About this audiobook
Hannah never dreamed she'd have a best friend like Ellen Brecht. Ellen is everything Hannah wants to be - beautiful, daring, glamorous and poweful. Growing up together in windswept Cornwall, life seems perfect. But their idyllic childhood is shattered by obsession, betrayal and, ultimately, a terrible tragedy.
Hannah has tried for twenty years to forget what happened during that life-changing summer. Then, one unremarkable morning at work, she glimpses a woman who looks just like Ellen. Can it really be her? And if so, has Ellen returned to forgive her - or to punish her?
Bestselling author Louise Douglas tells a heart-pounding and unforgettable tale of secrets and lies. Perfect for fans of Barbara O’Neal, Lucinda Riley and Rachel Hore.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I couldn’t finish it. There was so much description of things that totally didn’t matter. Is this just filler for a book? So unnecessary. I didn’t realize who I was reading and then looked at the author and remembered another of her stories I couldn’t get into because there was just way too much gibberish that wasn’t needed at all.
I gave two stars for the narrator, she was pretty good.
