About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

The stunning new psychological suspense from the Sunday Times bestselling author of HOW TO DISAPPEAR

What would you do to protect your family?

ANYTHING.


During a family holiday in Italy, you get an urgent call from your sister.

There's been an accident: she hit a man with her car and he's dead.

She's overcome with terror - fearing years in a foreign jail away from her child.

She asks for your help. It wasn't her fault, not really. She'd cover for you, so will you do the same for her?

But when the police come calling, the lies start. And you each begin to doubt your trust in one another.

What really happened that night?

Who is lying to who?

Who will be the first to crack?

Critic reviews

Beautifully written and incredibly gripping, THAT NIGHT asks us a terrifying question: would you bury a body to protect your family? There is a breathless, almost claustrophobic tension to the story - it gave me genuine shivers. Gillian writes human emotion with immense skill, and the dynamic between the three siblings in this book is just masterfully done. I can't wait to see what Gillian writes next (Beth O'Leary)
Vividly written, furiously tense, impossible to put down. I zoomed through it, desperate to know what happens (B P Walter, author of The Dinner Guest)
Incredibly tense and gripping
That Night was like watching a gripping, tense and claustrophobic box set! My heart was in my mouth the whole time. Her best yet (Claire Douglas)
Included in 'Top Ten Bestselling Books for Summer 2021'
From its propulsive opening to its devastating finale, That Night explores the terrible cost of family loyalty and the lines all of us might cross for those we love. Her best yet (TM Logan, author of The Holiday and Trust Me)
So slippery, you will struggle to catch your breath. With That Night, Gillian McAllister has secured her throne as the queen of the moral dilemma (Holly Seddon)
A cracking what-would-you-do thriller
Gillian McAllister just gets better and better. I loved this tautly plotted and beautifully written look at siblings and secrets (Clare Mackintosh)
That Night is exactly the type of book to be read poolside, cocktail in hand, in roughly two or three sittings

If you're going to use the word aubergine several times in a chapter, at least ensure your narrator can pronounce it! It was very jarring.
This aside, the story was great and as a honorary Brummie, it was nice to hear my home city included in the narrative.
Worth a listen.

Pronunciation needs work but story was on point

Brilliant! Real page turner. Enjoyed it immensely and didn’t guess the ending like most of these stories.

Really gripping

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Narration was excellent but the story too far fetched for me. What a thoroughly unpleasant character Frannie is - I doubt anyone would want to cover anything up for her! Can’t recommend

A bit unlikely

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Gripping! Loved the story and the narration which worked so well with the way events continuously unfold. Absolutely superb!

Five stars all round
