About this listen

A deviously twisty novel of psychological suspense about secrets, neighbors, a need to belong, and murder by the award-winning author of The Maid’s Diary.

Socially awkward Chloe Cooper divides her time between dog walking, bartending, caring for her ailing mother, and at a safe distance, watching people and inventing the stories of their lives. Like Chloe’s new neighbors: glamorous influencer Jemma Spengler and Jemma’s husband, Adam, a renowned surgeon. They’re attractive, wealthy, and in a house of open windows, so exposed.

A move to the Pacific Northwest is supposed to be a fresh start for Jemma and Adam. It’s a renewed commitment to a marriage fractured by secrets. A chance to work through the tragic losses in their past. For Jemma, however, this new beginning also comes with an unnerving sensation that she’s being watched.

Then, on a fog-shrouded beach early in the morning, Chloe witnesses the murder of a swimmer. Her suspicions aroused, she suddenly sees her neighbors in a sinister new light. But as a detective and her partner close in, nothing is quite as it seems. Because the Spenglers are not the only ones with secrets. And Chloe isn’t the only one who’s been watching.

Captivating Characters

I really enjoyed this thriller by White. It was fast paced and kept me engaged throughout. It's also part KU, no need to spend if you have KU. WELL WORTH IT EITHER WAY!

3.5 Stars - Decent Story

Nothing mind-blowing or groundbreaking, but a solid story. Didn't really connect with any of the characters, but the story was interesting enough. Kept me engaged, but very forgettable.

Fantastic!!

This was the best book I have listened to for a very long long time. What an excellent storyline and so very well written and narrated. Everything was 5 stars about this book. I was so drawn into the characters I could not stop listening. I will be thinking about this book for a long time. Don't hesitate...it's definitely worth a credit.

Twists and turns all the way through!

I was a little concerned at first because all characters were terrible people! Not one sympathetic character other than the dogs! I am so glad I continued listening because this is one of the best books I’ve read this year. Characters remained unsympathetic but I couldn’t wait to see what happened next.

I am amazed at the twists!

I loved this book! This is my new favorite author. This book twisted into something that I could not imagine. I was reluctant to give up my credit but someone said that it was worth it and it certainly was! Thank you customer ratings!

Reba Buhr's performance is perfect!

WOW. Loreth Anne White is an exceptional writer. If you've not read any of her books by now, you should start by reading The Swimmer: A Novel.
A good writer can tell a story, but a great writer can pull your emotions into the story. Great character development creates empathy where it belongs, anger when justified, anxiety, pain, and sorrow. These are just a few of the emotions invoked in me as I read The Swimmer.
Kudos to the wonderful voice talent of Reba Buhr on Audiobook. My 'internal' voice would not have done this book justice. - Mr.Bill
