A Narrow Door

De: Joanne Harris

Narrado por: Alex Kingston, Steven Pacey

An electrifying tale of psychological suspense and revenge at an elite boarding school where secrets run deep.

Now I'm in charge, the gates are my gates. The rules are my rules.

It's an incendiary moment for St Oswald's school. For the first time in its history, a headmistress is in power, the gates opening to girls.

Rebecca Buckfast has spilled blood to reach this position. Barely 40, she is just starting to reap the harvest of her ambition. As the new regime takes on the old guard, the ground shifts. And with it, the remains of a body are discovered.

But Rebecca is here to make her mark. She'll bury the past so deep it will evade even her own memory, just like she has done before. After all...

You can't keep a good woman down.

"Exhilarating. Addictive. Fierce." (Bridget Collins, best-selling author of The Binding)

"A psychological thriller you can't put down and an antiheroine you won't forget." (Harlan Coben)

Absolutely Brilliant

One of the most well written, smartly composed books I’ve read in an incredibly long time.
I found this story to be endlessly entertaining and very, very cleverly done.
The dual narration and dual timelines only add to the beauty of this audio experience.
Joanne Harris is an extraordinary talent.
The narration is exceptional,

Well done mystery

This was an engrossing story with excellent pacing and a storyline that, although was a little predictable, was great fun. The audible edition was extraordinarily good! The narration was lively and provided a wonderful dimension to the story.

Worth 3 Credits..!!!!.. Phenomenal..!!

Seldom am I moved to gush over a book ,.. but this one , quite frankly was stupendous….
However, they could have shaved off an hour of listening time if they’d dropped the dates at the start of each short chapter…. My only complaint

Optional heading

I love a suspense story that keeps me guessing throughout the book. Just when I thought I had everything figured out, a new twist sent me back to guessing again. Both narrators are excellent--so much so that I listened to the entire book in two days. Definitely worth a credit.

At least 80 pages too long

Great writing and a compelling premise, but utterly bogged down and plodding, especially towards the end. You’ll hear more about plumbing than you could ever have wanted to hear.
