Summary
The new must-have thriller from the best-selling author of Something in the Water.
The rules:
- Listen carefully.
- Do your research.
- Trust no one.
- Run for your life.
Harriet Reed is newly engaged to Edward Holbeck, the heir to an extremely powerful American family.
When Edward’s father hands her a tape of a book he’s been working on, she is desperate to listen. But as she presses play, it’s clear that this isn’t a novel. It’s a confession to murder.
Feeling isolated and confused, Harriet must work out if this is all part of a plan to test her loyalty. Or something far darker.
Because this might be a game to the Holbeck family—but games can still be deadly.
Ready or not, here they come....
Critic reviews
"Stylish, riveting, hugely atmospheric—I couldn’t put it down." (Lucy Foley)
"Engrossing and unputdownable." (Caroline Kepnes)
"Captivating doesn't cover it. Brilliant doesn't do it justice. This is a dazzling, gasp-inducing plunge-pool of a novel that grips your heart and mind and refuses to let go. Absolutely stunning." (BP Walter)

Great ending, long build up but it's needed
Another great book. Long build up, but it's necessary to lay the foundation of the story in my opinion!

Story dragged out too much
I was hooked by the concept & the characters but just felt it went on for too long. Could have knocked 3 hours off the story quite easily.
Narrator has a nice voice but doesn't diverse enough between characters.

very tense thriller
had me gripped, starts slow but builds to a nail biting conclusion. I really enjoys Catherine Steadman books and she narrates them so well,have readable of her books so far.
