About this listen

Myer lives on a NZ mountain farm with her border collie, chickens, sheep and her faithful horse, Mustard. She hunts and forages, and barely leaves the mountain, only venturing into town to stock up on provisions once or twice a month. It’s on one of these trips that she notices a toddler choking in a public carpark. She springs into action and saves the child, and then slips away, back up the mountain.

It’s been seven years since she fled to the edge of the world and reinvented herself, but her spontaneous act of mercy has brought her into the public eye. Which means that, despite all of Myer’s best efforts to outrun her brutal past and disappear, he will be able to find her at last...

A chilling, high-octane thriller from the bestselling author of Tell Me Lies and Trapdoor.

I enjoyed the story line.

Too short was finished before I knew it but really enjoyed it. I like the narrator.

Very different mystery

Unusual to hear a New Zealand accent for me during the reading, but it was well done and kept you on your toes once you get past the initial couple of chapters..

Another great story from Pomare

This author always delivers. The story in this case is told from the perspectives of the hunter and the hunted and makes for an absolutely nail biting experience. It features some stand out characters in Coke and T, and the author is to be commended for how complete these secondary characters are. The narration is spot on, with the accents well done.

Tense and thrilling!

Fantastic story, unexpected and so thrilling! Never miss a chance to listen to a JP POmare. I loved the way it was told, my only complaint is that it isn't longer because I could listen to these voices all day

easy listen

This was a good story in typical JP Pomare style, but it didn't have quite the unexpected twists I'd expected.
While the narration was clear & easy to listen to, the NZ accents were dreadful! They were very much slightly mangled Australian

Fantastic story line

Accents not realistic for characters, story enough of a ride

Story: a focus on emotion of main character

Narration: not believable, NZ accent by Australian narrator who did not know genuine accents and pronounced local names especially Māori names and place names, terribly. Frustrating!! Could easily have got NZer to narrate. Obviously wasn’t thought important enough to story- and really affected story!
I didn’t imagine this: every time the narrator mentioned Māori or Māori person, the tone was with distaste. Heck! What is that about?

Author has Māori nom de plume but I would say is not Māori or if s/he is, one who is Australian born bred with no knowledge of genuine Māori and NZ Aotearoa ways.

Must do better!
