About this listen
On the eve of the global lockdown, Don Barlow opens the door of his old beachside cottage to find a pretty girl with pink-tipped hair, claiming to have nowhere to go.
He allows her entry, and so begins a mystery set in unprecedented times: with the virus raging outside their home, the girl cannot be asked to leave, but what does he risk by having her stay?

Loved it !
If something grips me from the get-go I know I’m in trouble ie I’ll listen to the neglect of all else!
The characters in this are so believable. The narrator gives perfect pitch to each and every one of them. It actually sounded like there were 4 or 5 people narrating this!
Storyline is brilliant I fell in love with Don …. and found myself rooting for Morgan .. rightly or wrongly.
The daughter had appropriate jealousy and I felt her emotions..,, plus the confusion of whether or not that same jealousy was causing her to be paranoid. All in all highly recommend

cracking listen
As with all Caroline Overington's books, this was a wonderful read. set during the first Covid lockdown the story is about family, heartache and elderly loneliness. The narrator is perfect too.

For fans of Liane Moriaty
Great little story. Very much in the same vein as Liane Moriaty. Wonderful characters that you actually care about and set in a crazy, hazy time we can all relate to.

Caught my attention and did not disappoint!
Narrator very easy to listen to and managed different characters' voices clearly. I loved the intrigue, and knew there was more to the story than first appeared. Satisfying ending. A great short listen.

Something about the author
There is something about the way this author writes! It was the second book I listened to, and both have something really lovely about the way they are written. Nothing Earth shattering, sometimes a little predictable, but the description of the main characters is always beautiful. Because if was written about covid lockdown, the book felt fresh despite not being particularly original in its themes.
