About this listen

A brooding and suspenseful thriller that will appeal to fans of Rachel Abbott, Mark Edwards and Shalini Boland.

Faye and her husband, Hugh, have had a traumatic year. Wanting to start again, the couple decides to buy a large run-down property in North Yorkshire, hoping to leave the past behind them.

However, the tranquillity is soon ruined when Faye begins to awake, every night, to the sound of somebody creeping around the bedroom. She tries to explain it to Hugh, frightened for the safety of their children, Aiden and Poppy, but Hugh dismisses her claims, thinking she is heading for another breakdown.

But when Faye discovers some diaries that contain secrets about the family that lived in the house before them, she starts to wonder if the intruder might be closer to home than she first thought.

This story was OK and the author went out of their way to use a wide variety of adjectives and generally wrote well. Unfortunately the narrator misread or mispronounced her way through the book, defeated even by common words, which detracts from following the book somewhat and often seems to read too the end of a line rather than the end of a sentence.

Narrator dreadful

This was my first experience of this author. I try to be fair with my reviews but there is no escaping that this was a long tedious listen.The story is told entirely in the first person by the main character Faye whose intense and exagerrated reactions and emotions to everything throughout the entire book made me think of a neurotic drama queen. I found myself not caring about the characters or the outcome. For me the plot is very weak and the reveal at the end is equally as weak and uninspiring. The writng style is OK although there is unnecessary use of the f word and the author fails to create any suspense. The narrator had a tough job bringing this story to life but I also found the narration monotonous and lacking in any real emotion. The narrator also made occasional pronounciation errors throughout the book which is surprising for a professional narrator. I cannot recommend this book at all and wished I had given up and returned it to Audible for a refund.

The story was OK. Good for a mindless listen when doing household chores. The narrator’s voice was nice to listen to, but SO many words badly pronounced. Waiting for the next wrong mispronounced word took away from the story.

worth a listen despite the dreadful pronunciation of several everyday words, rather annoying really but a good story nevertheless

off-putting prinunciation

This book sounded so good and was very disappointing. The narration has to be the worst I’ve ever heard with little intonation, mis-pronunciation of words. Wouldn’t recommend, glad I didn’t pay for it.

Disappointing and horrendous narration

jarringly bad performance with such odd pronunciations in places it almost feels like ai.
story was fine!

very odd pronunciation of basic words

The narration made this difficult to listen too. Monotone, bland and no excitement. The story could have been made so much more exciting with a decent narration. I managed to listen to the end. It was ok. Glad to have finished.

Mundane but managed to finish it!

Sadly not this one, dreadful pronunciation, couldn't finish, shame as Iike this author 🤷

Dreadful narration

The narrators inability to pronounce so many words distracts from the story which seems to be quite good.

Awful pronunciation.
