About this listen

When the rules turn deadly, winning is everything.

Only available from Audible, a gripping psychological thriller from the author of Silent Child, Saving April, and The Broken Ones. Perfect for fans of Gillian Flynn, Lisa Jewell and Paula Hawkins.

This gripping multi-voice audiobook features Billie Piper as Effie, Dan Stevens as Ben, Shane Zaza as David, and Avita Jay as Sophie, other roles are played by Felicity Duncan, David Holt and Sarah Whitehouse.

The perfect couple. The perfect marriage. The perfect game.

Effie and Ben May have everything. Success. Beauty. Glamour. But beneath the charming smiles and expensive clothes, a twisted game is in progress.

A game for which only they know the rules.

Leaving their fast-paced London life behind them, the Mays move to the exclusive gated community of Ivy Oaks. Here they can settle down and start a family in this quiet, safe little neighbourhood. At least, that’s what they tell their new neighbours.

But the truth has deadly consequences.

While Effie and Ben scheme and manipulate those around them, they fail to notice their carefully cultivated façade crumbling away. The perfect couple soon turn the game on each other, breaking all the rules. But when the stakes are life and death, losing isn’t an option.

As the final cards are dealt, who will play the winning hand and who will pay the ultimate price?

Gripping twisty and well performed

It’s like a dark comedy mixed with a murder thriller. Enjoyed the twisty tale, great performances and intriguing characters. Sad it’s over!

Great listen!

It all got a bit OTT but thoroughly enjoyed it. Billie Piper was amazing! Nice to have something decent for free! Will check out more titles by this author.

Decent enough novel with excellent narration.

Really enjoyed this, the story isn't brilliant or particularly deep but that's definitely made up for with the excellent narration, primarily from Billie Piper and Dan Stevens, they really make the story come to life, allowing you to almost visualise the characters. If I had a complaint it would be the rather abrupt ending that seemed to just fizzle out compared to the attention given to the rest of story. Worth a listen IMO, especially if it's still on Plus.
