Narrado por: Gloria Sanders

‘I gobbled it up in two sittings, quickly turning pages to see what would happen next. The windswept, desolate setting, cold, gloomy manor house and dark characters created the perfect stormy day read… And did I mention the twists? Oh my goodness!’ NetGalley reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

When a young widow’s little girl vanishes, could a dark family secret hold the answer?

On the death of her aunt Gwyn, Lowri returns once more to Gwyn’s home on the remote island of Anglesey, Wales, with her young daughter Ruby in tow. Lowri hadn’t seen her aunt in years, but this beautiful island offers a fresh start.

Yet right away, strange things begin to happen. Ruby insists an old woman is visiting her when no one else is watching, and a tattered old doll keeps being left for Ruby to find.

Then Ruby goes missing. Desperately seeking answers no one seems to have, Lowri looks to her dark family past for clues. But the secrets she uncovers suggest that Ruby is not the only one in danger, and time is running out – for both of them…

A terrifically dark and twisty tale that asks: can you ever really trust those closest to you? Perfect for fans of Ruth Ware, Cass Green and C.J. Tudor.

Reseñas de la Crítica

Authors love Anne Wyn Clark

‘Creepy, claustrophobic and compelling! A beautifully written thriller that kept me glued to my Kindle’ Miranda Rijks, author of The Visitors

‘Haunting psychological suspense… Will send shivers down your spine’ Alice Hunter, author of The Serial Killer’s Wife

“Whisper Cottage was a dark and atmospheric thriller that pulled me in from the very first page.” Stephanie DeCarolis, author of The Guilty Husband

'Chilling and wonderfully atmospheric, with an ending that took me surprise – I couldn’t put it down' Amanda Brittany, author of Her Last Lie

Ugh

I hung in there but finally had to stop. The plot was very involved with lots of dubious characters. Too many twists with not enough mystery.

A Good Book

I enjoyed Anne Wyn Clark’s first book “Whisper Cottage” a bit more than this one, but this was still an engaging and well written listen.
The story itself is unique, and has an atmospheric setting and interesting characters.
I guess the issue I have is just that, the location sounds astounding, a cliffside manse overlooking the sea that is also a funeral home and has been for many, many years filled with very intriguing characters…yet I didn’t feel the place, it lacked the kind of depth of description and sense of place that I found so immersive in her previous book.
It seemed that there could have been much more development with these characters, and with the location itself.
There was just a dimension left out or lacking that I can’t exactly put my finger on.
However, the narration is excellent. The protagonist is relatable, and it was, ultimately entertaining enough that I wanted to know what happened next and finished the book.
I just wanted a little more detail, about the place, about the people, there were nuances that just never got tapped into.
Overall worth a credit.
I just hope that, considering how talented AWC is that her next offering reaches a little bit deeper in terms of the descriptive aspects of the characters and the fascinating location(s)
This author has incredible potential and incredible talent.
I will be right there when her 3rd book comes out.
