About this listen

Her sister's mysterious disappearance will lead her to a deadly secret . . .

Caroline Verlaine knows something is wrong. Her sister has gone missing, and no one can tell her why. The only option is to go where Roma was last seen—an estate with a deadly history.

The Stacy family has lived off the Dover coast for generations, carefully navigating the treacherous quick sands nearby. But the sands aren't Caroline's biggest threat. Everyone here has a secret, especially the enigmatic young heir Napier Stacy. No matter where Caroline turns, the ground she walks is dangerous. And the closer Caroline comes to unraveling the truth, the closer she comes to sharing her sister's fate.

I first read this book as a girl more than 50 years ago and loved it but as an adult I found the spoken story meandering and the narration intensely irritating. Sorry to say that but i couldn't listen to another audiobook involving the same narrator.

Repetative Story

Read this story as a teenager, as an adult it is a bit of a nostalgia trip and Holt's story telling is noticeably more clunky than I remembered. However, the narration is truly awful, strange emphasis in odd places, dull and in the end unlistenable. Gave up by Chapter 4.

Horrendous narration
