About this listen

Tis the season for secrets and suspicion.

A chilling psychological thriller with a twist that you won't see coming, narrated by Billie Piper and Avita Jay. This Audible Original, by #1 bestselling author Kathryn Croft, is perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Sarah A Denzil and K L Slater.

When Sasha receives a call from her old university friend Gabby inviting her to spend Christmas at Gabby’s remote Scottish lake house, Sasha knows she shouldn’t go.

Twelve years ago, on Christmas Eve, when Sasha and her five closest friends were celebrating the festive season, something truly horrific happened that would change the course of their friendship forever. Something that meant Sasha hasn’t spoken to any of them since that night.

But Gabby is insistent that they all get together this Christmas, to finally help her move on from the events of that night, so Sasha agrees to go.

Arriving at the sprawling house overlooking a stunning loch, Sasha quickly realises that Gabby has other reasons for getting the six friends together this Christmas. And now Sasha is forced to relive a past she’s tried hard to forget.

People had always told them their friendship wasn’t healthy. That the six of them spent far too much time together. No good would come of it, they said. How could relationships with others work when the six of them were so tightly interwoven?

When a snowstorm isolates them from the outside world, old flames are rekindled and tensions run high, and it soon becomes obvious: nothing that big can stay secret forever.

I enjoyed the narration but the story was a bit extreme and far fetched. I did listen to the end to find out who did it!

A bit far fetched

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Liked: I was intrigued enough to keep listening and find out what had happened and there were many possible suspects.
Disliked: unnecessary repetition in a number of places and although the final scene was enlightening and tense, the very last lines of the story felt disappointingly inadequate.

We’ll narrated mystery

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Story was addictive and Billie Piper is once again amazing. Perfect listening for Christmas presents wrapping.

Billie is outstanding

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Firstly narration really good. Without giving the plot away what started as a promising mystery sort of lost its way and became a bit too incredulous but overall not a bad listen

Good but far fetched
