About this listen

A decade ago, the Lullaby Man preyed upon young girls in Tallman's Valley. He stole into their lives, whispered in their ears, spoke of love.

Abby Wakeland was 14 then. Now 24, she's found the courage to tell her mother - Senior Detective Kate Wakeland - about what happened.

The Lullaby Man was her teacher.

What Abby reveals next will lead Kate down dark, twisting tunnels of discoveries that will blow this small town apart.

Loved this story, much better than the first one and I really enjoyed the first one! Narrator was great but once again the accents were just a little annoying but not enough to spoil the story. Plot was excellent, slow build up and not easy to guess the ending. I enjoy the way this writer ties up all the loose ends and doesn't leave you hanging like so many do. Really looking forward to book 3.

Great Story

As the heading says I can't wait for the last instalment. Why is such a small town so sick and evil?

I love the way the story is brought together at the end. This however, was a gripping book from the beginning. There are so many twists and turns .

Great sequel. I adore the narrator Caroline Lee- but her Scottish accent is pretty bad.

The characters were real people and the story took off right from the beginning so was difficult to leave off each time, as are all the Anni Taylor books I've listened to. Anni has become a favourite writer for me and I can't resist her works.

I really like Caroline Lee as narrator in all of the books I've listened to with her narrating, but her accents were dreadful, totally unrecognisable, made me cringe and were a distraction. Still, overall she did a good job. I gave her give stars anyway,

lots of twists and turns.

Sequel is strong but the narrator's attempts to mimic accents is worse than the first novel.

Great story, but
