PREPARE TO BE HOOKED by the brand new thriller from Lisa Jewell, author of the Sunday Times bestselling novels None of This Is True and Don't Let Him In.

This audiobook is read by a full cast including Lesley Sharp, James Norton, Joanna David, Emilia Fox, Freddie Fox, Tim McInnerny, Ella Rae Smith, Harriet Fisher, Elsa Lepecki Bean and Roy McMillan.

It was the night she almost died.

Jane Trevally, newly divorced and feeling a little lost, agrees to accompany a man she doesn't know to his house in the darkest corner of Hampstead Heath. She's offered a drink, goes in, and then - a scream and the sound of something falling upstairs - Jane senses she's in a bad place. She runs.

Twenty five years later, Jane finds herself outside the same house, this time to return a small white dog who's been found near her home in the country; a dog whose owner has just been reported missing.

A fleeting glimpse of a haunted looking woman through the window sends Jane on a mission to uncover the house's secrets - secrets more terrifying than she could have ever imagined, especially when she realises it could have been her. . .

'A deliciously twisted gem of a thriller and her best yet' CLAIRE DOUGLAS
'A true masterpiece' ANDREA MARA
'Superbly written, entertaining and twisty' LIZ NUGENT
'Dark, intense, brilliant' SHARI LAPENA

I don’t know how she does it, but again, it’s her best book yet. Absolutely stunning storytelling, with layer after layer deftly and tantalisingly revealed, and a denouement that is so perfect, so devilishly clever, and yet I didn’t see it coming. A true masterpiece
