Publisher's Summary
Bloomsbury presents The Leviathan by Rosie Andrews, read by Rupert Farley.
A beguiling tale of superstition, myth and murder, perfect for fans of The Binding, The Essex Serpent and Once upon a River.
She is awake....
Norfolk, 1643. With civil war tearing England apart, reluctant soldier Thomas Treadwater is summoned home by his sister, who accuses a new servant of improper conduct with their widowed father. By the time Thomas returns home, his father is insensible, felled by a stroke, and their new servant is in prison, facing charges of witchcraft.
Thomas prides himself on being a rational, modern man, but as he unravels the mystery of what has happened, he uncovers not a tale of superstition but something dark and ancient, linked to a shipwreck years before.
Something has awoken, and now it will not rest.
Richly researched, incredibly atmospheric and deliciously unsettling, The Leviathan is set in England during a time of political and religious turbulence. It is a tale of family and loyalty, superstition and sacrifice, but most of all it is a spellbinding mystery and a story of impossible things.
Critic Reviews
"Darkly compelling and dripping with atmosphere, The Leviathan is a bewitching tale of good, evil and all the shades in-between." (Stacey Halls, author of The Familiars)
"It’s hard to believe that such an accomplished novel could be a debut - The Leviathan is a gloriously dark story that sweeps you along to its harrowing yet satisfying conclusion. Superb." (Susan Stokes-Chapman, author of Pandora)
"Infused with creepy gothic dread and gorgeously written. Fantastic." (Amy McCulloch, author of Breathless)

A compelling story
A book that does not go where you may initially think, but the writing is so strong and the story so intriguing it draws you in. Wonderful from start to finish. Good narration.

unable to finish
I was really looking forward to listening to this book however, The narrator's voice /accent completely distracted me from the story. I had to stop listening at chapter 3 and return the book.
