    About this audiobook

    ‘Dark. Twisty. Addictive. I couldn’t put it down’ LISA JEWELL

    She loves her family. She’d never let anything happen to them . . . Would she?

    On the outside, Maddie is a happy young mother with a new baby. But on the inside, she’s afraid.

    Afraid that her marriage to Lucas isn’t what she thought.

    Afraid that she’s having mysterious blackouts where her memories should be.

    But how can she ask for help when something terrible is done to her family?

    Who can she turn to, who can she trust?

    And how does she know it wasn’t her?

    Full of twists and turns, this is perfect for fans of I Invited Her In and The Mother-in-Law.

    ‘More chilling than Gone Girl and twistier than The Girl on the Train, this emotional, raw, dark family drama keeps you guessing until the end’ JANE GREEN, author of The Friends We Keep

    ‘Truly gripping: the opening is heart-breaking and it never lets up, all the way to a genuinely shocking denouement’ ALEX LAKE, author of Seven Days
