About this listen

No one expected them to go there. The question is: will any of them leave?

Six friends travel to a remote island north of the Scottish Highlands for an old school reunion. They’ve rented The Lighthouse – a stunning, now abandoned building that was once notorious for deaths at sea.

On the first evening, someone goes missing. The group search all through the night to no avail. But when the five remaining friends return to the lighthouse early the next morning, they are shocked to find James inside. He’s looks terrified – but won’t say a word about where he’s been.

The party vow to put the strange night behind them and enjoy the rest of their stay, but when more unexplained things begin to occur, tensions escalate. It’s clear James knows something, but nothing will persuade him to give up the secrets of the island. Is he protecting his friends from a terrible truth, or leading them into more danger?

A chilling and powerfully atmospheric suspense novel with a gothic edge, perfect for fans of The Hunting Party and The Sanatorium.

story took ages to come to some kind of fruition i nearly tuned out but gave benefit of doubt even then i personally thought it still dragged on well narrated though

slow

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

Very disappointing. It took ages for nothing much to happen. Excellent narration, but just a dull story with not very interesting characters.

Much ado about nothing

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

I had high hopes for this in the early chapters, but then nothing really happens and every character is bland and vanilla.
The ending is dull, dull, dull.

Pretty boring
