Summary
A killer on the loose. A writer on the run. A town plagued by an ancient evil.
On tour with his latest book, true crime writer Martin Savage discovers one of his most-dangerous subjects has escaped. The so-called "Witch Hunter", a delusional murderer of women and their unborn children, holds a deadly grudge. He'll stop at nothing to get his revenge, and destroy everything Martin cares about.
With nowhere to run, Martin and forensic psychologist Sheila Tanner flee to the town he left when he was a boy, after his mother was locked away in a psychiatric facility. A town hidden deep in his past, where no one would think to look for them.
But things are not what they seem in Barrows Bay. The idyllic island holds terrible secrets. An ancient evil lived here long before the first Irish settlers crashed upon its shores in a coffin ship. An evil wearing the innocent faces of elderly midwives who've delivered every child in the Bay for 250 years.
Martin and Sheila think they’re safe in his childhood home. But Martin’s mother has plans for them. Plans that require sacrifice.
And sacrifice requires blood.

One of his best
Ralston's writing style is both atmospheric and immersive, drawing readers into the eerie setting of the small town. His descriptions are vivid and evocative, painting a chilling picture that heightens the sense of foreboding throughout the story. The pacing is perfectly balanced, steadily building suspense while keeping readers guessing until the very end.
"The Midwife's as one of his best and highly recommended

brilliantly read
I really enjoyed this audio book, it makes a change to find a narrator 2ho actually has different voices for different characters instead of being monotone.
