About this listen

A tense, emotionally charged thriller from a brilliant new voice.

It is the week before Christmas, and the cathedral city of St Albans is blanketed by snow. But beneath the festive lights, darkness is stirring. The frozen body of a young girl is discovered by the ice-covered lake.

The police scramble for clues. A local woman, Jenny, has had visions of what happened the night of the murder. But Jenny is an exhausted new mother whose midnight wanderings pull her ever closer to the lake. Then another girl goes missing, and the community unravels. Neighbour turns against neighbour, and Jenny has no idea who to believe. As Christmas Eve approaches, Jenny discovers a secret about her past - and why she could be key to everything....

Thus book was beautifully written and read.It caught the intricacy of relationships well and the characters were alive.
I'm not usually a fan of paranormal stuff but this was subtle and well crafted.
read it.

Beautiful

An ok story that could have shorter if some of descriptions of Jenny’s continuous overwrought emotional state were removed. I felt irritated by her not helped by the narrator’s, at times, screeching delivery. When Jenny’s predicament warranted heightened emotion there had been so much before the impact of the final denouement was lost.

Ok but too much overwrought emotion

Good story overall, kept me guessing. I liked the character development so I will probably listen to the next book in the series. The narration was good apart from a few dodgy accents.

Enjoyable

Great story

Excellently read, but the story is, basically boring! I listened to it in its entirety but didn’t know who the actual killer was in the end!!!!

Under the radar!!

In fact never made it to the end. Badly written, characters are all over the place. Kept on waiting for it to get back to the story. Never did. One of the characters is supposed to be part South African, but is given a very annoying West Indian accent by the reader. Very rare for me to not finish a book, but just couldn't go on. Don't waste a credit on this.

Not Very Good

Absolutely loved this book, set in my home town which I have since moved away from but could absolutely picture the lake scenes, perfect detail!
