A chilling new novel from the Costa First Novel Award shortlisted author of An Unremarkable Body

THE ISLAND IS ABANDONED. BUT SHE IS NOT ALONE . . .

Off the windswept coast of Scotland lies Finish Island, rugged and remote. Once a home, it now stands abandoned, a place of dark history and deep memory, a place that holds its stories close. Unable to write since her daughter's death, it's here that Seren comes to work, hoping that the solitude and silence will inspire her next novel.

But the island holds memories of its own, restless and unwilling to stay buried. As unsettling occurrences become even more bizarre and frightening, Seren starts seeing uncanny resonances between her past and the island's history. There is something on this island, something ancient and unforgiving. Will Seren discover its secrets, before it's too late?

The narration was superbly done, but for me the beauty of this story is the way the author gently pulls you in to a reality and holds you there whilst it unfolds into something much deeper.
Ghost story is a work of art, I cannot recommend it highly enough

Fully engrossed from start to “Finish”

I thoroughly enjoyed this. The storyline was beautifully layered. It was unnerving and unsettling and this was not caused by the supernatural elements alone 👻
The setting was a huge character! With the Island having its own personality and complex history. Its isolation leads to unease, and the need to find out more and find out the connections and answers you desperately need. You go on this journey alongside the writer of the journal in the book. Understanding her needs, fears and experiences closely. There are many layers of meaning and a depth of feeling. It also has a fantastic thriller element. Which is shocking!! 😳
The narration was very good. Her accents were strong, only a few minor slips and these by no means took away from the performance and story.
Highly recommend 😊

A fantastic but bleak ghost story. I couldn’t stop listening. It was beautifully narrated as well.

Thrilling
