About this listen

In the long, hot summer of 1976 Adam, Rufus, Shiva, Vivien and Zosie are camping at Wyvis Hall. They don’t ask why they are there or how they are to live; they simply scavenge, steal and sell the family heirlooms.

Ten years later, the bodies of a woman and child are discovered in the Hall’s animal cemetery. But which woman? And whose child?

I enjoyed the story, very clever and different but there were not enough pauses in the correct places. Not sure if it was narrator or editor who messed it up. Flicking backwards and forwards in time needs a breath in between at very least.

Edited badly?

Great story fantastically written & read. Horrible people being horrible.

Editing is unfortunate. Not even the slightest pause when jumping between timelines. If you're confused, rewind and get your bearings again!

Very hard to follow

With a really satisfying twist at the end. It’s a very dark story with no sympathetic characters but if you are in the right frame of mind for that I can highly recommend this audiobook.

Absolutely gripping

Great tale, evoking the long hot summer of 1976 and the vibe of indolent young people living together in an idyllic Suffolk country house. The unravelling of the mystery in the pets’ cemetery was well done but the switching of timelines rather confusing - poorly handled by the narrator.
Surprise ending that was quite satisfying.

Good story but poor narration

I thoroughly enjoyed it. I had to listen to several chapters at a time to find out what would happen next.
