Summary

Brodmaw Bay seems to be the perfect refuge for James Greer and his family. When his young son is the victim of a brutal mugging, Greer wants to leave London - the sooner the better - for the charming old-fashioned fishing port he has just discovered. But was finding Brodmaw Bay more than a happy accident? What is the connection between the village and his beautiful wife?

When his friendly new neighbours say they'd welcome some new blood - in a village where the same families seem to have lived for generations - are they telling the whole truth? Perhaps the village isn't so much welcoming them as luring them. To something ancient and evil. As it has lured others before...

I have been a massive fan of Gottam since reading his masterpiece, 'The Waiting Room'. I honestly didn't think I could find another book that could compare and grip me in the way waiting room did. However, this book was absolutely brilliant, I listened to it everywhere. Although I kind of guessed the story and plot from the start, I was engrossed. In particular the description of the Harbingers left me feeling uneasy 😅 brilliant!!

What An Amazing read!

What did you like best about Brodmaw Bay? What did you like least?

Loved the characters of the family. Thought the story was really well crafted. Totally spoilt by the ending.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

This was what spoiled it for me. Clearly if that happened the police would have done some investigating! Totally spoilt the book for me but expected it as have listened to other FC Cottam books but won't listen to anymore.

What does David Rintoul bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

Fantastic expression, characters voice. Brilliant.

Such a fantastic book spoiled by a poor ending.

I loved this chilling tale of a family who move to the Cornish coast for a simpler life, but all is not as it seems in the picturesque village of Broadmaw Bay! If you like the film, The Wicker Man, then you will like this too! David Rintoul does an excellent job of the narration (as he does on all of his audio books) and I really enjoyed it!

Chilling and excellently narrated

After reading "The Wating Room", one of the creepiest tales I have ever listened to, I was quite eager to read more by this author. I t was an enjoyable read, but the first part of the book was full of Hammer House cliches. I felt that the characters in Brodmaw Bay and the plot were not as intricately drawn as I had expected, so I was a little disappointed. However, this was an interesting distraction, just not creepy enough for me.

A little cliched
