About this listen
Soon to be a Netflix series
Instant International Best Seller
“A nuanced story line perfectly in tune with our #metoo times.” (People, Book of the Week)
“One of the season’s most buzzed-about thrillers.” (Bookish)
“A strong choice for book clubs. Former political correspondent Vaughan makes an impressive debut with this savvy, propulsive courtroom drama.” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review)
“Vaughan offers gripping insight into a political scandal’s hidden machinations and the tension between justice and privilege…. Absorbing, polished.” (Booklist, starred review)
“Skillfully interweaving the story of the unfolding scandal, Vaughan gradually reveals just how shockingly high the stakes are…. Sinewy…engrossing, twist-filled.” (Publishers Weekly, starred review)
Some people’s secrets are darker than others.
Sophie Whitehouse has a lovely home, two adorable children, and a handsome, successful husband. In other words, she has the “perfect” life. But everything changes the night her husband, James, comes home and confesses an indiscretion. Suddenly, her neat, ordered world is turned upside down. Did she ever really know the man she married?
And, as it turns out, James’s revelation is just the tip of the iceberg. He stands accused of a terrible crime. But, the truth is even more shocking than anyone ever could have thought. Is James the guilty perpetrator or an innocent victim of a toxic agenda?
In this riveting story of love, revenge, and deception, no one’s motives are pure, but some people’s secrets are much darker than others.

Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing as an average woman. But it’s the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans; the lonely, brilliant, Nobel–prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with—of all things—her mind. True chemistry results.

Of course, I’m not going to murder her in the night. I need my laptop back first. That’s the whole point of making friends with Emily Harper, author of the hugely successful novel Diary of an Octopus. So I could get into her apartment and take back what’s mine. Emily doesn’t know who I really am. She thinks I’m her biggest fan, her new best friend who happens to need a place to stay for a few days. She doesn’t realize the laptop she found—and took—from a busy airport almost two years ago was mine. I don’t care about the laptop, just what's on it: my diary.

Try to put it down!
This book is perfect for today’s climate. It brings up compelling questions of what it means when a woman says no, and how can a man be sure. Even more pointedly, it shows the fall out when hubris makes a man think that a woman saying no actually means yes.
This book has beautiful pros, and of story that is beautifully woven, and hard to put down.
I would recommend this book to fans of John Grisham, Scott Turow, he and Hillary Mantell.

A timely tale of privilege and entitlement.
Replace Harvey Weinstein's lot with English politicos, and you have a well-told tale. I couldn't stop listening. The narrators made it all very real.

Loved it
This is the kind of legal thrillers I love. This was written from perspectives of different characters and told in an engaging way that I could not put it down.
I just looked for the author's other releases but could not find any thrillers. I will be looking for her books in the future. The narrators were all great.

Mystery without murder
Probably my favorite fiction genre is mystery, in paricular, murder. When I started listening to this, I assumed there was going to be a murder. NOT!
By the time I figured out that this was the case, I was too involved with the story and had to see where this was going. I am so glad that I continued listening.
I consider myself a pretty savvy reader when it comes to mystery, etc., but I could not begin to guess how this was going to end. Every time I thought that I had it figured out, there was another twist.
I would highly recommend this audiobook. The story is excellent and the narration is outstanding. The four different voices meshed well together to keep the story going. I can't say enough good things about this experience. Enjoy!

Very satisfying
Having just read "The Verdict," I was ready to be disappointed by another British courtroom drama. Not so. Well done. Well read. Not as unexpected as The Verdict, but still recommend.

Thrilling from Start to End
A great listen - the story is excellent and well read. However, 4 stars for performance after one reader mispronounced ‘chutzpah’ in an early chapter.
