Summary

How far will you go to protect your child? A superb Sunday Times number one best seller from the author of Six Years.

Tia and Mike Baye never imagined they'd become the type of overprotective parents who spy on their kids. But their 16-year-old son Adam has been unusually distant lately, and after the suicide of his classmate Spencer, they can't help but worry. They install a sophisticated spy program on Adam's computer, and within days, they are jolted by a message from an unknown correspondent addressed to their son: 'Just stay quiet and all safe.'

Meanwhile, browsing through an online memorial for Spencer, Betsy Hill is struck by a photo that appears to have been taken on the night of her son's death and he wasn't alone. She thinks it is Adam Baye, standing just outside the camera's range, but when Adam goes missing, it soon becomes clear that something deep and sinister has infected their community....

Hmmm

Very difficult to get into. Narration was difficult to follow with some characters but ultimately it was an acceptable story.

Great Story - Horrible Narration

Very poor narration which destroys a great story. Should come with a warning not to drive while listening to this story as it actually puts one to sleep. Due to the narrator it was very difficult to follow the story lines. Monotoned Monotonous voice.

Another Coben twister

As always a great Coben story. But I’m afraid I agree with other reviewers that I prefer Weber as a narrator. Or how about Richard Armitage?

Great Story, terrible narration

I really enjoyed the story but did have trouble keeping up with who was who.
The narration was like someone who hadn’t been reading for long, it was stilted and didn’t flow well, but I’ve heard worse….once, hence the lack of two stars for performance

Narration an issue

Story as good as ever from this authors stable but the narration was a disappointment with very incorrect and unconvincing intonation. Also, the production often sounded if it was recorded during a rain shower in a garden shed with little sound-proofing - such a shame

So-so, somewhat random

First up - the narration was horrible - plodding and robotic. I had to listen at *1.2 speed or I’d have expired. Secondly, the story was ok. There are really two main elements, plus a minor sub-plot and so it felt like the author had a few ideas and cobbled them together. The overall effect meant a proper suspension of reality was required. This has put me off Coben for a while at least.

Performance Dreadful narration

Narrated ‘word by word’, intonation dreadful, many every day words mispronounced. Distracts from the story and so irritating. Couldn’t listen to this man narrating again.
