About this listen

A new devastating psychological thriller from the author of the best-selling The Good Mother.

Angela was just a baby when she was abandoned, and a children's home is no place to grow up. When manager Ray takes girls off to his 'den' in the garden, they always come back crying....

So, when wealthy couple James and Rosemary come to choose a child to adopt, Angela is desperate to escape. Years later, Angela starts to search for her birth mother, Evelyn, hoping to heal the scars of her childhood. But strange and sinister events start to unfold. And Evelyn fears she may not survive her daughter's return.

But I found that the first 75% of story was a bit too long and drawn out ...then everything happens in last few chapters. The story also goes back in time, then to present time, and I couldn't always work out who the character was (maybe I wasn't paying attention).

Narration was excellent
