Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,697
Five words - that’s all it takes to plunge Mike Wingate and his family into mortal danger. Mike doesn’t recognise the crippled stranger who approaches him at a party...but the stranger seems to know all about him. What has Mike done? Do they have the wrong man? Overnight, the threats become attacks, and Mike, his wife, and their young daughter learn they aren’t safe anywhere - especially not their own home. He doesn’t know who they are. He doesn’t know what they want. But there’s no time to figure it out - because his enemies have killed before, and he’s next.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 638
'Evan. It's your mother. I heard you help people....' Evan Smoak used to be known as Orphan X: a figure as elusive as a rumour, until he came to the rescue of those who most desperately needed his help. The kind of help no one else could provide. The kind that caused concern in the corridors of power. As a boy he'd been plucked from a foster home and trained as an off-the-books assassin inside a top secret US government programme. Which is why, even forced into early retirement, he dare not trust the phone call.

Great story telling as always. Love the characters and the relationship of Joey and Evan.
Love Scott Brick's narration. I would choose a book because he narrated it

Does not disappoint
Reviewed: 28-05-23
I enjoyed this even more than the stories of the Seven Sisters, so cleverly bringing everything together. A great stand alone listen and even better if you have listened to the preceding books. I was glad it was so well written and narrated that I didn't stop to think whether it was Lucinda or her son who wrote any particular part. A great read

Perfect narration
Reviewed: 17-02-23
I read this first when I was 15. Loved the book, loved the film and was hesitant to listen in case it didn't live up to my own expectations but Jim Fyfe nailed it.
A great listen from a great author and I only just learned she was 16 when she wrote it. Amazing insights

What if the perfect life you envy was rotten to the core? Three brand-new friends. Three very different families. Way too many secrets. Gisela, Sally and Kate become close when they move into the same new housing estate. But behind their shiny front doors, each has something to hide. Three lives collide in this gripping story about friendship, motherhood and marriage and the façade of perfection people present to the world.

Authentic and cleverly observed
Reviewed: 29-04-20
I loved this book, it's characters and the settings, for its authenticity and well observed accuracy.
Really just a story of every day life with its many twists and curves that most of us go through in one sense or another.
The portrayal of the photos and hash tags with the real story behind them was such a clever idea and really illustrated the story and its message so well.
I love the balanced view throughout that shows the different angles of thoughts and feelings and of how we react inside our heads in contrast to what we do at times.
Just a throughly good read.
Thank you Kerry

One of his best
Reviewed: 07-04-16
Another really entertaining novel where there is no way you can work out the twists and turns so you are kept guessing right until the end.
Much appears to have been made by other reviewers of the fact it is a female lead and it doesn't quite sit right or Maya is not an authentic character. As a woman, I thought he got it spot on. You would not be able to well whether the author was a man or a woman if you had not read one of Harlan's books previously. I am not sure what many men are expecting from a female character or what they really think women are like.
Well impressed and enjoyable

Two minutes can be a lifetime. But break the two minute rule and it's a lifetime in jail. Ask anyone on the wrong side of the law about the two minute rule and they'll tell you that's as long as you can hope for at a robbery before the cops show up.But not everyone plays by the rules. When an ageing ex-con finally gets out of jail, freedom doesn't taste too sweet. His son is gunned down in a drive-by shooting.

It is fire season and the hills of Los Angeles are burning. As the Police and Fire Departments evacuate the inhabitants, they find something no one expected: the days-old corpse of a middle-aged recluse who apparently committed suicide. Then comes an even more horrible discovery. Clutched in his lap is a photo album containing photographs of seven young women who have been murdered. Each photograph was taken only moments after the women were killed and could only have been taken by the killer.
