About this listen

Shortlisted for The CWA New Blood Dagger

You love him. You trust him.

You can't escape him.

Mia thinks she has escaped her controlling ex-husband, Rob. She's found herself a new home, a new boyfriend and a new life.

But when the police arrive to tell her that Rob has been found dead on his boat, things quickly fall apart. Mia is terrified she'll be suspected, however the police are keeping all options open. They know Mia had reason to hate her ex-husband, but she's not the only one. Plenty of people wanted Rob Creavy dead, not least his new wife, Rachel. 

What they don't know is that Mia has a secret, one she's desperate to protect.

But someone else knows. Someone with very dark secrets of their own....

A claustrophobic, twisty psychological thriller about love, trauma and revenge - perfect for fans of, The Holiday, Something in the Water and The Woman in Cabin Ten.

Critic reviews

Addictive, I was gripped from the opening chapter. A brilliant debut (Jo Spain, author of THE CONFESSION)

Started off quite promising, but as the book went on, it didnt go anywhere and got boring.

Was also quite confusing with whose story was being told.

Didn't go anywhere
