About this listen

In the summer of 1989, a local teen goes missing from the idyllic suburb of Camp Hill in Australia. As rumours of Satanic rituals swirl, schoolteacher Tom Witter becomes convinced he holds the key to the disappearance. When the police won’t listen, he takes matters into his own hands with the help of the missing girl’s father and a local neighbourhood watch group. But as dark secrets are revealed and consequences to past actions are faced, Tom learns that the only way out of the darkness is to walk deeper into it.

Wild Place peels back the layers of suburbia, exposing what’s hidden underneath and attempts to answer the question: why do good people do bad things?

From the international best seller Christian White, Wild Place is a white-knuckle descent into a street near you.

Took this on a recommendation from a friend. This type of book is. It normally in my wheelhouse. Thought at first I was in for a rather formulaic listen, but I was very wrong. Didn’t expect this to twist and turn the way it did, but I spent much of the book feeling the character’s nerves and guilt.

Special mention to the narrator! Incredibly entertaining Australiana voice acting. Rarely does a narrator carry off an entire cast of characters with such aplomb.

5/5 would recommend

The only negative thing I can say about Christian White is that his books need to be double to length because I am always obsessed with the characters he creates and the stories he weaves.
Wild Place was no different. Every character felt like someone I knew or had known. I felt part of the scenery. Just awesome

Never disappoints

This is another fantastic read by Christian White. The story had me hooked from the beginning. I loved the characters who were beautifully brought to life by the excellent narrator. If you enjoy an intriguing plot then I highly recommend this book.

Loved this. Felt as though I’d melted back through time, to a place I remember well. Characters so real you feel like you know them. Christian’s ability to put the reader in the story is other level.
I was on the edge of my seat through the entire story and at one stage I thought everyone was guilty!
Cannot wait for the next Christian White book! Please tell me it’s sooner rather than later!
The narrator did a fantastic job, the emotions came through and his characterisations were on point.
Highly recommend.

Another ripper story from Christian White

This one wouldn't let me go. At the very beginning I doubted I would continue but once the hook was set I was reeled in all the way. The ending felt well rounded... until the epilogue blew it open again. Perfect.

Completely Brilliant

I did not see that coming!

Wow!

I really enjoyed this one, It wasn’t bloated kept the right amount of intrigue , and doesn’t give too much of the mystery away. I also like how they don’t make their ending to clean.

A good listen
