In this twisty new stand-alone novel from internationally bestselling author Nicci French, a young woman agrees to do a favor for her first love—but when things go horribly wrong, one small task turns into a murder investigation that completely upends her life, ensnaring her in a deadly web of secrets and lies.
It’s a simple enough favor.
Jude hasn’t seen Liam in years, but when he shows up at her work asking for a favor, she finds she can’t refuse. All Jude has to do is pick Liam up at a country train station—without telling anyone. So what if she has to lie to her fiancé? Jude is still committed to him and their imminent wedding, even if she and Liam were in love once.
She owes him.
After the car crash that changed everything years ago, bright, ambitious Jude went to medical school, back on the path she had planned before meeting moody, artistic Liam. Meanwhile, he never fully recovered from the dark stain the accident left on his record.
Now he’s gone.
When the police show up at the station instead of Liam, Jude realizes that she knows nothing about the man he’s become. Now she’s tangled up in his life, the last person to have seen him, and maybe the only one who can uncover the truth about what went wrong—even if she destroys her own life in the process.

Niet nieuw. Al lang verschenen in het NL als audioboek in april 2022 ‘De gunst’. Helaas dus geen nieuw boek/van N&F.

Het verhaal kwam mij ook al zo bekend voor 😇. Wel een heel goed boek!!

I listened it out but it is not one of Nicci French’s best books. I didn’t like the voice interpretation of some of the characters but at a 1,5 speed it was doable.

Goed geschreven en voorgelezen, wel wat langdradig. De keuzes van de hoofdpersoon zijn soms heel frustrerend en er is voor mijn smaak iets te veel innerlijke dialoog. Ook vind ik het karakter van de politieagent Leyla op alle fronten ongeloofwaardig.

Wat een tegenvaller. Hoofdpersoon ongeloofwaardig. Erg langdradig. Raar voorgelezen, weet niet wat ik daar van vind. Hun slechtste boek dat ik ben tegengekomen.

Dat boek was er al lang en had niet geschreven hoeven worden.
