“Her best book yet.” —Harlan Coben

“Get ready for a bit of whiplash in mega-bestselling Feeney’s seventh thriller, superbly read by British actors Armitage and Middleton.”—Booklist

The million-copy bestselling Queen of Twists Alice Feeney returns with a gripping and deliciously dark thriller about marriage. . .

. . . and revenge.

Author Grady Green is having the worst best day of his life.

Grady calls his wife to share some exciting news as she is driving home. He hears Abby slam on the brakes, get out of the car, then nothing. When he eventually finds her car by the cliff edge the headlights are on, the driver door is open, her phone is still there. . . but his wife has disappeared.

A year later, Grady is still overcome with grief and desperate to know what happened to Abby. He can’t sleep, and he can’t write, so he travels to a tiny Scottish island to try to get his life back on track. Then he sees the impossible: a woman who looks exactly like his missing wife.

Wives think their husbands will change but they don’t.

Husbands think their wives won’t change but they do.

“Magnetic and jaw-dropping.” —Mary Kubica, bestselling author

'Unforgettable.' —Chris Whitaker, bestselling author

Started off thinking it would be rally good but turns out to be too unrealistic for me.

Twisty and twisted! I like it; narration excellent too

Profile Avatar Jenn C. Mar 2026

I read this in one day, absolutely amazing!

Profile Avatar Elle R. Feb 2026

My favorite! I’ve read this so many times and listened to the audiobook a lot!

Profile Avatar KathyTyreone Feb 2026

I really enjoyed this! I was so shocked at the ending. You want to be on one side but find yourself on the other at the end! So good

Honestly almost DNF. Had I of not spent a credit on this book and it was free…. Very very slow burn, was not anything hyped up through the entire book. No action or trauma, I felt it was all in the last few chapters. And was very predictable. Disappointed. I had no emotional connection or and reaction through the entire book. The twist felt too far stretched. Wasted my time really aggravating

Surprising twist I didn't see coming

Profile Avatar Tamara L. Aug 2025

I really enjoyed this book, I was a twisty engaging read. I saved quotes from it.

Profile Avatar BCos Aug 2025

Hard to have sympathy for main character, but still I enjoyed the book.

Profile Avatar Traci D. Jul 2025

I wanted to enjoy this and I stuck with it until the end, but overall I just didn't like it at all. The way in which the story unfolded was disappointing and anticlimactic. Disappointing - especially after all the hype.

Profile Avatar Richard K. Jul 2025

Books offer some strange twists that make it a great listen.

Profile Avatar Monny M Jul 2025

Weird twist at the end but this was a book full of surprises, intrigue and well balanced characters. I truly enjoyed it.

Profile Avatar Ronni D. Jun 2025

For me, the book was just OK. I kept listening mainly because the narrators were so engaging! The ending didn't make any sense to me at all!

Profile Avatar Trio Jun 2025

Great narrators! The ending was impossible to see coming.

Profile Avatar Heather B. May 2025

I read a different Alice Feeney book last year and was delighted with its twists and turns. I enjoyed this book just as much. I like when my suspicions are confirmed. I also like surprise that I don't see coming. This book had all of it. I think it might also have re-read potential so see if there are other hints and clues that I missed on the first go-through.

I enjoyed it a lot , well written and the narration is fabulous ! The only reason I didn’t give 4 stars is because it was a bit creepy and I didn’t expect that at all.

Profile Avatar Dana W. Mar 2025

The ending was as good as the beginning. Fun plot twists!

Profile Avatar Tatiana R. Mar 2025

There was a bit of a slow start but I simply increased the listening speed to meet my personal enjoyment. This book was very clever and eloquently written. The narration was amazing. The twists were so unpredictable and satisfying. The book was very unique and the use of wordplay was perfectly done. The ending left my jaw open!

Profile Avatar Frances S. Mar 2025

The narrator is really engaging.

Profile Avatar Angela W. Mar 2025

This book started off a little slow, but man oh man, is it worth it? It slowly continues to add details and such thrilling suspense, a mix of romance and working together for future dreams and suspense and oh my gosh what is happening now!!!!??? The audiobook adds sounds of the sea and crackling walkie-talkies. It really makes the book come alive.! I truly enjoyed this audio ! Perfect for hands free moments

Profile Avatar Madison M. Mar 2025

I really enjoyed this book. Some things were predictable, but most of it was not and I was genuinely surprised by the ending and the few twists thrown at the reader. Definitely recommend!

Profile Avatar Nordic Mar 2025

All though I didn’t care for the very end, it was a great listen! Something different, that’s for sure. This is my second Alice Feeney book, and I will be looking for more!

Profile Avatar ELIZABETH M. Mar 2025

I enjoyed the book. Narrators were excellent. It’s with the listen.

Profile Avatar Cynthia D. Feb 2025

Often I kind of see where a book is going at least by 3/4 in. However, I could not get a clue on this one until the unraveling it the end. Great twists, I didn't see it coming. I enjoyed this book. kept me intrigued and guessing. Well written. The narration was perfect So easy to follow. I may listen again, just to catch all of the twist nuances, now that I know what was happening.

Disappointing end.

Profile Avatar Greimann Feb 2025

Loved this book! I would have given more stars than 5! The characters were great! The story was interesting. This is a book I was drawn into! I had trouble putting it down. I didn’t have it all figured out by the end. I would highly recommend!

Profile Avatar Sally M. Feb 2025

So dark and twisted! I loved it! Didn’t see the end coming at all! Great narration too.

Profile Avatar DRama Feb 2025

I loved the ending, but I felt like it was too drawn out the first 3/4s of the book.
