Summary

When you put the past behind you, but the past won’t leave you behind....

Laura and Jack Harrington are the archetypal career couple. Good-looking and hard-working with a great life outside working hours. They live in a trendy flat and look forward to starting a family. But Laura is still haunted by her "dark days" - memories of being bullied by a girl at school. She is finding it hard to conceive and fears this is the result of the illness that followed her traumatic experience as a teenager.

As Laura fights to deal with her emotions, Jack throws himself into his work, having just landed himself a new job. When his new personal assistant arrives, he is relieved to find HR have found someone just as efficient as his previous one.

He has no idea how much effort she had gone to, to become Jack Harrington’s PA, who she really is, and what she has planned....

This tale of human weakness and revenge is an edge-of-your-seat story and will have listeners addicted right to the end.

Powerful psychological thriller

A strong story of suspense, told through dual timelines. The characters are complex and fascinating. Bullying themes are explored throughout.

Great but..

Great story and narration, but the editor needs sacking. So many times where the narrator repeats or corrects herself, which should have been removed.

GRIPPING

Great listen. Once I’d started it I couldn’t stop. Loved the tension throughout and the play off between the two main characters.

Fire the editor!

Excellent read, thoroughly enjoyed and would recommend, but unfortunately peppered with various moments of repetition on the recording which sometimes happens but too many here!!

Excellent read

Kept excited right through. Great read. I was bullied and it really can have a negative impact on you for the rest of one's life. Totally understood how Laura felt!!

Loved the story, although poor editing

Story line was great, although the ending was a little disappointing but then they often are.
So many mistakes on the editing side though - not the narration, but many many repeated lines.

Wanted to like this...

I really wanted to enjoy this book but it was all over the place, unbelievable and predictable. If only we could have characters that were not just black and white, good and bad but human beings. We know that the ending of this would be highly unlikely so disappointed throughout and to the bitter end.
