About this listen

An imaginative, tight, edge-of-your-seat supernatural thriller which follows an historical mystery through to its nail-biting contemporary conclusion.

The String Diaries. A jumble of entries, written in different hands, different languages, and different times. They tell of a rumour. A shadow. A killer. The only interest that Oxford Professor Charles Meredith has in the diaries is as a record of Hungarian folklore... until he comes face to face with a myth.

For Hannah Wilde, the diaries are a survival guide that taught her the three rules she lives by: verify everyone, trust no one, and if in any doubt, run. But Hannah knows that if her daughter is ever going to be safe, she will have to stop running and face the terror that has hunted her family for five generations. And nothing in the diaries can prepare her for that.

Who was your favorite character and why?

All characters well developed and have depth

Which scene did you most enjoy?

The ending was a cliff-hanger and, even though aspects were predictable as the plot drew to a conclusion, there was an excellent twist.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

The story (and particularly the narration) gathered momentum as it progressed. I was quite breathless at the end.

Any additional comments?

Outstanding.

Best book for me this year

An intriguing and exciting supernatural thriller that grabs your attention from its opening words and never lets go. Written in beautifully evocative prose, The String Diaries is full of characters that draw you in, and scenes that feel as though you’re there in the heart of the story.

Breathtaking, brilliant and beautiful

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

The String Diaries is an intriguing book and very well ready. I loved the part set in the past. The disappointment for me was the end! Way to predictable, I thing Stephen Lloyd Jones ran out of ideas.....shame but still an enjoyable listen.

Intriguing
