Ever had one of those phone calls that flips your world upside down? Grady Green does when he dials his wife Abby to celebrate big news—she slams the brakes, steps out, and poof, gone. Her car sits abandoned by a cliff's edge, headlights glaring into the night, phone clutched like a lifeline. A year on, grief-stricken and blocked, Grady retreats to a windswept Scottish island to reclaim his spark as a writer. Then, heart-stoppingly, he spots her—a woman identical to Abby, stirring doubts that claw at his sanity.
Alice Feeney, the million-copy bestselling queen of twists, delivers her darkest tale yet on marriage's fragile underbelly. Wives expect husbands to evolve; husbands bet wives stay the same. But change? It's the venomous twist here. Enhanced by stellar sound design—think relentless ocean waves crashing around the island and the ominous tick-tock of a metronome—this Macmillan Audio production pulls you under.
Richard Armitage, voice of Thorin from The Hobbit, and Tuppence Middleton from Downton Abbey, trade regal poise for raw suspense. Their British accents layer tension, making every whispered doubt and frantic heartbeat pulse through your earbuds. Booklist raves about the 'whiplash' in this superbly read seventh Feeney thriller, while Mary Kubica calls it magnetic, Chris Whitaker unforgettable.
