A sister looking for answers.
A brother with secrets to hide...

Three days before Christmas, I travel to Midwinter Manor in Norfolk through a worsening snowstorm to meet Daniel, the brother I never knew existed. He has reluctantly granted me an hour of his precious time.

The welcome I receive is frosty. Daniel is cold, intimidating and unfriendly, while his wife, Rose, is polite, but tense. From the moment I step through the door of this imposing manor house, I sense I’m not welcome.

When I go to leave, the snowy blizzard prevents me. Then there’s a power cut and I can’t let anyone know where I am. I realise I am trapped.

Something feels wrong in this house. The way Daniel and Rose speak in whispers behind closed doors suggests something’s amiss. As cracks start to form in their stories, I wonder what it is they are hiding.

Midwinter Manor is a house full of secrets, and some of them are dangerously deadly.

The thrilling new listen for fans of Freida McFadden, Claire McGowan and Lisa Jewell.

I Listened To It In One Night!

Such a fantastic story! Couldn't stop listening! I was riveted the entire time. No, I didn't intend to loose a whole night of sleep, but I didn't want to wait to find out what was going to happen to the characters. Also, I'm such a sucker for a murder in an English manor during a snowstorm! Very good character development. Easy to follow. The story flowed really well. I felt like I was in the main character's shoes so my stomach was clenched much of the time. I've only taken off a star for performance because I'm not a fan of Imogen Church's voice and the way in which she reads. Sometimes her voice sounds really soft and feminine, then within the same sentence, it gets really sharp and harsh. I also don't love her "male" voices. It's only a personal preference, and clearly it wasn't enough to stop me from loosing a night of sleep! Dead of Winter was worth the credit I paid for it!

Winter is Coming*Imogen Church took me!

Keri Beevis wrote an intriguing story, original, suspenseful and everything you could want in a thriller. I highly recommend it and listen to it! So fun and it does count as a book even if you listen.

I think I was dipped in this story because it was so ‘on me’. I was even cold. Imogen Church can bring a story to life like nobody else. There really is a gift in there, like she temporarily possesses the spirit of the people in the story. I wouldn’t even call them characters because they become so ingrained in my own psyche as people. Some of them I miss when the book is over.

Even small variables in her intonation for the purposes of the story are smooth and not fake sounding. If you text me while I am listening to Imogen Church, I will be pissed off.

Oh WOW!

Loved this listen. It kept me hanging on. I kind of figured it out early on how it would go but still! There were some things that gave me all the appropriate feelings. Love this author!

The end

Ok best book I’ve listened to in a long time and of course the narrator was sooo amazing I loved everything about this book and narrator.

Really great book could have been 5 star

I loved the book very rich and original. Do not care for the narration. Turned the speed up to 1.35 and it was bearable.

fingernails on chalkboard narrating

hated the over acted narrating , the narrator trying to use different voices! And I figured out almost from beginning all of the twists!
