Critic reviews

"Britain's female Stephen King." (Daily Mail)

"Her books have the ability to simultaneously make you unable to stop reading while wishing you could bury the book somewhere deep underground where it can't be found. Compelling and haunting." (Sunday Express)

"Some writers have it, and some don't. C. J. Tudor has it big time." (Lee Child)
All stars

CJ Tudor does not disappoint - I usually don’t do “ dystopian “ but all the suspense and twists and turns of CJ style here
The narration is brilliant - especially Richard Armitage - bringing the story to life and building up the suspense
Slowly the links between the three narratives emerge - and I worked it out just before
The title of the book is extremely clever ( once you’ve listened you will know what I mean ! )
Just loved it

Brilliant narration and a suspense story

I very nearly gave up about three chapters in. There are a lot of characters in each of the stories in this book and I would normally struggle to keep track of them all. But I am so glad I carried on.

First off the narrators are good. Each one was the same pace and no stupid voices when doing female or males voices.

The amazing way the author has weaved all the people together in this book until the end was just genius.

It is fast paced the entire time and the story had me engaged so much I listened to this book in one day.
I have waited for a new book by this author for so long and it didn’t disappoint. My definite five star read.

A genius book.

An excellent story with great performances from the narrators. The only downside is I have to wait for the next one to come out!

CJ Tudor just gets better!

This was absolutely THRILLING! I felt like I was part of the story, the twists were brilliant .
Fabulous narration too.
The 3 groups of people had me on the edge of my seat wondering what would happen next.
This would make an excellent movie.
Survival, snow and secrets. Loved it!

What a ride!

I was quite confused at first but when I got into the book I was hooked. Three stories with multiple characters which you do wonder where it is going but bear with it as it all comes together. It is dark, complex and very different to the author's other novel's.

A really clever but very different C J Tudor book.
