About this audiobook
—Mary Kubica, New York Times bestselling author of Just The Nicest Couple
Everybody lies. Even the ones you think you know best of all . . .
Olivia Bender designs exquisite home interiors that satisfy the most demanding clients. But her own deepest desire can’t be fulfilled by marble counters or the perfect rug. She desperately wants to be a mother. Fertility treatments and IVF keep failing. And just when she feels she’s at her lowest point, the police deliver shocking news to Olivia and her husband, Park.
DNA results show that the prime suspect in a murder investigation is Park’s son. Olivia is relieved, knowing this is a mistake. Despite their desire, the Benders don’t have any children. Then comes the confession. Many years ago, Park donated sperm to a clinic. He has no idea how many times it was sold—or how many children he has sired.
As the murder investigation goes deeper, more terrible truths come to light. With every revelation, Olivia must face the unthinkable. The man she married has fathered a killer. But can she hold that against him when she keeps such dark secrets of her own?
This twisting, emotionally layered thriller explores the lies we tell to keep a marriage together--or break each other apart . . .

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5What an amazing book, an amazing story full of twists and turns! Thank you for sharing it.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Boring, slow, predictable. I can’t believe I was able to finish it.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Very good, great twists, love the surprises. This book keeps you guessing.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5AMAZING! Best book of 2023 so far. I'm definitely not a huge fan of thrillers but I love this one and will absolutely read more from the author. It was very hard to stop reading and I didn't get bored not even once.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Wow. Just wow. Such a great book all around. Does not disappoint.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It kept me intrigued, although figured it way too soon.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This was just okay, nothing spectacular. I found most of the characters to be rather shallow and not very likable. Sadly the only interesting character was the "killer" and it would have been better if the reader could have learned what caused the killer to be so messed up. Overall the book held my interest but I am not sure it's really worth investing your time reading or listening. The subject of infertility was not the interesting part (to me, nor a trigger). I am quite happy with only having furry children. Also, I would not call this book a thriller, it was more of a domestic mystery and story about family.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The overall story was compelling. However, there were a lot of characters included that were later discarded. A lot of plot lines that led nowhere. The end of the book became a mess. Core characters became an afterthought
