    About this audiobook

    She wants your life – and she’ll do anything to get it…

    Erica has always wanted to be exactly like her neighbour, Faye: beautiful, thin, and a mother. But Faye’s life isn’t as perfect as it seems – she has a terrible secret, and slowly but surely, it is threatening to destroy her and everything she holds dear.

    When Faye’s daughter Tamsin goes missing after school, the police turn to Erica. But is Erica the only one who has been enviously watching Faye? Or is there another threat hiding in the shadows…?

    A brilliantly tense and compelling thriller about jealousy, greed and desire from #1 ebook bestseller Amanda Robson. If you love this, don’t miss her new book My Darling.

      I seemed to be one step ahead of the story all the way through, the ending was very flat.
    • 3/5
      The back of the book strongly pushes the sex aspect of the story, but I think really the story is about grief. It explores different types, degrees, and methods of grieving, along with different losses — children, siblings, intimacy, innocence and purity. Will is self-analytical to an annoying degree, and there were several times when I just wanted him to shut up already. If you don’t mind that, this is a pretty good story. I do wish you got to spend some more time with Carole. She and Will don’t really come alive until the end of the story.
    • 4/5
      Things take a very bizarre turn about halfway through this book. But there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. The main character is a very over-analytical shrink and it can't be easy to have that kind of personality with the stuff he goes through in this book. Sometimes it feels like the author has thrown in everything possible. Marital trouble! Dead children! Estranged twins! Paternity tests! But it all ends up holding together quite well.Fascinating sexual-psychological character study and semi-suspense. One of the more interesting books I've read so far this year.
