Synopsis

From bestselling British author Christobel Kent comes another thrilling audiobook with a twisted, riveting conclusion. What We Did is a nightmarish, impossible-to-pause tale of the secrets we keep from our families, of chilling childhood abuse, and of long-awaited retribution.

He stole her childhood . . . she’ll take his future

Something happened, she didn’t know what, something spun, the world turning, back, back, too fast. She would be sick. Bridget put out a hand to steady herself against the wall.

Bridget has a secret—one she keeps from everyone, even her husband. One that threatens to explode when her childhood music teacher, Carmichael, walks into her dress shop. With him is a young girl on the cusp of adulthood, fresh-faced and pretty. She reminds Bridget of herself at that age, naïve and vulnerable.

Bridget wants him away—away from her, away from that girl. But Carmichael won’t leave her alone, won’t stop stalking her. And Bridget’s not a little girl anymore. When he pushes her too far, she snaps. But what she thought was a decisive act only unravels more insidious threats—more than she could have ever imagined—and from which no one is safe, not even her family.

Goodreads review by Carla on December 13, 2018

I was provided a copy by NetGalley, but this opinion is solely my own. I was intrigued by this book, but ultimately it didn't satisfy me. I think it went on far too long, and the writing lacked that something that just grabs you. Trigger warning for child abuse.......more
