THE BIRDICT
š If the words āThey had the perfect marriageā¦ Or did they?ā are music to your ears then this audiobook will be too. Now, of course, this is a common thriller trope (Iām not complaining btw), but this is both a unique take on the genre and one of the cleverest of its kind.
š Revenge is very much the central theme, but around it orbit so many others, particularly relating to the nature of love and family. Whatās more, this has more layers than a Christmas trifle. So, even when you guess correctly on one aspect, there are several more you didnāt even realise were in play.
š§” This reminds me of Adele Parksās more recent novels and Heidi Perksās style. But the most comparable book I can think of is The Wife Between Us by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen.
SQUAWKING THE TALK
š§ The reason I started this review with an imagined trailer is because it reads like a movie. I could imagine every scene, every character. Georgia Maguire and Rachel Atkins are great picks as Mia and Charlotte, their voices distinct and fitting for the parts.
š§ Brilliant narration by two excellent actresses combines with Lucy Dawsonās skill to make this not only gripping, but easy to follow.

š The ending is balanced so perfectly between a cliffhanger and a resolution. I spent the entire book thinking Mia was Charlotteās sister (daughter didnāt occur to me) and this left it as a possibility.
