Narrator Laura Kirman performs this contemporary mystery with aplomb. Listeners join Helen, who on the face of it has the perfect life, with a wonderful husband and the perfect Victorian home in a posh part of London. However, things begin to unravel with devastating consequences when she strikes up a friendship with Rachel, a lively and unpredictable person who is very different from what Helen is used to. Kirman skillfully brings Helen and Rachel to life as enjoyably unlikable characters; both male and female secondary characters are portrayed with equal strength. Kirman's spot-on timing helps the tension build during the many plot twists, keeping listeners on the edge of their seats throughout.
