About this ebook

My husband has been keeping secrets for a long time. He thinks I don’t know what he does outside of this house. But I know everything…


Karla watches silently as Jason hurriedly packs his belongings into a suitcase. She knows that her stillness is unnerving him as she watches his every move from the doorway of their bedroom.


Clothes are screwed up and packed into the case, along with a watch she bought him for his last birthday and his precious laptop. He takes everything from his bedside table. Everything except the framed wedding photo, which now stands alone. Karla strains to see the smiling faces in the photo. If only she knew then what she knows now.


‘I’ve fallen in love with someone else,’ he’d said to her, just moments earlier. The brutality of those words hit Karla hard and she struggled to breathe as she took in each word in turn.


You may think you know what Karla will do next. But you’ll be wrong. Because Karla isn't who you think she is. Only she knows what's about to happen. And you will never see it coming.


An absolutely gripping psychological thriller for readers who loved The Girl on the Train, Gone Girl and The Other Woman. With twists you’ll never see coming, you will not be able to put this one down!

My Review: Wow, what a twisted book this was!!!! I have read several books by this author and she has never disappointed me including this book. What you think you know about a marriage in trouble is not what it seems at all. There is a wild, unbelievable story behind it all. The whole family has secrets and oh boy are they major. They are not the little white lies that can be kept hidden. These secrets needed to come out desperately and when they finally did there were explosive fireworks all around. You never know what might happen when a secret is exposed and how someone will handle it. This author did a great job with the ending and wrapped it up nice and tight in a bow for all of us readers to love. I was very satisfied on how it all ended. Sheryl Browne really outdid herself on this one and I can’t wait to read her next book. In conclusion, the plot, the characters and all the twists in this book made this book an enjoyable read. I would definitely recommend it and happily give it 4 Hearts❤️❤️❤️❤️

I usually love this author but not this book. It wasn't a thriller but a boring family drama full of unlikeable and unbelievable characters. There was no suspense and the story bordered on the ridiculous in my opinion. I actually skipped pages it was so bad. I have given it 2 stars and not one only because Sheryl is usually a great storyteller, alas not this time.

Ok book, but too much of the same inner dialogue going on in each chapter. Karla's especially was getting tedious. Definitely have read better by this author
