About this audiobook
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Nanny and What She Knew comes the terrifying story of what can happen after all your dreams come true
Be careful what you wish for...
Childhood sweethearts Nicole and Tom are a normal, loving couple—until a massive lottery win changes their lives overnight.
Soon they’ve moved into a custom-built state-of-the-art Glass Barn on the stunning grounds of Lancaut Manor in Gloucestershire. They have fancy cars, expensive hobbies, and an exclusive lifestyle they never could have imagined.
But this dream world quickly turns into a nightmare when Tom is found dead in the swimming pool. Was Tom’s death a tragic accident, or was it something worse?
Nicole is devastated. Tom was her rock. And their beautiful barn —with all its smart features that never seem to work for her—is beginning to feel very lonely. But she’s not entirely by herself out there in the country. There’s a nice young couple who live in the Manor itself along with their middle-aged housekeeper who has the Coach House. And an old friend of Tom’s from school has turned up to help her get through her grief.
But big money can bring big problems and big threats. And is Nicole's life in danger as well?
Nicole’s beginning to feel like a little fish in a big glass bowl.
Surrounded by piranhas.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Good pace and narration. Not a terrible story line but didn't love a couple of the turns it took at the end. But overall a good listen!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/53-3.5 stars.. rounded down due to the explosion of nonsense in the last quarter. 3/4 of the book was quite engaging and nearly plausible with some interesting twists and turns. Solid group of narrators brought the whole cast alive and kept everyone differentiated. There was an overwhelming number of surprise ‘twists’ that came up towards the end that detracted from the story and took away from all of the careful build up… abt 50% less would’ve made the book far more enjoyable vs making me question if I ever want to read anything else by this author.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Not the ending I was expecting at all. Good book.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Pretty good overall. Moved at a good pace and plot was creative. Overall an enjoyable listen.
