Critic reviews

"Relentlessly fast paced, a compelling plot and anxiety inducing finale. A cracking read." (John Marrs, best-selling author of The One)

"This is creepy storytelling of the highest order: spine-chilling and difficult to put down." (Daily Mail)

"Opens with a nightmare scenario and races to a gripping, horribly tense ending - I think I actually stopped breathing several times. Loved it!" (Jackie Kabler, author of The Perfect Couple)

Really enjoyed

I really enjoyed this book. Got a bit lost in places but that’s usually my fault as my concentration isn’t always great, so I had to listen to some chapters a few times. The story kept you guessing which I like. Some of it was horrid to listen to, as in the plot, but sometimes I found my self laughing out loud a few sentences later. Pleased with this purchase and would recommend.

Enjoyable listen with lots of drama near end

Really enjoyable after you’ve got into it. It’s a bit slow at first which is a contrast to the narrator who reads too fast. Her accents were varied but some were not quite right and I found some of pronunciation gabbled.
Great thriller though!
