What to expect

Tamia Challey is horrified when her husband, Scott, is accused of something terrible - but when she discovers who his accuser is, everything goes into free fall. Backed into a corner and unsure what to think, Tamia is forced to choose who she instinctively believes. But this choice has dire consequences for all concerned, especially when matters take a tragic turn.


Then a stranger arrives in town to sprinkle rose petals in the sea in memory of her lost loved one. This stranger carries with her shocking truths that will change the lives of everyone she meets, and will once again force Tamia to make some devastating choices . . .

Critics Review

Liked The Ice Cream Girls? You'll love this
Cosmopolitan
If you only do one thing this weekend, read this book. It's another utterly brilliant psychological thriller from the author and we one hundred per cent recommend it
Sun
Pacy and compelling, the twists and turns come thick and fast with a surprise round every corner... a must-read
Heat
Fast-moving, and compelling.
Sunday Mirror
Full of mystery and intrigue, it's a book that will grip you from the very start.
Take a Break
A powerful thriller about a woman's life unravelling... we were hooked from the start
Company
I enjoyed the passion and power with which Koomson writes, and her portrayal of an emotional underworld in which nothing is clear-cut and the line between guilty and innocent is blurred
Daily Mail
Cleverly told by three female narrators, this is a complex tale of a terrible crime... I was gripped from the start of this book and desperate to uncover the truth

When you read the bio. Says its a psychological thriller... having spent almost 18 hours listening to it. Would only describe it as a well written romance with a large twist in its tail.
The storyline is good, however, better use of (how can I put it, without being described as racist), ethnic voice actors to emphasise the characters being portrayed.
Would I recommend it, probably not as a thriller. But for someone who likes general romance then maybe
