Summary
Ex-fashion model and successful business woman Laura Ayars' perfect world is shattered at a time which should have been the happiest of her life.
On her honeymoon, her sports superstar husband goes for a swim - and never returns. But what has happened to David - can he really be dead? Whilst struggling to cope with her almost overwhelming grief, Laura is plagued by questions and doubts. Was it an accident? Or suicide? Or is it some terrible, ill-judged hoax?
As events begin to unfold, Laura starts to question David's mysterious disappearance. She begins to uncover a conspiracy which reaches deep into the past, and is now slowly beginning to destroy everyone involved.
Someone will do anything to keep Laura away from the awful truth - and she has no idea who she can trust....

Narrator is painful
Not one of Harlan’s best but made, at times, painful to listen to by the narrator. Her attempt at an Ozzie accent was laughable as was her drunken character. I made it to the end but the ending was predictable. Waste of a credit.

Seriously poor narration
A gripping story with multiple twists but the seriously poor narration detracts from the writing. Why portray the female characters with such whining voices? The accents were dreadful: the Australian voices were particularly spectacularly dire.

I enjoyed it, kept me guessing
I agree the Australian accent wasn’t the best but I was entertained. Good who done it

Worst narration ever.
The narrator was awful. Accents ridiculous. Not the best HC book out there and the constant rambling about the various characters bodies & beauty hasn’t aged well.

Really not his best!
Love his books but this was the weakest storyline & very disappointing … the extreme to which the character goes too to change is ridiculous .

Don't waste your money!
Dated and predictable, not one of his best. The narrator is dire and mangles every accent she attempts.

Nearly gave up with the narrator
The narration is way OTT but then the story is a bit gushy at times too. The “strong women” are anything but, and are more whiney and annoying that assertive and business minded. But I listened to it all, so it can’t have been that bad!

Appalling accents!
Not a bad story but really tacky pseudo-sex scenes to start and the worst Aussie accents over!

Not such a good story
I think this may have been a much older book? It was rather overdone with the beautiful women's bodies to be honest. II felt the story was abit far fetched. I found the narrator hard to listen too, with some strange accents. Nearly gave up twice.
