Summary

 If you refuse to believe me, I will no longer consider you my son...

Daniel believed that his parents were enjoying a peaceful retirement on a remote farm in Sweden, the country of his mother's birth. But with a single phone call, everything changes.

Your mother... she's not well, his father tells him. She's been imagining things - terrible, terrible things.In fact, she has been committed to a mental hospital.

Before Daniel can board a plane to Sweden, his mother calls: Everything that man has told you is a lie. I'm not mad... I need the police... Meet me at Heathrow.

Daniel is immediately caught between his parents - whom to believe, whom to trust? He becomes his mother's unwilling judge and jury. Presented with a horrific crime, a conspiracy that implicates his own father, Daniel must examine the evidence and decide for himself: who is telling the truth? And he has secrets of his own that for too long he has kept hidden... Suspense Thriller & Suspense Fiction Exciting Scary Mystery

I'm only half-way through and I'm totally gripped by this novel! It's suspenseful and intelligent, and if it continues like this it will be one of my favourite audiobooks. The performances are brilliant too. Got to get back to it!

Gripping and unusual...

Subtle, atmospheric and thoughtful. Good story and well performed. It was a relief to find something that worked around some difficult topics without feeling exploitative. It was delivered in gradual bites. Yeah, he did a good job.

Really good

A mystery with a difference. Also wonderful images of Sweden. I would recommend this audio, beautifully narrated, a good purchase.

Intriguing read

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I would recommend this book as I think it was a brave decision by the author to write a book so different from his other books as they were so good.

Would you be willing to try another book from Tom Rob Smith? Why or why not?

I have already read his other books and thought they were fantastic. I was waiting anxiously for this book to be published.

Would you be willing to try another one of James Langton and Suzanne Toren ’s performances?

I would avoid listening to James Langton in the future as unfortunately I do not think
he is a very good narrator. With regard to Suzanne Toren I think the choice for her to narrate as
a Swedish mother was wrong as she doesn't even sound Swedish. Italso doesn't help that she narrates in a different book and as a Jewish grandmother she is fantastic. She was the best thing about the book.

If this book were a film would you go see it?

Possibly

Okay story but terrible mistake with narrators
