About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
As seen on BBC 2’s Between the Covers.
A Guardian Audiobook Of The Week
Includes an exclusive bonus interview between Paula Hawkins and Gemma Whelan.
For twelve hours each day, the Scottish island of Eris is cut off from the mainland. No way in. No way out.
The island’s only house was once home to Vanessa, whose notoriously unfaithful husband disappeared twenty years ago. Now this remote and beautiful place is home to Grace . . . a solitary creature of the tides, guarding the island’s past.
But far away in London, a stranger has just made a startling discovery - a human bone where no human bone should be. And in that moment Grace’s precious isolation is threatened.
How will she respond? Can she be trusted? Or is it Grace who should be afraid?
Suddenly this is a very dangerous time to be alone . . .

A slog to listen to
I did not care for any of the characters. That said, it might make a good play.
The ending also sort of drifts off, and I had to go back and re-listen to see if I missed it. It's nowhere near as good as Girl on Train.

Tedious
Bored me. Unlikeable characters, thin plot, I abandoned due to total lack of interest in tedious people.

Yep boring and story ending just fizzled out
Had high hopes for this however I found it soooo boring and the story didn’t ever really take off. Really quite a painful listen.

Boring
I just found this book boring. The narrator was ok but sometimes the character voices were a bit hard to listen to

What a disappointment….
So slow and far too whimsical/self-indulgent drudgery. Not a dot of excitement. No real story, just drab depressive stuff over and over. Never got better, wish I’d not pursued it to the end.
What a shame, I have loved all Paula Hawkins books until this so will be very wary of her next book. Oh dear……
