Summary
One of Sarah's daughters died. But can she be sure which one? A terrifying psychological thriller that will chill you to the bone.
A year after one of their identical twin daughters, Lydia, died 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?

Pretty good story, let down by reading.
Didn't like the main female reader, very annoying when doing the child's voice. No idea why a male reader was only used for the epilogue. Ending seemed a bit unclear.

Just ok
I was hoping the story would grow in intrigue and suspense but I found it quite boring throughout, slow for 2/3s and then some twists thrown in at the end.
The narrator - penny rawlins - is good on the whole, but I wish she wouldn't shriek when she is doing the child's voice. This is an audiobook so will be listened to on earphones or in the car maybe, and her voice was so shrill in parts, it became ear splitting!

Story great, narration terrible
Where does The Ice Twins rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
The storyline was good and very intense and different. Several shocking moments and I liked how I didn't know what was true and what wasn't.
What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
The main narrator was semi ok but the second narrator was terrible and I didn't understand why they would use two female narrators to play the same people because they sounded different when reading the same character. Very weird. Terrible Scottish accents and one of them made the child sound totally different to the other.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
I don't want to spoil it but I wouldn't say it is a moving book, more thrilling.
Any additional comments?
The narration really did spoil this book. I think if I had read it it would have been a lot better. I would steer clear of these narrators again if I noticed them on a book for Audible. Still I couldn't stop listening and that was the story that kept me gripped.

A chilling and wonderful story
the primary narrator brought this story to life. I will listen to her again.
gripping story, I was hooked by the end of chapter one.
different people will interpret this story differently, it could be a very exciting book for a book club .

spooky, atmospheric and addictive
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.

Compelling
The storyline makes very compelling listening. However, some of the reading voices were annoyingly "wrong"

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

Great, soothing reading of a good story.
Great reading, good story. A bit slow at times, but very relaxing overall. Scottish natives may find the accents below par.

Excellent tale
Liked the story, I thought I had it figured out so many times before the end, but I'm not saying if I was right or wrong, because I don't like spoilers - there's nothing worse than a review that tells you that there's a twist at the end. So I'm not going to tell you if there was or wasn't. You will just have to take my word for it that the story is truly fantastic.
Now for the negative... There were times when we seemed to go to a different narrator, and it didn't seem necessary. Maybe if I listen again knowing the full story it might, I don't know.

Eerie - read with light on
This is a really well told story of grief and madness set against the eerie backdrop of a deserted Scottish island and read in a series of eerie disturbed voices. The story has many twists and turns and you never quite know where it's going which could be irritating but actually works well in this instance, even the ending is open to severe interpretation which I think befits the book rather well
