Summary
A new devastating psychological thriller from the author of the bestselling The Good Mother.
Angela was just a baby when she was abandoned, and a children's home is no place to grow up. When manager Ray takes girls off to his 'den' in the garden, they always come back crying...So, when wealthy couple James and Rosemary come to choose a child to adopt, Angela is desperate to escape. Years later, Angela starts to search for her birth mother, Evelyn, hoping to heal the scars of her childhood. But strange and sinister events start to unfold. And Evelyn fears she may not survive her daughter's return.

The story was decent. The narration was horrible, the distinct inhalation’s of breath were most annoying and did not add anything.

Quite slow to begin with,found narration irritating constantly talking a deep breath ,but story was good

It was a good story until the very ending that I was disapointed with. The ending ruined the book for me

The Narrator's lack of breath control and swallowing, was incessant. It made this a very difficult book to listen to.

Great Book and Author!!

The book itself is ok if you can tolerate the narrator gasping for breath, swallowing and lip smacking.

Absolutely terrible mouth noises, swallowing and heavy inhales throughout the book. If I would have known the ending was going to be so terrible, I wouldn’t have fought through the listen

The story was good, didn't like the ending, had to play it back a couple times to see what I missed at the end to understand it. Feel like it ended to abruptly!

loved the book and was very surprised towards the end but the ending was disappointing. I thought it would have wrapped everything up but it didnt. I was hopeing there would be a book 2 but there isnt.

Decent read, not amazing.

Profile Avatar Tracey R. Feb 2023

I really didn't like the ending. Quite disappointing

Profile Avatar Hilary R. Feb 2023

Imogen Church, usually the perfect narrator, disappointed, even marred this with her asthmatic gasping, though it may have even the fault of the producer. The story itself was laboured, long winded and I guessed th ending in the first couple of chapters, so it lacked suspense. Not her best.

In the beginning the heavy breaths of the narrator annoyed me. The more I got into the book I stopped hearing it. Great book!! I'll be listening to it again to see if I missed any clues. I normally have a book figured out in the first few chapters, this one however took me to the end.

The only reason I stuck with this book was because it was good, however, the narrators constantly having to take deep breaths was detracting.

Profile Avatar Janet T. Apr 2021

Good book. Narration could have been better.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jan 2021

Didn’t finish. Hard to listen to with narrator
