About this listen

One of Sarah’s daughters died. But can she be sure which one? *THE SUNDAY TIMES NUMBER ONE BESTSELLING NOVEL*

A terrifying psychological thriller perfect for fans of THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN.

A year after one of their identical twin daughters, Lydia, dies in an accident, Angus and Sarah Moorcraft move to the tiny Scottish island Angus inherited from his grandmother, hoping to put together the pieces of their shattered lives.

But when their surviving daughter, Kirstie, claims they have mistaken her identity – that she, in fact, is Lydia – their world comes crashing down once again.

As winter encroaches, Angus is forced to travel away from the island for work, Sarah is feeling isolated, and Kirstie (or is it Lydia?) is growing more disturbed. When a violent storm leaves Sarah and her daughter stranded, Sarah finds herself tortured by the past – what really happened on that fateful day one of her daughters died?

‘Unbearably gripping and suspenseful’ Sophie Hannah

‘Strange and moving … complex and dramatic … the advantages and hardships of island life are well depicted and the Gothic mood is suitably creepy’ Sunday Herald

‘Chilling and utterly compulsive … builds to an incredibly tense and shiver-inducing conclusion’ Sunday Mirror

'Very eerie' Marie Claire

‘Chilling’ Look

‘A tense psychological thriller that builds with every page’ Sunday Post

‘With its creepy premise and bleak but beautiful settings, S.K. Tremayne has created a haunting, powerful thriller’ Paula Daly, author of Just What Kind of Mother Are You?

Nicely woven story full of clever twists and turns. There were no superfluous strings or characters to fill the pages. Every element contributed to create a wonderful chill.
Perhaps one small thing was that a couple of aspects of the story were a bit of a cliche. A lonely brutal Hebridean island for one.
The narration of the child's voice was excellent too.

Great story telling

loved every creepy minute. the narrator's were excellent, really drawing you in. i felt like I was living on that wee Scottish island. I could feel the cold winds and the storm. The grief felt by each family member was so different and each had their own repercussions entwined with each other. I didnt want it to end. A sad, haunting read, perdectly executed. will buy more from this author and from the narrator's too.

spooky, atmospheric and addictive

I didn't want to stop listening, this book had me gripped from the beginning, I really didn't see the ending coming either, which made it even better

a brilliant book

The first 10 chapters were a bit of a chore. The whole story was rather dark.

Dark and interesting but not inspiring.

Fairly enjoyed this but the poor Scottish accents really grated on me taking away some of the enjoyment .
