*Narrated by Emilia Fox*
IT STARTED WITH A KISS
AND ENDED IN MURDER...
In Poppy Page's mind, there are two types of women in this world: those who are faithful to their husbands, and those who are not. Until now, Poppy has never questioned which she was.
But when handsome, charming Matthew Gordon walks back into her life after almost two decades, that changes. Poppy makes a single mistake - and that mistake will be far more dangerous than she could imagine.
Someone is going to pay for it with their life . . .

Fab story, easy listening
A really enjoyable audio book, well read and unpredictable. I will definitely listen to more by this author.

Ok story but pretty irritating at times
The story was quite enjoyable although a little far fetched. But there were several areas that really annoyed me!
Betty for example is only 70, and yet she is described as an elderly old fashioned woman. My mum is 73 and would be furious at that comparison!
It also seems to be the theme of the story that no matter how anybody treats you, you should stay married and work it out for the kids sake. So old fashioned!
And the main character whining on about how hard it is as a working mum, when she has a mother in law living with her who pretty much does everything for her! Just not relatable!
Also the way she hasn’t spoken to her own mum in years for leaving her dad when she was 18?! Who behaves like that at that age!! Understandable from a child but not an 18 year old. She really is extremely self centred and takes no responsibility that everything that goes wrong for her, is of her own making!
A shame really as these areas really spoiled it for me and I couldn’t wait to finish it

Good story but…
… so badly written. Vastly drawn out and over done. Emelia Fox does a good job (apart from the Scottish accent?) but this book is at least 2 hours longer than it needed to be

Not for me
I just couldn’t get beyond the fact that all the characters, apart from Betty, were thoroughly unlikable. I need someone to become invested in. It seemed the characters “characters“ were, unnecessarily, too front and centre to let the story through. Like when you listen to bad book because the narrator is excellent or vice versa. Neither should usurp the other. But here it was like it would be if say the wrong actors had been chosen for the roles in play.

Brilliant
Fantastic intricate characters, beautifully and sensitively written and brilliant plot. What’s not to love?! I really do recommend this book. I had ideas about the backstories of the characters which were not explicitly confirmed and I like the ambiguity.
Emilia Fox brilliant as always.

Finally some different writing style
This is the first novel I’ve listen to from Jane Corry. Used to read thrillers who usually start with the crime committed and frantically searching for the motive and the murderer I was somehow surprised this was not the case in this novel. So, one question came up “where is the crime?”, well, I loved this different writing style! It’s original, refreshing and it makes you far more connected to the characters and their stories. I finished this one and went to start another one from Jane Corry (I Looked Away)

Enjoyable and good narration
Didn't like it as much as the previous Jane Correy book I read a few weeks ago but nonetheless it was enjoyable and well worth a credit

I made a mistake buying this
I hate criticising books that the author has sweated over but this for me was a very long drawn out ‘Poppy pity party’.
Hoorah for Betty who exudes resilience
Too long with too little content
I’ve lived other books by this author but this not so much
