Summary

A terrifying novel of a young man who is willing to defy everything. Even death....

Fabian Hightower has been killed in a car crash. At least, that is what a policeman is asking Alex, his mother, to believe. But Alex knows she saw him that morning - at a time when he must have been dead.

When the funeral is over Alex tries hard to forget her bizarre experience. But her mind seems to be playing strange tricks on her, turning her grief into horror. When she turns to a medium her worst fears are realised. Fabian has unfinished business, and he is determined to come back. But why?

Whatever the answer, something terrifies the medium so much she refuses to return. Alex longs to turn to others for support. But there is a secret about Fabian that only she knows - a secret she must never share....

"One of the best crime writers in the business." (Karin Slaughter)

"Genuinely frightening...only Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and Stephen King's The Shining have scared me as much." (Evening Standard)

Another comfortably satisfying read.

The story was excellent and a very unnerving subject. The Narrator was brilliant and her accents and different characters were fantastic. I will definitely watch out for Charlotte Strevens in the future. Peter James is always on my list of favourite authors 10/10

Genuinely Spooky

A very entertaining read for all who enjoy supernatural stories. Elements of mystery and the paranormal are blended in the plot, and the result is a binge-worthy listen. Recommended.

Loved it

I loved it even though it was so far fetched. It was very creepy in places.
Finished it in a day so quite fast moving. Well narrated. The narrator definitely brought it to life. I like Peter James books anyway so I suppose I'm a bit biased.

Not the best Peter James

I’m used to Peter’s books being read by a male narrator. Maybe that’s where this one has left me disappointed. However, as the story revolves around Mrs Hightower then it made sense to have a female narrator.
I did find the text repetitive at times especially when Mrs Hightower was talking to herself.

Not for anyone of a nervous disposition!
