Summary

Sometimes death is not the end.... 

Charley has a strange feeling when she sees the idyllic mill house with its cluster of outbuildings, the lake and the swirling mill stream - a powerful sense of recognition, as if she has been there before. Except she knows she hasn't. 

After Charley and her husband, Tom, move into Elmwood Mill, sinister memories of a previous existence start to haunt her. Despite both their attempts to dismiss everything with rational explanations, the feeling turns to certainty as the memories become increasingly vivid and terrifying. 

Charley is persuaded to undergo hypnosis - but in searching deep into her past, she unwittingly opens a Pandora's box of evil...and now the terror is free.

disappointing

I like Peter James books but not this one. It’s not a book for me. I found the constant flashbacks confusing. I kept loosing the thread of the story and having to rewind.
I had high hope but left feeling very disappointing.

unexpected twist and couldn't put it down

really enjoyed the story. it took a little while to warm up bit it was totally worth it and at times I couldn't stop listening. At times it was a bit graphic (blood wise) which I'm not good at but had some unexpected twists. I enjoyed this story as it explored different avenues and wasn't about 'seeing' something straight away. would recommend!

I struggled with this a little bit not really sure why. there were certain aspects that I really did not like but would be a spoiler to say what. I am really glad it is finished

Peter James just a great writer. Loved this

This was a story that, although in places a bit obvious, it is a great listen.
I enjoyed it al the way through and found myself listening to it for a nearly a whole night.

I'll buy the book instead.

Had to get a refund on this because I couldn't tolerate the narrator's habit of portraying male voices by 'going a bit croaky'.

Not sure

I'm a Peter James fan so downloaded this book as soon as it became available. It is very well written as you would expect, but I'm not sure it's my sort of genre. The narrator made it very difficult for me to enjoy the book as her male voices are a terrible growling rasp, and she has an annoying way of over pronouncing words.
