What to expect

Ten years of marriage. Ten years of secrets. An anniversary they’ll never forget.

'One of my favourite thriller writers.' Harlan Coben

Adam and Amelia are spending the weekend in the Scottish Highlands. The remote location is perfect for what they have planned.

But when their romantic trip takes a dark turn, they both start to wonder – can they trust the one they’re with?

Because every couple tells little white lies. Only for Adam and Amelia, the truth is far more dangerous.

Wow. I’ve read one other Alice Feeney novel so my expectations were pretty high but this exceeded all expectations. It was an incredible, twisted, tense story. Excellent narration and well worth a listen.

I thoroughly enjoyed the twists and turns of this thriller! Warning - you won’t be able to put it down.

I thought I had it solved until the very end.

Brilliant story, excellent narration - and I loved the ability to see the lovely illustrations at the beginning of each chapter.
