About this listen

The chilling new psychological thriller from the bestselling author of I Am Watching You.

On a train with her husband, miles from home and their four-year-old son, Ben, Sophie receives a chilling phone call. Two boys are in hospital after a tragic accident. One of them is Ben.

She thought she could trust Emma, her new friend, to look after her little boy. After all, Emma’s a kindred spirit—someone Sophie was sure she could bare her soul to, despite the village rumours. But Sophie can’t shake the feeling that she’s made an unforgivable mistake and now her whole family is in danger.

Because how well does she know Emma, really? Should she have trusted her at all?

Time is running out. Powerless to help her child, still hours from home, Sophie is about to discover the truth. And her life will never be the same.

Mystery

Liked performance. Mystery of how deep did this woman go? Some characters “thrown in” at the end.

Great story/poor narration!

I loved “I am Watching You” and couldn’t wait to hear this one too! This narration was too fast and too monotone... I couldn’t tell the main characters apart! It made it confusing and frustrating at times. I stuck it out because I trusted it would be a good story... and it was!

What A Great Story!

This was an awesome book! The story unfolded chapter to chapter, keeping my interest going. When the truth came out it really threw me. Didn't see it coming. That's a great story in my eyes. A definite plus to add in anyone's library. Really enjoyed it and feel it was well worth the money. 😀😀

Not what I thought and I like it

I figured on the fact that the friend might be crazy. That is not exactly a spoiler. It is hinted at from page one. What I really liked was how the good people did bad things, but we still have sympathy, and even don’t mind when serious crimes are committed. There are some red herrings in there too. Clever. I like what you did, Teresa.

The Friend should come with a TRIGGER WARNING!

I hope to be able to explain without ruinning the book. It is very well written and performed. Some of the content touches on child abuse. I was unable to finish it. If this doesn't bother you then by all means, enjoy a great story.

Excellent!! Excellent! Excellent!!!

It's official. I have a new favorite author!

Her characters are vibrantly created, and her plots are expertly woven. In this novel, Driscoll returns to the small British village from "I Am Watching You."

I loved this book and "Watching" so much that I bought this one immediately after finishing "Watching" and listened to in less than 12 hours.

You'll have to excuse me, as I must go buy another book by Me. Driscoll! :-)

Unexpected Twist

Great story with an unexpected twist, for the greater good. Okay, I won’t say anymore,—no spoiler alerts...
