Story4.5 out of 5 stars 22
Julia Curtis is a busy mother of three, with a husband often away for work, an ever-present mother-in-law, a career, and a house that needs doing up. Her 14-year-old daughter, Milla, has fallen in love for the first time, and her youngest, Ruby, is a nine-year-old fashionista who can out-negotiate anyone. But Julia’s 11-year-old son, Jackson, is different. Different to his sisters. Different to his classmates. In fact, Jackson is different from everyone. And bringing up a child who is different isn’t always easy.

It was summer in the mountains when five small children vanished from their nursery school picnic. The heat was stifling that day, the tinkle of an ice-cream van in the air.... Three-and-a-half years later, in the dead of winter, the children are returned to their families...one by one. All except for Ivy - the granddaughter of Homicide Detective Kate Wakeland. The other four children say Ivy is dead.

Worth listening to...
The Boy in the Barn is really a very good book. I thoroughly enjoyed listening and will definitely try future books by this author. The publisher’s summary gives more than enough information. There is a cautionary statement towards the end that warns possible listeners that this book is not for “the faint of heart “. As the story opens on the scene of a man in the process of being castrated, I think I would tend to agree. The book follows Sophie, a woman who escaped an abusive home. She’s 16 and pregnant. The baby’s father was also an abused child that Sophie discovers badly beaten in an unused barn on the family property. I am only giving the story four stars because the ending seemed a bit contrived. It wrapped up a little too quickly with a happily ever after. J. Scott Bennett does a fantastic job narrating. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. If you found this review helpful please indicate so. Thank You.

Fantastic Story but not for the Squeamish
I really loved this book. The story continued to evolve and wind together the different parts at a very satisfying speed. The narrator was great. There are some parts that depict extreme violence but it's pertinent to the story to betray the evil that lives in one of the characters. It is only a minor part of the overall story but it does start off this way so don't be turned off. Keep going and what develops is a very heartwarming story of good over evil.

Twisted but yet Interesting
The twisted plot has you wanting to read/ listen to more. True love is never ending but it can also save us in the end.

The Best Part of Book is the Narrator
I was intrigued by the story, but so many plot mistakes. It didn't make sense at certain points. The characters didn't seem real. The made crucial mistakes throughout. It was like it was written by two different people and spliced together. Left me annoyed.

Terrible Narrator
I could only listen to about 30 minutes of this book before deleting it. The narration was horrible in my opinion. He drags out his words to almost a hiss at the end of each sentence. He does a terrible job at differentiating his voice for different characters. They all sounded the same. I was hoping the story itself would be enough to keep me listening, but I don't understand all the hype. It never grabbed me, and I completely wasted a credit.

all over the place
The story is good, BUT all over the place. I found myself very confused at times and having to rewind and re-listen. This is definitely a book that I would have preferred a physical copy to read rather than listen.

Brilliant
I couldn't put this one down despite the dark subject matter. I really wanted to see the evil Samuel get his comeuppance and the ending didnt disappoint. I loved the bittersweet second chance romance between Luke and Sophie. A fantastic listen made more so by the excellent narration. I voluntarily reviewed a gifted copy.
