About this audiobook
A bride’s dream honeymoon becomes a nightmare when a man with whom she’s had a regrettable one-night stand shows up in this electrifying psychological thriller from the acclaimed author of Eight Perfect Murders.
Abigail Baskin never thought she’d fall in love with a millionaire. Then she met Bruce Lamb. He’s a good guy, stable, level-headed, kind—a refreshing twist from her previous relationships.
But right before the wedding, Abigail has a drunken one-night stand on her bachelorette weekend. She puts the incident—and the sexy guy who wouldn’t give her his real name—out of her mind, and now believes she wants to be with Bruce for the rest of her life.
Then the mysterious stranger suddenly appears—and Abigail’s future life and happiness are turned upside down. He insists that their passionate night was the beginning of something much, much more. Something special. Something real—and he’s tracked her down to prove it.
Does she tell Bruce and ruin their idyllic honeymoon—and possibly their marriage? Or should she handle this psychopathic stalker on her own? To make the situation worse, strange things begin to happen. She sees a terrified woman in the night shadows, and no one at the resort seems to believe anything is amiss… including her perfect new husband.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I thought this was an enjoyable thriller but a little predictable. Even though I did guess parts of the big twist I still really liked it. It made me wonder at times if Abigail was just being paranoid due to her infidelity or if something strange was actually going on. I would have rated this higher but I felt like the conclusion after the climax left me with some questions that weren’t answered, I kind of wish there had been a little bit more.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I liked the concept of the plot and was intrigued enough to keep reading, however, there were things in the book that I felt were very unnecessary and I did not need them in the book in order to think it was a good story.
Other than that, I enjoyed the thriller parts of the book. Also, there are trigger warnings so be sure to take a look at those prior to reading.1 person found this helpful

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Very predictable. I kept waiting for a big twist that never came ? It would probably be good for someone who hasn't read the genre to death though.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I could not stop listening. Edge of my seat the whole time. Great listen!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book will leave you on the edge !One of the best reads for 2022 !

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Interesting twists and turns modern day Wickerman the men are written as dunces
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great thriller! Will keep you on your toes. Unexpected ending.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Absolutely loved this book. I didn’t think I’d like it from the start but I’m so glad I continued to listen. The narrator was great and the book got better and better. I don’t read a lot of suspense or thrillers. After this book, I’m certainly gonna read more. Highly recommend!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Kept me interested until the very end of this mystery.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I didn’t know how it would ultimately end, but I did figure out the plot very early on. Still a good listen.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Really really average and weird
I read it solely because it was written by Peter swanson - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Fast paced thriller! Would recommend if you are looking for a quick read. The audio book by harper studio is well done.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Interesting plot. Worth the read and the narration was good too.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Wonderful in the way it reaches your imagination
The narrative is very good
I enjoyed the plot
I had a hard time stopping to do anything else
Bravo - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This one definitely got better as it went on. At first, I couldn’t get used to the narrator. There were moments she was excellent and others, like when doing the voices of men, I couldn’t get used to. However, once I did get used to it, I devoured the book quickly. An easy kind of read good for listening in the car! Pretty faced paced toward the end. There of course were moments that I thought seemed far fetched and silly but that’s not a terrible thing for an easy, thriller type of read.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Really enjoyed this book! I was on the edge of my seat!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is an absolutely MUST listen audiobook!! You definitely won’t regret it as the twists and turns will have you on the edge of your seat!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great thriller!!! Wow!! Was not expecting the ending. Read it!!! ?
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Super slow and the end did not make it worth it in my opinion. Fell short in more ways than one.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Who needed this book to be published? Really enjoyed a previous book by the author, but after this supremely offputting read I doubt I’ll be revisiting this author. Another commenter noted that this book seemed like misogyny dressed as feminism, and that about sums it up. Regret deciding to finish it.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is very entertaining. It is worth your time.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Talk about a book waiting until the last two chapters to pick up the action. I really wanted to believe that the ending is possible. But ignoring the reality bit - it was a good book. Slow paced for the most of it, but good ending.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I highly enjoyed this novel! It kept my attention from beginning to end!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5That was incredibly interesting looooll! A good read… go for it!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This story went exactly how I thought it would go, so the twist wasn’t a surprise for me, but I ready 3-5 mysteries a week so I am hard to fool. However, I liked the premise and the writing was engaging and well planned. Overall, I would recommend!
