About this listen

How far would you go to protect your family?

Danny and Libby are about to face every parent's worst nightmare.

When eight-year-old Hope Bird disappears without a trace from the idyllic village where she lives, life for her family will never be the same again. Her parents know she would never have gone off alone and the police have no idea where she is. Then a child's shoe is discovered and the case takes an unexpected turn. Soon a suspect is identified but this is only the beginning.

Will they ever find Hope?

Frailty is a haunting, gritty, psychological story about the choices we make.

I haven't read anything by this author before, but the reviews were good ( yes people, honest reviews do matter and do influence 'risk' taking with a new author- so be fair). I was captivated from the start by Hopes pure voice and riveted from there to the end. Ally Murphy narrated superbly, so realistic and accurate in tone and expression. I could go on but it really would spoil it for future readers if I say too much about the plot. I'm a mother and this capture parental feelings so perfectly. Wow. I rarely say that these days about my reads- I'm moved and now I'm going to hug my boy just a bit harder tonight.

What made the experience of listening to Frailty the most enjoyable?

The narration, and pace of the story was extremely well written/read. It kept me captivated and I could sense the dread and fear of what Libby and Dan were going through.

What about Ally Murphy’s performance did you like?

Her voice, and the change over of characters were extremely smooth. To pull off talking as a child, worked and was beautifully haunting.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Yes, but I don't want to give spoilers, but Hope's Chapters were well written, without being sensationalised.

Any additional comments?

Frailty is an emotive read, that captures family life when a child goes missing and how devastating it is.

I found this book just interesting enough to see it through, but that's as far as it goes for me. I didn't like the parts written as the child, as she seemed to use very adult words and phrases, even though it's was supposed to be from an 8yr olds point of view.

An OK story

Once I started listening to Frailty on audible I couldn't stop..needed to get to the end. An absolutely enthralling story that had me close to tears at points. The chapters with Hope, the little girl who has been abducted in, are heartbreaking.

This book was amazing then listening to it was heart thudding. Even though I knew what was coming I couldn't not be pulled in.
The story of this little girl being taken & her parents side of it all will pull at heart & gut strings. But! It's worth listening to, it will stop you in your tracks, it did to me. I have some audio books as background but thankfully a few I need to really listen to, this was 1 of those. In my top 3 of audio books.
Heart thudding thriller that will torment you but so worth it!
