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.

Critic Reviews

"Lee's delivery of both the narrative and the dialogue is flawless." (AudioFile magazine)

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

Great story, but

This is an amazing book! Take a few gritty subjects that we'd rather not think about and work towards the most alarming conclusions; take us through eye witness/listening moments until the final shocking resolution of the final pages. I'm exhausted! But it is 4:38am - I've listened without sleep all through the night. What a book! What a writer. Caroline Lee is a familiar Aussie voice who has developed heaps more voices as she's read so many books throughout the years. Five stars to everyone involved with this book. I'm still shaking my head, stunned.

OMG! I'm Stunned!

I have finished book one and book 2 love this series and it didn’t bother me about the Scottish accents. I think Caroline reads amazingly.

I normally struggle to pay attention and stick with books, but this book had me truly invested in characters, and was full of little twists and turns that I could not see coming. It seems very well researched too!

Cleverly written and engaging

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?

Can not wait for book three

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 .

Having grown up in the Blue Mountains I love hearing about my old romping ground and with a fantastic mystery. Kept me wanting to listen all at once.
