Stranger in the Woods

De: Anni Taylor

Narrado por: Harriet Gordon-Anderson

Photographer Isla Wilson is thrilled she's landed her dream job, but the clients who hired her are getting stranger by the day.

It sounded so perfect—a month's assignment at the lush Scottish Highlands property of architect Alban McGregor, and his wife, Jessica.

But in the woods, there's a playhouse with a chilling history.

Two years ago, the McGregors' daughter Elodie was abducted and then died in that playhouse. The townspeople insist her abductor had to be a stranger in their town. Alban refuses to knock the playhouse down, even keeping a picture of it on his wall.

Sensing the McGregors and townspeople are keeping terrible secrets, Isla plans to discover the truth.

But the closer Isla comes to uncovering answers, the more the danger mounts. And with a dense cover of snow now blanketing the town, all chance of escape might already be gone.

ANNI TAYLOR lives on The Central Coast, north of Sydney, Australia, with her partner and four boys. Her thriller novels include The Game You Played, Birds in Flight and Poison Orchids.

Storyline is bonkers

This is a candy book, nothing substantial to it but enjoyable to consume. Some plot lines got so ridiculous that I had to laugh them off. Other misdirections were interesting and genuinely surprised me. Overall, good book to listen in airports, on long car trips, and while doing chores.

Excellent story and Performance

Good story and I’d give the narrator more stars if I could. Her accent helps too.

Loved how it all tied in together

Fabulous mystery, keeps you guessing and wondering until the very end and I loved how they end up answering every question

WOW!

It has been a long while since a book has gripped me this strongly! For fans of mystery and suspense, this WILL be soooo satisfying! The characters and clues, the twists and turns, are so skillfully laid out that you won't be able to turn away. Checks all the boxes for those who crave the adrenaline rush from a good book in this genre.

It was all top notch!

The story was fresh and kept me guessing. I wish every narrator had the voice and skills of Harriet Gordon-Anderson. I’m a new follower.

Truly amazing

This has to be one of the best books I’ve ever read (listened to). It flushes out everything perfectly and has a genuinely unpredictable story line and twist. I’ve been unable to stop thinking about it for days, if you like mysteries and twists, and good writing, this is a must listen.

Exciting flawed female lead

Well crafted. Surprises all the way until the end. And there is not one mention one how the female lead uses her looks. Hip hip hooray.

amazing story… Unpredictable ending

I don’t usually write reviews, but this one deserves one. It kept me entertained, and on the edge of my seat, the entire book I can’t believe this was in the plus catalog. The narrator was great, and I highly recommend this book.

Amazing, unexpected, forced?

4/5stars but it would have been a solid 5/5 stars if a major key event didn’t seem so forced at the end.

An easy listen

Although this story line is very sad, I was hooked from the beginning. I guessed who the villain was, but was wrong. It kept me guessing. I really didn’t want to stop listening!
