About this listen

You know who.
You don't know why.

The play date started well. The children happy in one room while their mothers relaxed and drank wine in another.

But then the stranger appeared at the window. And then he was inside the house. And then he grabbed the knife...

Alice only means to stop him. She doesn't mean to hit him so hard. She didn't mean to kill him.

The police conclude that she acted in self-defence, but wracked with guilt, Alice sets out to apologise to Linda, the mother of the young man she killed - only to find she is unable to come clean about who she really is. But as Alice learns more about Ezra and why he was at her house, she starts to wonder whether she really has the full picture about what happened that day...

This latest simmering suspense novel from the internationally bestselling Katherine Faulkner is a thriller that will have you hooked from the first twist to the last.

Critic reviews

'Katherine Faulkner is the master of throwing ordinary women into extraordinary, what-would-you-do situations. With her razor-sharp takes on middle class motherhood, this is an up-all-night thriller packed with style, acuity and intrigue' (Abigail Dean, author of Sunday Times bestselling Girl A)

'Twisty and compulsively readable. A binge-worthy page turner. I devoured it in a sitting and I have zero regrets' (Nita Prose)

'Katherine Faulkner goes from strength to strength with her third novel, The Break In - a truly unnerving tale of violence and deceit. I totally believed in these characters and felt every second of their nightmare. Propulsive and immersive - a definite one-sitting read!' (Caz Frear)

'With an exquisite, perfectly-timed drip-feed of reveals, hiding-in-plain-sight clues, delicious unravelling of secrets, and nail-biting tension, The Break In is an absolute triumph. One of the best books I’ve read this year' (Andrea Mara, Sunday Times Number One, Irish Times bestseller)

'The Break In opens with a reader's worst nightmare scenario, and continues to twist the knife as the truth is gradually revealed. A tense and clever thriller - highly recommended' (Nikki Smith, bestselling author of The Beach Party and All In Her Head)
