Beneath the Shadows

De: Sara Foster

Narrado por: Lorna Bennett

In this thrilling gothic suspense debut by Sara Foster in the tradition of Rosamund Lupton and Sophie Hannah, a young mother searches Yorkshire’s windswept moors for the truth behind her husband’s mysterious disappearance.

The answers are hiding Beneath the Shadows

When Grace’s husband, Adam, inherits an isolated North Yorkshire cottage, they leave the bustle of London behind to try a new life. A week later, Adam vanishes without a trace, leaving their baby daughter, Millie, in her stroller on the doorstep. The following year, Grace returns to the tiny village on the untamed heath. Everyone - the police, her parents, even her best friend and younger sister - is convinced that Adam left her. But Grace, unable to let go of her memories of their love and life together, cannot accept this explanation. She is desperate for answers, but the slumbering, deeply superstitious hamlet is unwilling to give up its secrets.

As Grace hunts through forgotten corners of the cottage searching for clues and digs deeper into the lives of the locals, strange dreams begin to haunt her. Are the villagers hiding something, or is she becoming increasingly paranoid? Only as snowfall threatens to cut her and Millie off from the rest of the world does Grace make a terrible discovery. She has been looking in the wrong place for answers all along, and she and her daughter will be in terrible danger if she cannot get them away in time.

Almost didn't finish

I love euro mysteries. This one has an awkward beginning but the narrator kept me hoping it would get better. it did.

Too long

Couldn’t get past hour 6 when I saw there were three more hours to go. Too much time spent on emptying boxes and very little suspense

One of my favorites this year

This was a great story and performance. I might’ve missed some sleep staying up to listen 😴

I was drawn in

I was drawn into the story after I got used to the reader's voice. Twisty and turny and a little too much freaking out, but I wanted to know what happened until I finally found out. Good book.

Beneath the shadowsy

I did like the book, it kept my interest and the reader was very clear, so it was easy listening

Read This!

So many twists and turns.
I thoroughly recommend this book.
I'll read others by author.

Excellent listen!

I really enjoyed this, twists and turns, I had a hard time turning it off!

Delightful

Loved the descriptions of the Yorkshire moors.....felt like I was right back there in the place where I was born. Great story line with a satisfactory ending. Characters were interesting and the accents of the narrator fit perfectly and added much to the story. Would definitely recommend this book.

Drama mystery and romance mix

I rarely like romantic stories yet this one touched me as it was more of an undercurrent and the mystery kept me guessing.

Great Book

I loved it from the very beginning to the very end. There were so many times and turns to the plot. The ending was very touching.
