About this listen

Some games can kill you. Snatched from her home during a game of hide and seek. Left behind in her place is a doll crudely twisted from stalks of corn.

Psychotherapist Annie O’Malley thought she’d left the police force forever. The trouble is, she thinks she knows the identity of the killer, and she’s the only one who can hunt him down before it’s too late. O’Malley is drawn back to a world she thought she’d escaped, to a case where every turn reminds her of her childhood and her missing sister. When she’s partnered with DI Joe Swift, a man with more ghosts than people in his past, O’Malley has to make the hardest decision of her life. Save a stranger. Or save herself.

Great story. Twisty and gripping. Really liked the narrator's voice.
Highly recommend this one. Am off to see if there are any more in the series now.

Gripping

This is a solid start to a new series by an author I haven't previously read. The main character, Annie O'Malley is a psychotherapist and former police officer who is asked to help DI Swift solve the case of young girls who have been abducted, and a corn dolly is left in their place.

This is a short book, but packs so much in. It is fast paced with an interesting plot involving a cult, and I liked the characters. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series.

I enjoyed the narration by Paul Draper.

I loved Annie O’Malley and DI Joe Swift they’re a very likeable pair.
A very enjoyable story, some mis direction and red herrings which keeps you guessing what exactly is going on.
This is a series I intend to continue with.

Narrator has a very pleasant voice that pulls you into the story.

I’m hooked

Plot weak & totally unbelievable. Characters wooden. Narrator sounded like he was just reading the book. As the book went on I cringed more & more. Struggled to finish it.

Terrible narrator, terrible book!

I rarely leave bad reviews but this is a pretty awful reading of a fairly forgettable book. Just glad it was only 7 hours long.

An unforgettable story? Er, no.
