Publisher's summary

A shadow follows Sophie. Watching. Waiting.

Her instinct tells her that it's someone she knows. But who? The man she met Internet dating? The nurse caring for her ill mother? Or is her mother faking her illness?

The only thing she knows is that she can't trust anyone. Sophie must delve into a dark history to reveal her stalker. But there are some stories that should never be told.

Critic reviews

"So many interesting characters that I ended up suspecting them all, but then the story twists and you're like... what?! Loved it." (Shalini Boland, author of The Girl from the Sea)

Does she not have the worst family ever?

Attention don’t read further if you don’t want spoilers:

First, if you have been traumatize abused or mistreated by a parent don’t read or listen to this book. I was praying for the mother’s death by the first chapter. The verbal abuse was especially hard to listen to. So sad! And the twin sister was not any better, terrorizing the protagonists like that instead of just confronting her. And in the end she just goes back to her sister.. Shrug. A short read, but I did enjoy the performance. It’s interesting to hear different regional UK accents.

The end left me scratching my head

Good story and good narrator. I wanted to smack the crap out of the mother. I listened to the end a second time to see if I missed something but I did not. I guess the author wants you to draw your own conclusion.

Would be 5 stars but…

The author uses dementia and Alzheimer’s interchangeably as if they’re the same disease. They’re not, and that aspect bothered me. However the story was so good that it’s actually disappointing that no one caught this error in publishing. Excellent “read” regardless!

what just happened

I had no idea how this story was going to turn the way it did. I thought it was pretty easy to figure out, but then out-of left field part 2 happened and bam!

Wonderful twists and turns.

Classic Sarah Denzil! First I thought she was boring, then I thought she was sad, then I thought she was crazy, then it all came into place.
