About this listen

‘Vivid and compelling’ Rosamund Lupton, bestselling author of Three Hours

A house stands alone in the woods.

Deep in the forests of Norway, Lexi finds a fresh start with Tom and his two young daughters, working as their new nanny.

The darkness creeps closer.

But Lexi is telling lies, and she’s not the only one. This family has a history – and this place has a past. Something was destroyed to build this house, and in the dark, dark woods, a menacing presence lurks.

Lexi must protect the children in her care – but protect them from what?

Atmospheric, gothic, spine-chilling, the new thriller from C.J Cooke will haunt you long after you turn the last page . . .

Spooky, intense, weird and sad. But also moments of fun and laughter. Poignant in places as broken lives are taped together only to shatter once more before the perfect ending.

What a wonderful story.

A lovely, well written, well performed, spooky, gripping story. Highly recommended. CJ Cooke is becoming a favourite!

CJ Cooke is fast becoming my favourite author, her books are rich, imaginative, her characters are believable and I always feel very invested in the main protagonist. The Nesting is no different, exploring Nordic folklore and mental illness it’s a really clever blend that draws you in. Parts are claustrophobic and creepy (in the best way) just close your eyes and you will be transported to the places of which she writes.

One of the very best story tellers …

Mystery, the supernatural and realism are all effectively combined here to compelling effect. Issues of mental health are dealt with sensitively and the supernatural elements of the story are skillfully wrought, without feeling clunky or over egged. I loved the narrator/ voice actor's performance and will look out for more of her work. The most enjoyable piece of fiction I've read in some time.

Compelling story, beautifully performed.

This is an engaging book that an interesting story. I struggled to like the FMC as I found her quite irritating, but that's my own preference. It felt like there were loose ends that weren't really resolved, which is a shame. but it's enjoying and immersive and typical CJ Cooke style with excellent writing and characterisations
