About this listen

Tis the season for secrets and suspicion.

A chilling psychological thriller with a twist that you won't see coming, narrated by Billie Piper and Avita Jay. This Audible Original, by #1 bestselling author Kathryn Croft, is perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Sarah A Denzil and K L Slater.

When Sasha receives a call from her old university friend Gabby inviting her to spend Christmas at Gabby’s remote Scottish lake house, Sasha knows she shouldn’t go.

Twelve years ago, on Christmas Eve, when Sasha and her five closest friends were celebrating the festive season, something truly horrific happened that would change the course of their friendship forever. Something that meant Sasha hasn’t spoken to any of them since that night.

But Gabby is insistent that they all get together this Christmas, to finally help her move on from the events of that night, so Sasha agrees to go.

Arriving at the sprawling house overlooking a stunning loch, Sasha quickly realises that Gabby has other reasons for getting the six friends together this Christmas. And now Sasha is forced to relive a past she’s tried hard to forget.

People had always told them their friendship wasn’t healthy. That the six of them spent far too much time together. No good would come of it, they said. How could relationships with others work when the six of them were so tightly interwoven?

When a snowstorm isolates them from the outside world, old flames are rekindled and tensions run high, and it soon becomes obvious: nothing that big can stay secret forever.

Decent storyline. Worth a listen.

Nicely written and generally well performed. Small criticism of pronunciation - why is it so difficult for English people to pronounce "loch"? The Ch is pronounced as in Bach. Nobody ever talks about Backs music, if it were a word in any other language it would have been spoken properly.

Gripping story, tough listen at the end.

Excellent performance, the emotion can truly be felt in what must have been at a times a harrowing endeavour.

Although I enjoyed this story I would have perhaps not listened if I’d known going in about the subject matter towards the end.

Perhaps consider a content warning.
