About this listen

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of She Lies in Wait by Gytha Lodge, read by John Hopkins, Aimee-Ffion Edwards, Joe Coen and Gytha Lodge.

Six friends. One killer. Whom do you trust?

On a hot July night in 1983, six school friends go camping in the forest. Bright and brilliant, they are destined for great things, and young Aurora Jackson is dazzled to be allowed to tag along.

Thirty years later, a body is discovered. DCI Sheens is called to the scene, but he already knows what's waiting for him: Aurora Jackson, found at long last.

But that's not all. The friends have all maintained their innocence, but the body is found in a hideaway only the six of them knew about.

It seems the killer has always lurked very close to home....

Volume changes throughout performance which frustrated me listening in the car. Aurora's character is written and read so beautifully. Story is ok. I can't think of any stand out points though.

It's ok

I rarely bother to write reviews, but Gytha Lodge is going to be a force to be reckoned with. I was gripped from start to finish. Bravo!

This was my first book with audible and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The reading was wonderful with clear by gripping narration and the story itself was a riveting listen. Highly recommend for any interested in crime fiction.

A great listen

Struggled to finish it. The characters were one dimensional and unlikable, and I guessed the killer pretty much immediately. Huge disappointment as it did sound promising.
