A tragic family event reveals devastating news that rips apart Bella's comfortable existence. Embarking on a personal journey to uncover the truth, she faces a series of traumatic discoveries that take her to the ruggedly beautiful Cornish coast, where hidden truths, past betrayals and a 25-year-old mystery threaten not just her identity but her life.

Chilling, complex and profoundly moving, In Her Wake is a gripping psychological thriller that questions the nature of family - and reminds us that sometimes the most shocking crimes are committed closest to home.

Where does In Her Wake rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Amongst the best.

What about Kate Rawson’s performance did you like?

Her narration was excellent.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I rarely have strong emotional reactions to a book, but this story at various times made me feel sad, shocked and happy.

Any additional comments?

This story is original and very well written. In particular, the dialogue is beautifully composed (many, otherwise good books, fall down on the quality of the dialogue). The characters, many of whom are quite disturbed, are richly drawn. Themes of loss, grief, psychological control, domestic abuse, including child physical abuse and despair are explored here. However, the author writes with a light touch, such that despite these themes, the story meanders gently throughout and makes it an easy read/listen. I really didn't want to put this one down.

An absolute Gem!

The story begins with the death of Bella's Mother, going home for the funeral with her controlling husband, to be greeted by a distant father. Then she finds her father dead too and from that point everything starts to unravel, while at the same time build slowly towards a complex resolution. Loved it, loved the reading, loved being surprised time and time again by the twists and turns of the plot. This was really all about motherly love and loss, but don't be fooled into thinking that this is all you are going to get. Compulsive reading.
