About this listen

"Take my hand, little one."

Fran finds her standing by the swings. A little girl, Esther, no older than seven years old, by herself in the dead of night, her pretty but old-fashioned yellow dress covered in grass stains and her hair dishevelled. She says she's waiting for Father, and that strikes Fran as particularly odd.

After Esther is reunited with her family, Fran can't stop thinking about this pious child whose imaginary friend is God. Fran's instincts tell her something is very wrong. Why does Esther keep running away from home, and how did she get that bruise on her leg?

Fran's husband warns her not to get too close, but one morning, Esther and her family disappear. Where did they go? Why did they leave their furniture behind?

Fran knows in her gut that something terrible is going to happen to that child, and she can't stand by while it happens. No matter the cost.

After all, she found her. But can she save her?

The principal characters didn’t stir emotion in me one or the other apart from the one who’s left out at the end - avoiding spoilers.
Slow and a bit whiny with 1 extra star for the final twist which was entirely unexpected.
All in all I could have lived perfectly well without ever finding this book

Not very interesting at all

At first I thought it was quite twee and gentle and not much to hold my interest but it soon picked up pace and I couldn't stop listening. Really enjoyed this book. The narration was excellent.

Wow!

I love Sarah Denzil's writing and in this book she does what she does best. This is a quick, very enjoyable little mystery which took me in all sorts of unexpected directions, and I couldn't stop listening. I quite liked the protagonist, Fran, even though she was slightly too nosy. The tension really ramps up as the book progresses and there's a twist I definitely didn't see coming near the dramatic conclusion! Yes it's a bit far-fetched, but it's pure excapism and I really enjoyed it :-)

I enjoyed the narration by Claire Storey.
