Publisher's summary

I see my son’s scooter lying in the undergrowth. Time stands still. Where is he? Deafened by my own heartbeat, I keep looking, but I can’t see him. This is all my fault. My punishment for the things I did, and the things I should have done.

All I ever wanted was to keep my son safe. I married the perfect husband, built the perfect home. I’ve tried to give Finn the life I never had.

Everything was going so well. Until now.

It’s just small things at first - a punctured tyre, an open gate that I'm sure I locked. But then I see the photograph of two young girls, and a night I’ve tried to forget.

I know I have to stop pretending that nothing is happening. I can’t escape the truth.

Someone knows my secret. But what do they want from me?

A gripping and suspenseful thriller with a jaw-dropping twist.

Kept me engaged the entire time

This was a good story, well written, and excellent narration. It kept me engaged as the plot unfolded gradually, not in a sloppy manner. I kept wondering how it would end, suspecting all along that there were a couple of missing pieces that would somehow intertwine at some point; the end did not disappoint

I tried

I made it chapter 37 and just couldn’t listen any longer.
It was long and dragged the entire time.
I didn’t even care about how it ended.

This tale was right up my ally...I really enjoy British narrated thriller/mystery stories and this did not disappoint.
