A devoted wife, a loving husband and a chilling murder that no one saw coming.

Things that make me scared: When Charlie cries. Hospitals and lakes. When Ian drinks vodka in the basement. ISIS. When Ian gets angry… That something is really, really wrong with me.

Maddie and Ian’s love story began with a chance encounter at a party overseas; he was serving in the British army and she was a travel writer visiting her best friend, Jo. Now almost two decades later, married with a beautiful son, Charlie, they are living the perfect suburban life in Middle America. But when a camping accident leaves Maddie badly scarred, she begins attending writing therapy, where she gradually reveals her fears about Ian’s PTSD; her concerns for the safety of their young son; and the couple’s tangled and tumultuous past with Jo.

From the Balkans to England, Iraq to Manhattan, and finally to an ordinary family home in Kansas, sixteen years of love and fear, adventure and suspicion culminate in The Day of the Killing, when a frantic 911 call summons the police to the scene of a shocking crime.

Don't miss Annie Ward's explosive new novel, The Lying Club, a story of revenge, murder and shocking secrets! Domestic Thrillers Thriller & Suspense Psychological Crime Thrillers Thriller Crime Scary Military Fiction Marriage Genre Fiction

I read a lot of good reviews for this book so I really wanted to like it but I just couldn’t get into it. My biggest issue is with the dialogue/narration. Some parts were extremely whiny and childish - more like high school girls than grown women. Also the twist was predictable. I’d recommend this book to those who are just starting to read books of this genre.

Such a great read for both true crime buffs (hopefully you’ll understand what I mean if you read this book) and lovers of the dark & twisty!

Loved this book!

This is a small complaint but it just showed up at the end of the book so it's fresh in my mind. Why are we told Charlie is 10 but he still talks like a 3 year old?
That aside, the book is pretty good despite a bit of whiny dialog from the lead character and some pretty awful romance scenes. Twist at the end makes up for the bad parts.

Nice Twist But....

This was a great psychological thriller. The twists and turns were great.This book kept me on my toes and invested in the story and plot lying the entire time.

Amazing Listen!!!

I’m an avid audible user. Multiple books a week. Most left unfinished because let’s face it, it’s next to impossible to beat your last good book. This book from start to finish is absolutely impressive. The narration .. especially the narration, but the storyline !!! I can only hope her other books, hopefully she has others, are as good as this was for me. Enjoy the ride!!

Wow!!
