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....

I usually really enjoy this authors books but this was far too far fetched and the female characters were portrayed as weak and pathetic which annoyed me

Not as good as others

I agree the Australian accent wasn’t the best but I was entertained. Good who done it

I enjoyed it, kept me guessing

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.

Narrator is painful

Great story totally ruined by poor, inexperienced narration. Terrible pronunciation, shocking attempts at accents. This narrator does this book no justice. The author has been totally letdown by this.
Very sorry I paid for this book!

Appaling narration!

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

Appalling accents!
