Book Description:
If you can't trust yourself, who can you trust?

Cass is having a hard time since the night she saw the car in the woods, on the winding rural road, in the middle of a downpour, with the woman sitting insideâthe woman who was killed. She's been trying to put the crime out of her mind; what could she have done, really? It's a dangerous road to be on in the middle of a storm. Her husband would be furious if he knew she'd broken her promise not to take that shortcut home. And she probably would only have been hurt herself if she'd stopped.

But since then, she's been forgetting every little thing: where she left the car, if she took her pills, the alarm code, why she ordered a pram when she doesn't have a baby.

The only thing she can't forget is that woman, the woman she might have saved, and the terrible nagging guilt.

Or the silent calls she's receiving, or the feeling that someone's watching herâ¦

My Review:
This book drew me in from the very beginning. It was a fast-paced and intriguing story which held my attention throughout the whole book. The narrator did an excellent job and made the story interesting to listen to. There were some really good twists in the story but I found the ending was a bit predictable. All in all, I enjoyed the book very much and look forward to the next book from this author. I would highly recommend this novel to those who love psychological thrillers.
