What to expect

Random House presents the audiobook edition of Open Your Eyes by Paula Daly, read by Julie Maisey.

Haven’t we all wanted to pretend everything is fine?

Jane doesn’t like confrontation. Given the choice, she’ll let her husband, Leon, fight their battles. She’d prefer to focus on what’s going well, the good things in life.

But when bestselling crime author Leon is brutally attacked in the driveway of their home, in front of their two young children, Jane has to face reality. With her husband in a coma, Jane must open her eyes to the problems in her life, and the secrets that have been kept from her, if she’s to find out who hurt her husband – and why.

Maybe it’s time to face up to it all. Who knows what you might find . . .

PRAISE FOR PAULA DALY:

‘The UK’s answer to Liane Moriarty. Amazing.’ Claire McGowan

‘Thoroughly enjoyable – a big-hearted, empathetic novel about ordinary lives and the tremors that can rock them.’ Guardian

‘Kept me guessing right until the end. I devoured it.’ Claire Douglas

‘Deliciously dark and addictive. I defy anyone starts it not to race through the pages until they reach the final, brilliant twist.’ Colette McBeth

‘She writes with a singular voice and a fierce passion that roars off the page.’ Daily Mail

Critics Review

Dark and delicious . . . Daly does it again!
L V Hay, author of THE OTHER TWIN
Effortless writing, brilliant storytelling, characters that you really root for (even the villains!) So cleverly done. Her books just get better and better.
Susi Holliday, author of THE DEATHS OF DECEMBER
Brilliant characters, fast paced and gripping.
Claire Douglas, bestselling author of LOCAL GIRL MISSING
An electrifying plot that keeps you guessing to the last.
Fiona Barton, bestselling author of THE WIDOW and THE CHILD
Yet another gripping, heartbreaking read from a brilliant writer.
Jill Mansell, author of YOU AND ME ALWAYS
I always know I'm in safe hands when I open a Paula Daly novel. She's a hugely talented writer - one of the very best domestic noir authors in the UK - and her ability to craft a twisty, compelling plot is masterful. Open Your Eyes was thrilling, compelling, clever and hugely entertaining. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough.
