and plot twists that will keep you intrigued right up to the very end. If you enjoy a good thriller set in a lovely English seaside town, give this one a try. I'd definitely recommend it!

Not worth the credit, but I won’t return it

Not much of a storyline here. Hard to finish, but made it through after a time. The narrator was not my favorite. Rather dull and seemed to struggle a bit with different characters. Won’t do more of this one

Not worth the credit

Though I very much enjoyed the narrator, the story it's self wasn't good. Wish I would have saved the credit.

Great book

Really was a mindbending and interesting turn of events. I think it would make a great movie.
