“Bloody good.” —The New York Times

“Timely, surprising, emotionally alive, this is about as good as suspense fiction gets.” —Washington Post

No one knew they were together. Now one of them is dead.

56 DAYS AGO

Ciara and Oliver meet in a Dublin supermarket queue, just as COVID-19 begins creeping across Ireland. A spark. A chance. A distraction—from everything they’re trying to outrun.

35 DAYS AGO

With lockdown looming, Oliver suggests they move in together. For Ciara, it feels like a rare opportunity to let a relationship bloom in total privacy. For Oliver, it’s the perfect way to keep his past—and his true nature—hidden.

TODAY

Detectives force their way into Oliver’s apartment and find a body decomposing inside.

As they untangle a relationship built on secrets and half-truths, they face the ultimate question: Did lockdown give birth to love—or the perfect murder?

great book as always

this is my favorite author on audible and my very favorite narrator. the story is good maybe not her best but I definitely did not see the twist coming!!!

Disjointed

The story started out interesting, even with the word-for-word repetition of segments with added observations from the 2 main characters’ points of view. Adding the journalist, Laura/Lauren?, did not end up augmenting the story. Of the 2 twists at the end, only 1 was supported by what came before. The investigators were interesting but in the end, superfluous.

Riveting!

I couldn’t wait to hear what would come next. This is my second book by this author and I’ve found both engrossing stories with unexpected endings.

Engaging and Kept Me Guessing

Believable characters and slow reveals added to a revolving timeline all support a riveting tale.

Great book. A voice change would be nice.

The story was great, however, the audio would benefit from two (or more) narrators ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
