About this listen

A haunting mystery thriller about intergenerational trauma, dark secrets and a desperate search for truth – even if it could destroy everything you thought you knew. An essential read for fans of Stephen King’s supernatural mysteries and the haunting ghost stories of Susan Hill, performed by a full cast led by Daisy Ridley (Star Wars).

Three decades after the mysterious death of her mother, Zoe Crowley returns to Loch Dorcha, the remote village in the Scottish Highlands where her father was born. There, on the shores of the dark, fog-veiled loch, she hopes to finally find answers. But the icy water holds more than memories. A ghostly young boy emerges from the black depths, dripping and pale, beckoning her to follow. Unsure whether her mind is playing tricks or if the place is truly haunted, Zoe descends into her parents’ past. What begins as a search for the truth unleashes a chain of deadly events. No sooner has Zoe arrived than a series of inexplicable murders occurs. With every layer of the past she uncovers, the villagers’ hostility grows, their suspicion turning towards Zoe herself. As the boundaries between reality and delusion blur, a dark family secret is revealed. Did her mother die for threatening to uncover that same horror? Zoe can’t shake the feeling that the ghostly boy visiting her on cold, stormy nights holds the key to the mystery.

Beautifully delivered story, which is thoroughly enjoyable and interesting enough to hold your attention from start to finish

Differently intriguing

I enjoyed the story overall but found the ending a little disappointing. I enjoyed the narration but thought more interplay with the different voices would have given the recording more depth. It was enjoyable and had some great elements with some lovely characters

Strong start well narrated

Strong narration that holds together a story that falls apart toward the end. The mood switch from spooky to oversized buahaha is jarring, and so is the inclusion of other narrators (who are nonetheless great) so far into the story. Enjoyable enough for me to finish though!

Entertaining but uneven
