About this listen

In this thrilling gothic suspense debut by Sara Foster in the tradition of Rosamund Lupton and Sophie Hannah, a young mother searches Yorkshire’s windswept moors for the truth behind her husband’s mysterious disappearance.

The answers are hiding Beneath the Shadows

When Grace’s husband, Adam, inherits an isolated North Yorkshire cottage, they leave the bustle of London behind to try a new life. A week later, Adam vanishes without a trace, leaving their baby daughter, Millie, in her stroller on the doorstep. The following year, Grace returns to the tiny village on the untamed heath. Everyone - the police, her parents, even her best friend and younger sister - is convinced that Adam left her. But Grace, unable to let go of her memories of their love and life together, cannot accept this explanation. She is desperate for answers, but the slumbering, deeply superstitious hamlet is unwilling to give up its secrets.

As Grace hunts through forgotten corners of the cottage searching for clues and digs deeper into the lives of the locals, strange dreams begin to haunt her. Are the villagers hiding something, or is she becoming increasingly paranoid? Only as snowfall threatens to cut her and Millie off from the rest of the world does Grace make a terrible discovery. She has been looking in the wrong place for answers all along, and she and her daughter will be in terrible danger if she cannot get them away in time.

I downloaded this for free, and I can honestly say that this is one of the best books I’ve listened to on audible so far. I listened to it in 2 days between working. The plot was good, I enjoyed the characters and the setting. The narrator kept my interest throughout. This is the first book I have read/listened to by this author and will definitely be exploring more titles. If you like books with a ghostly setting and gets you thinking, then this is for you!

Excellent book!

this was not a bad book but please tell me what it is with some authors using the same word over and over again and a far more widely used word in the English language than the one repeatly used in the narration of this book. the upper class English accent does not help it can come across as if you are being spoken down to but quite a good listen

acquiescence

I almost gave up on this a few times because the narrator’s voices, particularly the male characters, really grated on me. They all sound either stupid, evil or constipated, or all three. The accents of all the characters were painful. The narrator’s voice throughout is monotonous and slow. I did stick with it though because the story itself is interesting and I engaged with the main character. I’m glad I heard it through but will avoid this narrator in future. Others may like her voice and style but it doesn’t work for me.

Good story, very soporific narrator

Well read - tho not gripping after the start it plodded along ; didn’t give any confidence in a police investigation - glad true love prevailed

Interesting
