by Claire Kendal Narrated by Imogen Church

Overview

You don't see me
But I see you

From the author of The Book of You and The Second Sister, a twisty new thriller-perfect for readers of J.P. Delaney and Emily Elgar.

Holly Lawrence always wanted to be a spy, but the experience proved more dangerous than anything she imagined. Now, Holly lives under an assumed name, hiding from the man who nearly destroyed her life. She avoids relationships and trusts no one.

But Holly's new life begins to unravel when she encounters a young mother and her two-year-old child... a child who reminds her of a past she has tried hard to forget. This time, someone is spying on*her, and Holly will need to decide how far she is willing to go to survive.

Editorial Reviews

OCTOBER 2019 - AudioFile

Listeners will enjoy narrator Imogen Church’s ability to develop multiple characters as the plot of Kendal’s novel becomes increasingly complex. Holly’s story is told in alternating timeframes that allow listeners to understand how she evolves from being a failed applicant to MI5 to a woman involved in an abusive relationship. The narration takes advantage of Church’s ability to add English, Irish, and American accents to the dialogue, as well as infusing the characters with the necessary emotions to spur their actions. Holly’s character, in facing danger, trauma, and grief, gains sympathy as listeners are exposed to more twists, each giving them more reasons to understand what a difficult situation she finds herself in.
