Summary
An Amazon Charts bestseller.
A missing child. A desperate mother. And a house full of secrets.
Two years ago, Julia lost her family in a tragic accident. Her husband drowned trying to save their daughter, Lily, in the river near their rural home. But the little girl’s body was never found—and Julia believes Lily is somehow still alive.
Alone and broke, Julia opens her house as a writers’ retreat. One of the first guests is Lucas, a horror novelist, who becomes obsessed with finding out what happened to Lily. But within days of his arrival, the peace of the retreat is shattered by a series of eerie events.
When Lucas’s investigation leads him and Julia into the woods, they discover a dark secret—a secret that someone will do anything to protect...
What really happened that day by the river? Why was Lily never found? And who, or what, is haunting the retreat?
From the bestselling author of Follow You Home and The Magpies comes his most terrifying novel yet.

Gripping from beginning to end
I'm not usually a fan of this genre, and never heard of the author. As an impulse buy, I decided to give it a go, and I'm not disappointed.
The story is well written, and perfectly read. It will have you trying to play detective throughout.
I was so engrossed by it, that I missed my train stop whilst listening. Highly recommended

Excellent!!
I must admit there were times I was home alone late at night and got spooked enough to turn this audio book off! I'm not exaggerating!
Kept me guessing and intrigued till the very last moment.
This is my first book from this author and after "The Retreat " I will certainly read/ listen to more of Edwards' books.
I think this story will stick with me for a while because I enjoyed it so much.
Well worth the read!

Gripping Throughout!
My first dabble in an audiobook of this genre and I was nor disappointed. The performance of Simon Mattacks was sensational!
Plenty neat twists and turns I did not see coming but, for me, also a little predictability so hence the 4 stars for story.
At £1.99 on the daily deal, fantastic value!

Enjoyable but occasionally gets a bit silly
I enjoyed the book w.lot.but occasionally it verged on silly and a little bit far fetched or cliché. Worth a read though, absorbing and keeps you guessing until the end.
