About this listen

I survived the accident. Now the real nightmare begins…

The chilling new psychological thriller by S. K. Tremayne, author of the Sunday Times No. 1 bestseller, THE ICE TWINS.

How long can they keep you in the dark?

It was just a patch of ice. But it was nearly enough to kill Kath Redway, spinning her car into Burrator Reservoir in the beautiful Dartmoor National Park.

She is shocked but delighted to escape with a few bruises and amnesia. But her family is not so pleased. Her handsome husband is cold, even angry. Her gifted daughter talks ever more strangely, about a 'man on the moor'.

Then, as chilling fragments of memory return, Kath realizes her 'accident' was nothing of the kind. And now her life collapses into a new world of darkness, menace, and terror.

Written in a very creative and dreamy way, and the one of the main characters had Aspergers and this was handled beautifully with a lot of insight. Gifted writer but a little too descriptive for me.
I felt that the story was a little lost among the sing song poetic way it was written with repetitive words and overly dramatic prose.

Well written but story didn't shine through

Interesting story ,suspenseful to the end, but wished it had an ending that was more realistic

A lovely little thriller, crime story about a happy, realistic dysfunctional family with a few twists and turns. A fabulous portrayal of Aspergers which I thoroughly enjoyed just sitting in, pondering, appreciating, empathising and just feeling so proud of. So thank you for that.

I really enjoyed this book
