Enjoyable listen
I enjoyed this book. It compulsive listening and I completed it in one day. The narrator was good. Very easy to listen to and enthusiastic in her performance. The story took a while to unfold but when it got going it was excellent. A complete page turner. I liked the way the author tied up all the loose ends in the books conclusion. This is the first book I have bought by this author, but will definitely listen to more. A good use of a credit.

Great story - unexpected ending
I really enjoyed this one and was caught up in the story right from the beginning but I wasn't expecting what came out at the end. Call my naive! Amy is a young girl who has been working as a nanny/housekeeper for a family in France when tragedy happens and the family have to return to Somerset to a small, cold cottage. Strange things happen in the cottage and Amy is determined to get to the bottom of it while protecting her charges. She falls in love and I really wanted it to turn out well for all.

Couldn’t finish it.
I was disappointed that I found this quite boring. Narrators voice don’t help. Sorry
I might try and give it another go another time.
