Summary
When Rachel marries dark, handsome David, everything seems to fall into place. Swept from single life in London to the beautiful Carnhallow House in Cornwall, she gains wealth, love and a stepson, Jamie. But then Jamie makes a chilling prediction, and Rachel's perfect life begins to unravel.
Haunted by the spectre of David's late wife - Jamie's real mother - Rachel finds herself drawn to the deserted mines where she plunged to her death three years prior. As Rachel starts digging into the past, she begins to grow suspicious of her husband. Why is he so reluctant to discuss Jamie's behaviour? And what exactly happened to cause his ex-wife's untimely suicide?
With December looming, Rachel begins to fear there might be truth in Jamie's words: 'you will die at Christmas'.

Brilliant Excellent story keeps you listening
Loved this story, this is the second book I have read by this author, the first being the Ice Twins.

Corniche mystery with great twist
This download is more about great narration than anything else. Imogen Church is spellbinding as a woman on the edge of madness. This is top class acting and goes way beyond the story itself. Well worth a credit!

The FirexChild
This book was well narrated. I loved the descriptions of Cornwall. It gripped me from the beginning to end I could not put the book down. I would recommend it as a book to read in the winter on a cold winters night

good
This book started off slowly, but I am glad I persevered. Imogen Church is a great narrator (one of my favourites). I would recommend a listen.

the female narrator Imogen Church makes the book
Any additional comments?
The story is about Rachel and her life as a married woman and what she endures in a big secluded house and with her husband commuting to London every week. A step-son and a dead ex-wife are also in the centre of the story. I think this is a book for female listener.
The book could have been ordinary, neither good nor bad, but Imogen Church makes it worth a credit. She takes us through the book with an absolutely amazing performance and turns the book into something to remember. It is slow pace in the beginning; almost soothing and calming, but builds up to a rollercoaster of emotions, especially in the second part.
The five star performance is based on her narration only, since the male narrator is a disaster in comparison. Luckily, he is quiet most of the time.
