About this listen

A tense, emotionally charged thriller from a brilliant new voice.

It is the week before Christmas, and the cathedral city of St Albans is blanketed by snow. But beneath the festive lights, darkness is stirring. The frozen body of a young girl is discovered by the ice-covered lake.

The police scramble for clues. A local woman, Jenny, has had visions of what happened the night of the murder. But Jenny is an exhausted new mother whose midnight wanderings pull her ever closer to the lake. Then another girl goes missing, and the community unravels. Neighbour turns against neighbour, and Jenny has no idea who to believe. As Christmas Eve approaches, Jenny discovers a secret about her past - and why she could be key to everything....

I enjoyed this story and liked how it kept me guessing. I do agree with others that it was hard at times to keep track of the characters. I didn't think there was a lot of swearing. I liked the characters and enjoyed trying to pick what might happen.

Enjoyable

Can handle a bit of swearing but cannot stand the amount of coarseness. I didn’t finish because of that.

Swearing was too much for me.

I couldn’t follow this as the voices all sound the same. The Irish accent…. Oh Lordy! Awful. Story is so boring.

Couldn’t listen beyond chapter 12
