About this listen

The Sanatorium took you to the Alps and chilled you to the bone. Now, The Wilds will take you deep into the woods . . . and out there, it's easy to get lost.


After the dark events that scarred her childhood, Kier Templer escaped her hometown and twin to live her life on the road. They've never lost contact until, on a trip to a Portuguese national park, Kier vanishes without a trace.

Detective Elin Warner arrives in the same park ready to immerse herself in its vast wilderness - only to hear about Kier's disappearance, and discover a disturbing map she left behind. The few strangers at the isolated camp close ranks against her questions, and the park's wild beauty starts to turn sinister.

Elin must untangle the clues to find out what really happened to Kier. But when you follow a trail, you have to be careful to watch your back...

Loved this story. The whole thing, start to end, had me hooked. Love the very careful yet honest way difficult relationships and abuse is explored here, as well as the mystery being unravelled. Can't wait for the next instalment!

Another great book!

Although I enjoyed it and listened to the end, this was not nearly as good as Pearse's previous books. They're always quite unbelievable, but this one was unbelievable, but also not as exciting. I do enjoy her writing style and the narration from Whelan was as beautiful as ever. I'll still look forward to Pearse's next book.

Quite enjoyed it, but not as good as previous books.

Sarah Pearse’s previous work are some of my favourite books, so I pre ordered this one as soon as it was possible. Sadly I found it hard to engage with and didn’t feel compelled to finish it.

Let down from previous work
