About this audiobook
1908, Long Island: For Millie Turner, the young and beautiful wife of a powerful New York stockbroker, Rose Briar Hall—a gleaming edifice of white marble on the North Shore—is more than a home. Every lavish detail speaks of Charles Turner’s status and wealth, and its stylish interior is testament to Millie's sophistication. All that’s left is to prove her worthiness to be his bride. What better way than to throw a grand party for New York’s social elite?
After painstaking planning, the night of the event arrives and all is perfection—until Millie wakes to a cold, eerily quiet house, and a gray cloud where her memory should be. Can it be true that she has been in and out of consciousness for weeks, ever since the party took a terrifying turn? Millie recalls nothing. But her friends have shunned her, and it soon becomes clear that if she can't find out what really happened that night, much more than her reputation will be at risk . . .
As the house that promised so much happiness begins to feel more like a prison, Millie wonders whether a woman alone, even a wealthy one, can ever be entirely safe. And if she succeeds in finding the truth, will it bring relief, or shake her marriage, and her life, to the core?

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Married to a powerful stockbroker, young socialite Millie throws a lavish party at their grand Long Island estate. But after a terrifying incident, Millie wakes up with no memory of the evening. As she tries to piece together what happened, she discovers that her friends have abandoned her and her reputation is in ruins. Trapped in a house that once promised happiness, Millie must uncover the truth before her marriage and her life are irrevocably shattered.
This tense and fast-paced thriller kept me guessing until the end. Millie is a strong and determined heroine who never gives up fighting, no matter how many catastrophes and reversals she suffers. I enjoyed the audiobook narration.
Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.
