About this listen
One of Sarah’s daughters died. But can she be sure which one? *THE SUNDAY TIMES NUMBER ONE BESTSELLING NOVEL*
A terrifying psychological thriller perfect for fans of THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN.
A year after one of their identical twin daughters, Lydia, dies in an accident, Angus and Sarah Moorcraft move to the tiny Scottish island Angus inherited from his grandmother, hoping to put together the pieces of their shattered lives.
But when their surviving daughter, Kirstie, claims they have mistaken her identity – that she, in fact, is Lydia – their world comes crashing down once again.
As winter encroaches, Angus is forced to travel away from the island for work, Sarah is feeling isolated, and Kirstie (or is it Lydia?) is growing more disturbed. When a violent storm leaves Sarah and her daughter stranded, Sarah finds herself tortured by the past – what really happened on that fateful day one of her daughters died?

spooky, atmospheric and addictive

The narrator - penny rawlins - is good on the whole, but I wish she wouldn't shriek when she is doing the child's voice. This is an audiobook so will be listened to on earphones or in the car maybe, and her voice was so shrill in parts, it became ear splitting!
Just ok

Where does The Ice Twins rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
The storyline was good and very intense and different. Several shocking moments and I liked how I didn't know what was true and what wasn't.What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
The main narrator was semi ok but the second narrator was terrible and I didn't understand why they would use two female narrators to play the same people because they sounded different when reading the same character. Very weird. Terrible Scottish accents and one of them made the child sound totally different to the other.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
I don't want to spoil it but I wouldn't say it is a moving book, more thrilling.Any additional comments?
The narration really did spoil this book. I think if I had read it it would have been a lot better. I would steer clear of these narrators again if I noticed them on a book for Audible. Still I couldn't stop listening and that was the story that kept me gripped.Story great, narration terrible

Storyline twists which is great.
The two different female narrators are off putting, especially the one doing the male voices. It would have been better with two male and two female actors I think.
Great story but various female voices off putting

Would you listen to The Ice Twins again? Why?
No, I wouldn't listen again, simply because of the character Sarah. She really annoyed me!What did you like best about this story?
I like the intrigue. There were several twists that were not obviously coming and I like that - it kept me on my toes.What three words best describe the narrators’s performance?
There were 3 narrators. Penny Rawlins, Sandra Duncan & Angus King.WHY Angus King was bought in to narrate the final chapter is beyond me... It had been done by Sandra Duncan perfectly well for the previous 11 and a half hours! I didn't get that.
Penny Rawlins child voice was a little "squealy" and could be a little annoying at times, but overall the narration was fine.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The child/children.... no spoilers, but she/they are just down right creepy!!Any additional comments?
Not a bad book overall. I would happily read other books by this author.Sarah, the mother, started to annoy me about 9 hours in. Her "shall I, shant I" thing was totally frustrating and added some padding to the book that didn't really need to be there. i did find that there was extra padding that lead nowhere, like the child psychologist line. She could have easily just googled it, as she does later - otherwise, it was good.
Not a bad story...
