About this listen
Penguin presents the audiobook edition of The Taking of Annie Thorne by C. J. Tudor, read by Richard Armitage.
Then . . .
One night, Annie went missing. Disappeared from her own bed. There were searches, appeals. Everyone thought the worst. And then, miraculously, after forty-eight hours, she came back. Though she couldn't, or wouldn't, say what had happened to her.
But something happened to my sister. I can't explain what.
I just know that when she came back, she wasn't the same.
She wasn't my Annie.
I didn't want to admit, even to myself, that sometimes I was scared to death of my own little sister.
Now . . .
The email arrived in my inbox nearly two months ago.
I almost deleted it straight away - but I clicked Open:
I know what happened to your sister. It's happening again . . .
I loved the main character, Joe. His character is very authentic and the narrator, Richard Armitage, brought him to life perfectly.
The story is great. It is original and unpredictable from start to finish.
I listen to audiobooks everyday while doing my jobs. But this audiobook stopped me from getting my jobs done. I would just stare into space while the story engulfed me. This happens often with this narrator. It always feels like he's in the room, reading the book to me.
This is the first book I've read from this author and I'll definitely be purchasing The Chalk Man next. I hope there are many more to come.

I had already read The Chalk Man, and while I enjoyed it I didn’t think it was worthy of all the hype. I thought this was a much better book. Once again it is clear that Ms Tudor is influenced by Stephen King, and quite soon into the book I was thinking of Pet Sematary, but that didn’t detract from my enjoyment.
I was hooked right from the start. The book has such a dark, creepy supernatural feel to it and there are several familiar horror themes like the creepy one-eyed doll, Abbie-Eyes, and the scuttling beetles. The horror is mostly implied, rather than actually told, which makes it all the more scary.
I’m not sure I liked any of the characters, but they were interesting. Joe is an anti-hero, a mediocre teacher, a rubbish gambler and not particularly nice. Gloria the hitwoman was brilliant and intriguing and could have had a book of her own!
This is a bit of a slow burner, but I loved it and look forward to Ms Tudor’s next offering.
