What to expect
A brilliantly claustrophobic psychological thriller from bestseller Nina Manning
No one is good enough for her son…
As a single mother, Annie has an especially close relationship with her son, Ben. They have always been together. Just the two of them. So, when Ben brings home his mysterious beautiful new wife, Daisy, immediately Annie doesn’t trust her. Who is this woman who has taken her son away from her? And what is she hiding?
She’ll protect him with her life…
When Ben disappears, suddenly Annie and Daisy are all the other one has. Alone in Annie’s big, remote house, just the two of them, the tension is rising. And like any protective mother, Annie will stop at nothing to expose her new daughter in law, and the secrets she is hiding…
A gripping, psychological page-turner, perfect for fans of Sally Hepworth's The Mother In Law, Lisa Jewell and K.L. Slater.

User Reviews
The story starts off, in what I would class as a romantic novel. However after a few chapters, you start to get the vibes of the story, and the deeper into it the more the story unfolds
Unfortunately, as an avid reader, listner of this genre, I picked up the plot faitly early on. But that didn't distract me from finishing.
Its a very well wriiten book and totally non fiction, I can see some resemblances to real life
Would I listen, read another of her book, most definitely.Woyld I recommend it big Yes
