About this listen

A brooding and suspenseful thriller that will appeal to fans of Rachel Abbott, Mark Edwards and Shalini Boland.

Faye and her husband, Hugh, have had a traumatic year. Wanting to start again, the couple decides to buy a large run-down property in North Yorkshire, hoping to leave the past behind them.

However, the tranquillity is soon ruined when Faye begins to awake, every night, to the sound of somebody creeping around the bedroom. She tries to explain it to Hugh, frightened for the safety of their children, Aiden and Poppy, but Hugh dismisses her claims, thinking she is heading for another breakdown.

But when Faye discovers some diaries that contain secrets about the family that lived in the house before them, she starts to wonder if the intruder might be closer to home than she first thought.

worth a listen despite the dreadful pronunciation of several everyday words, rather annoying really but a good story nevertheless

off-putting prinunciation

I can cope with a wide scope of accents in narration..

Dreadful narration

The narration made this difficult to listen too. Monotone, bland and no excitement. The story could have been made so much more exciting with a decent narration. I managed to listen to the end. It was ok. Glad to have finished.

Mundane but managed to finish it!

This story was OK and the author went out of their way to use a wide variety of adjectives and generally wrote well. Unfortunately the narrator misread or mispronounced her way through the book, defeated even by common words, which detracts from following the book somewhat and often seems to read too the end of a line rather than the end of a sentence.

Narrator dreadful

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The narrators inability to pronounce so many words distracts from the story which seems to be quite good.

Awful pronunciation.
