About this audiobook

‘Unbelievably great!!!! I loved this book.’ NetGalley reviewer, 5 stars

Louise Bridges has the perfect life.

A loving husband, Patrick. Two adorable children. A comfortable home.

So when PC Becca Holt arrives to break the news that Patrick has been killed in an accident, she thinks Louise’s perfect world is about to collapse around her.

But Louise doesn’t react in the way Becca would expect her to on hearing of her husband’s death. And there are only three plates set out for dinner, as if Louise already knew Patrick wouldn’t be home that night...

The more Becca digs, the more secrets she uncovers in the Bridges’ marriage – and the more she wonders just how far Louise would go to get what she wants...

Is Louise a loving wife – or a cold-hearted killer?

Forced myself to finish this book. The story started off interestingly but chapters and chapters of going to the past to set the character was quite unnecessary to me. You might as well skip most of the first chapters with Becca because you'll just be reading about the same suspicions... only with a different pastry. The conclusion was as you'd expect, and there was nothing that made those hours of reading the rest of the book worth it.
