About this listen

 A new job. A new home. A new start.

It's all Anna wants.

But in a closed rural community, strange traditions and a suspicion of outsiders mean everything is not as it seems.

Three teenage girls have vanished at the annual Gathering as they reach their sixteenth birthday.
No one seems to be investigating.
And a fourth girl begs Anna for help, fearing that she will be next to disappear.

Everyone has secrets.
Anna is watching everyone.
But who is watching Anna?

An unpredictable and wild story, with shocks, surprises and a killer twist for a finale.©2024 Sharon Bolton (P)2024 Orion Publishing Group Limited Crime Fiction Domestic Thrillers Psychological Thriller & Suspense

I’ve read everything by Sharon / SJ Bolton. I do much prefer the earlier stuff but even so, this was disappointing. The way things were handled by the police and psychiatrist was just ridiculous.

I was interested enough in the story to stick with it, some of the twists were obvious, some not. Overall it was fairly enjoyable.

The thing that nearly stopped me listening was the narration. Absolutely awful. What on earth was going on with all the rolling of the r’s? Had that been one character’s way of talking ok but it was all over the book. Incredibly irritating.

Poor narration

This is a very clever plot and was a very enjoyable listen. I haven’t come across a twists quite like this so found it absolutely brilliant

Woah! I listened to this as an audiobook and I’m so glad I did as it really made an extra impact to the story! When the audio first started, I’ll be honest I found the speaker annoying - a posh ‘toff’ sounding older woman read the story and even the roll of her R’s and the non-silent H’s in words such as ‘what/who’ felt like I was being read a story aimed at children by a strict head mistress, I very nearly didn’t stick the story out!

But then that first plot twist came…then the second….then the third slapped me hard….then came the conclusion of the final scene…

I picked my jaw up off the floor and had the write my review straightaway - this book was SO GOOD!!

Would not only recommend but I would also recommend the audiobook for an additional impact that’ll slap you HARD!!

A MUST LISTEN OF 2025!!
