About this listen

’Cleverly crafted, twisty, gripping and suspenseful’ B. A. Paris

Only the killer holds the key. . .

A Sunday Times Book of the Summer

IT WAS THE CRIME THAT SHOCKED A NATION.

The Flowers were the perfect family. Until the day fifteen-year-old Joseph shot dead his parents and baby brother whilst his younger sister Eve hid. The family home became known as ‘The Red House’, the place where the walls were covered in blood.

THEY THOUGHT THEY HAD THE KILLER.

No one knows why Joseph murdered his family: the following day he crashed his car and has been in a coma for two decades. Eve’s always known he did it; she saw the crime, after all.

WHAT IF THEY WERE WRONG?

Now an adult, Eve is forced to re-examine her memories when disturbing new evidence about the case comes to light. Rumour has it that Joseph created a hidden level in his game that night, which might hold the key.

But if Joseph didn’t do it, then the killer’s still out there – and they’re coming back for the girl who escaped. . .

It was nice to not have guessed the ending half way through for once!

All the signs were there but I casted them aside. 99% of the story played out exactly how I thought it would before the last chapter really took me by surprise. Throughout the story I found Eve frustrating and I was disappointed with the way the story was wrapping up. That was, until the very end! Although a story, I have grown fond of some of these characters and in my imagination I can but pray that history does not repeat itself...

A great listen

First time I have ever come across this author - this book deserves to be more well known, it's a really excellent thriller and has just about the best double plot twist at the end l have heard in ages. The narration is excellent throughout. Definitely recommend if you want something a bit different from the usual domestic thriller

Great book

I really enjoyed this story - can’t believe it’s a free book. Kept me interested the whole way though and as many have said before a brilliant twist at the end you’ll never see coming. 👍🏻

Originality

I liked this story for its plot and originality. what I didn't like is eels and snakes had to shut off as I hate these creatures. Very intriguing story with twists and turns.
