‘Hooks you in to the drama straight away’ The Sun

Every marriage has its secrets…

Beth and Tom Hardcastle are the envy of their neighbourhood – they have the perfect marriage, the perfect house, the perfect family.

When the police knock on their door one evening, Beth panics. Tom should be back from work by now – what if he’s crashed his car? She fears the worst.

But the worst is beyond imagining.

As the interrogation begins, Beth will find herself questioning everything she believed about her husband.

They’re saying he’s a monster. And they’re saying she knew.

Just finished the 3rd book in the trilogy of the u201cThe Serial Killersu201d yes I know itu2019s not technically the third, but was the way I listened to them. To be honest this one isnu2019t as good as the other two might be as it was the first and a new type of format to write. The plot was imho rather weak and the ending was seen as far back as half way through including the details in the epilogue.
Saying that, itu2019s was an enjoyable listen and passed 10 hrs
I listen to and read a lot of psychological thrillers so perhaps Iu2019m being too harsh. Yes I would recommend it and now looking forward to Bad Apple
