About this listen

Laura and Owen buy a secluded cottage on the edge of the Peak District. Old mines riddle the hills surrounding their new home and soon after moving in, Laura starts to hear faint snatches of birdsong. Her husband, wrapped up in his new job, is rarely around.

Nervous and alone, Laura fears she's developing tinnitus. Her doctor can find nothing wrong. Then an archaeological dig on a neighbouring hill unearths some disturbing finds...and Laura's life starts to become terrifying.

Listened as I’d enjoyed another book by same author but very disappointing … just boring and drawn out 🤷🏼‍♀️

Uninspiring

Would you listen to Sing Me to Sleep again? Why?

Well it's 5·45am and I have been unable to sleep. This book is utterly captivating so captivating I've been listening to it all night!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Sing Me to Sleep?

I loved all of it, a true "horror story"

What does Becky Hindley bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

The narration brought the story to life, and varied in accents and tones to add authenticity.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I did listen to this book all evening and throughout the night.

Any additional comments?

A rose amongst thorns- one of the best books I've read in years!

Superb!!!!

What made the experience of listening to Sing Me to Sleep the most enjoyable?

I loved the story as I really enjoy stories about people moving to a creepy old house. It was really well-written, quite measured in its pace but beautifully atmospheric. I loved it.

Who was your favorite character and why?

There were not many characters in the book but I liked the main character, Laura. She came across as a sympathetic character and you cared what happened to her.

Have you listened to any of Becky Hindley’s other performances? How does this one compare?

no. I found it slightly too rushed but that is a minor criticism as overall I enjoyed the performance.

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

dont want to add spoilers so I will just say the moment something disastrous happens to a younger person.

Any additional comments?

Loved it. Would like more from this author.

Creepy ghost story for snowy winter nights

Not really engrossing and certainly not tense/suspenseful. I did worry about the kitten a lot. Otherwise lots of familiar stuff. Not one of my favourites.

Nothing new to see here

I enjoyed this, between credits as it was free, it was a good story and well read. Got a little tedious towards the end however. I listen to a lot of free audio books (well I try to and usually switch them off within minutes). This had a nice cosy, ghost story vibe. Give it a try!

Quite a good tale!
