About this listen

Amy has only ever known what life is like in the Clearing with her brothers and sisters - until a newcomer, a younger girl, joins the 'family' and offers a glimpse of the outside world.

Freya is living an isolated life with her son and their dog, going to great lengths to go about her day as a 'normal person'. When news breaks of a missing girl - a child the same age as Freya's son, Billy - Amy and Freya's stories intertwine, and the secrets of the past will crawl inexorably into the present.

As secrets of the past bubble up to the surface, this small town's dark secrets will be exposed and lives will be destroyed.

Wasnt what I was expecting but enjoyed the progress through the story.
Dont want to give any spoilers but definitely worth a read.

A good read

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Excellent story, plenty of twists, turns & surprising revelations gathering pace towards the end!! Will there be a follow book for 'the watcher' from the epilogue? an excellently tangled Web....Worth a listen!

made me think!

Wasn’t sure at first, but give it a couple of hours and the twists start! Worth a listen definitely.

Builds to a great story

A totally absurd story, with some glaring mistakes that inexplicably made through the final version. Preposterous

Bleah!
