When they moved their family to the scenic coastal cliffs near Melbourne, Australia, Pippa and Gabe had no idea that the picturesque locale was actually a well-known site for deaths by suicide. Gabe is skilled at talking people off the ledge, but one night a woman falls to her death despite his efforts. The story Gabe tells the police, however, doesn’t match what Pippa saw, and when she realizes that the woman was someone they know, she begins to question everything. Parallel posthumous insights from the dead woman reveal even more doubt and deception. Hepworth (The Younger Wife) crafts a compelling domestic thriller about infidelity and betrayal. Dual narratives, multiple timelines, and cliffhanger chapter endings build a tense and troubling atmosphere. Narrators Barrie Kreinik and Jessica Douglas-Henry enhance the air of anxiety by weaving an engaging web of emotion. Their Australian accents aid in the immersive nature of the narrative and their fast-paced delivery will keep listeners on the edge of their seats.
VERDICT Will appeal to listeners seeking scintillating suspense about loyalty, love, and lies. Recommended for fans of Nicola Moriarty, Jillian Medoff, and Joy Fielding.
