Critic reviews

"Kate Hamer conjures mystery with such grace, cool beauty and urgent suspense.... Brilliant." (Matt Haig)
"Kate Hamer's novel is both gripping and sensitive - beautifully written, it is a compulsive, aching story full of loss and redemption." (Lisa Ballantyne)

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

I am afraid I gave up on it.

Would you ever listen to anything by Kate Hamer again?

Don't know, not because she does not write well, but because I am not into the paranormal.

What aspect of Antonia Beamish’s performance might you have changed?

It started off very well, but then turned into the land of fantasy. Not my cup of tea.

Could you see The Girl in the Red Coat being made into a movie or a TV series? Who would the stars be?

Yes.

Excellent story for listening in the car on a long journey. The author captures so well the language, comprehension and world view of a child. The narrator very cleverly adopts a different tones for the two protagonists. Congratulations all.
