    About this audiobook

    The latest heart-racing psychological thriller from the author of the bestselling The Good Mother. Perfect for fans of Lucy Clarke, Paula Hawkins and Lisa Jewell.

    Claire Carmichael leads a charmed life. She has two beautiful sons, Jamie and Joshua, and a handsome and successful husband who loves her. Even when she was in school, Claire had it all. She was clever, likable, and after passing the initiation tests, she was welcomed into the society of popular girls – The Queen Bees. So when a scandal threatened to ruin Claire's reputation, the Queen Bees closed rank to protect her, no matter who else got hurt. Claire may have moved on from her school days, but for one person who she hurt irreparably, those memories are as fresh as blood. And all it takes to reap their revenge, is ONE PERFECT LIE.

      Hmmm.... So the start was a bit boring but as soon as it flashed back to Claire and Paul in their teenage years I was all in. The plot was decent, and I loved Claire until I didn't lol. Great story. Great connection to the characters. Ending was a little abrupt but that's okay. The narration was top notch and the story kept me glued. Would recommend.

      I really enjoyed this book. I had an idea of what was going to happen but it didn’t change how much I enjoyed it and how the story played out. Great author and great narrator!

      Definitely drawn out. The voice of Paul was irritating. I knew the ending early on but listened to the end going to be pleasantly surprised. I wasn't. I like Imogen Church but every time she voices a male character, it's always breathy and irritating. Meh.
    • 2/5
      It was well written and well paced but it ended too abruptly and the message that women “cry rape” to preserve their reputations and/or exact revenge is extremely problematic and frankly kind of despicable. Would not recommend.
    • 4/5
      I enjoyed this book. It did jump around to the path in the future, but it was comprehensive. That little twist at the very end, yes that was good.
    • 5/5
      I liked the story. And as always voice actor Imogen Church's narration was excellent. This is a work of fiction from an excellent author that doesn't need to represent or have a voice for anybody. It's a story. That's it. Well done! Thank you KO!
    • 5/5
      GREAT read…Didn’t see the ending coming. Awesome character development! And of course, Imogen Church reading it is the icing on the cake!
