Thicker than Water

De: Anthea Fraser

Narrado por: Anna Bentinck

James Markham's family are shocked when he jilts his fiancée for a woman he met only days earlier and about whom he appears to know very little. When they meet Abigail they are swayed by her beauty and charm, but puzzled by the aura of mystery that surrounds her.

Callum Firbank is successful, with a loving family and a comfortable home. But he has always been evasive about his childhood.

Jill Irving runs a hotel in Dorset and has everything she could wish for. She also has secrets in her past.

What links these three very different people? And who is the mysterious stranger whose appearance in their lives seems to cause such terror?

excellent

This is a great book. Fraser is one of my favorite writers and I have read or listened to most of her books. This is the best one ever

Suspenseful

I really enjoyed this book. It was quite suspenseful and eery at times but not overbearing. This one had me glued to my headphones.

It was OK

This book did keep me listening, although the latter half was definitely a lot less involving than the first half, and the whole genesis for the murders required a complete suspension of belief (unless you accept as fact that a heretofore solid citizen can be derailed into a psychotic killer within days after learning of a decades-old event). Also, I still want to know what the episode was that split the three siblings completely asunder in young adulthood; unless I dozed off, that was referred to but never explained, and since some of the plot hinged on the fact, it needed to be. But Anna Bentinck has a very pleasant reading voice (I will look for more of her work), and I wanted a nice, long story to listen to during a day in the garden, and this book filled that bill admirably.
