Publisher's summary

From the best-selling author of Only Daughter comes a twisty cat-and-mouse novella about a young woman who meets up with her ex seeking revenge, only to realize over the course of the evening that she may be the one in danger.

Scholarship law student Margot’s fling with her classmate Sam almost cost her everything. Now, she’s going out to dinner with him to a luxurious French restaurant with a plan to even the score. But Sam arrives late and is acting increasingly strangely. His hands are shaking, he’s nervous and jumpy; he’s behaving nothing like the privileged charmer she knows. As the night unfolds, Margot realizes Sam has a terrifying plan of his own.

Now available in Dolby Atmos on Audible.

I need more information!

It took a bit to get into. I’m not a fan of the real sound effects. The ending is bad just leaves a person hanging.

Quick listen

Was a good performance. Perfect listen to kill a small timeframe while driving in car. Lots of visual descriptions that were well written.

Nail biter!

Great short story & excellent performance by all! I wish it would have lasted a little longer and added a bit more to the story, but it was still very good. And from someone who always guesses the ending…this one had me stumped for the biggest part of the story!

Short, Surprising, entertaining

Overall it’s a short listen but super well done. Wasn’t over the top and kept me guessing, the readers performance was very well done and the suspense is top notch! If your looking for short and entertaining filled with suspense I recommend giving this short story a listen.

good performance, predictable story

It was a nice short story, but predictable. The performances were good. One tip, use headphones as there's a lot of echo. Just playing it through the phone speaker isn't ideal, but using headphones makes it better
