Story
The tide is turning against the colonists in the Revolutionary War, and 18-year-old Elizabeth Morris cannot sit by idly. Quietly disdainful of her Tory parents, who drag her along to society events and welcome a British soldier into their home during their occupation of New York City, Elizabeth decides to take matters into her own hands. She realizes that, as a young woman, no one around her believes that she can comprehend the profound implications of being a nation at war - she is, effectively, invisible. And she can use this invisibility to her advantage.

The cell phone service may be spotty and the waves may be rough, but every detail has been expertly planned and will be expertly executed.

Slow burning Aussie suspense in the time of COVID
One of the things I like about the mystery/suspense genre is the age equality in main characters. Action, romance, and horror tend to star young, fit adults in their 20s and 30s, or 40s tops. Here, Don Barlow is a 70s retiree hunkering down in his beachside Australian pad during COVID-19. Nice to see that old folks can star in good fiction too. (I say that with love from the mid-century mark).
Riding out COVID in the U.S., I found the Australian treatment of it interesting. The writing really brought the culture and the characters alive and I learned some new terms, like budgies (Speedos style swimsuits) and milos (chocolate malted drinks). I very much enjoyed the narrator’s Australian voice. Several of the month’s free Audible selections feature outstanding female narrators capable of great range in voicing genders, ages, and accents. Bravo.
As the title suggests, the central mystery is whether the 19 year old appearing at his door is really who she claims to be. The suspense builds gradually, with enough twists along the way to make me doubt my predictions. I did bump the speed to 1.3x, but this was a nice simmering suspense.
Mild touching on topics of crime, violence, and teen pregnancy, but not in any graphic or profane way.

A Multi-faceted Exploration of "Social Isolation"
I didn't expect to see a deep family drama exploring the many types of social isolation in the Covid19 era published quite so soon! The Cuckoo's Cry is a moving revelation of family secrets and personal tragedies within the confines of class, sex, and social mores. The characters are appealing and finely drawn. The plot grabs your attention and doesn't let go. I laughed and cried--sometimes at the same time. All this in an absorbing drama running under five hours. Bravo!
(P.S. Thanks, too, for the new, softer female voice instead of Audible's former explosive tagline at the end!)

Character driven mystery...
...in which some of the characters are drawn better than others.
I like the narrator's voice and, overall, this book is enjoyable if you're in the mood for a short suspense/mystery novel (one that won't give you nightmares).
Even though I didn't find the end very compelling, I do think there's some food for thought throughout the book especially in the family dynamic.

I thoroughly enjoyed this story. It was well written and well narrated, easy listening with just enough ‘what’s going to happen next’ to keep you listening. And as someone of the same age as the ‘elderly’ man in the story, born around the same time, I was with him all the way!
Heartily recommended.

Fast paced and gripping
Right from the get go, the reader will know something isn’t quite right with this character.
I was gripped and needed to know what the twist would be, which I was very surprised at.
Shorter audiobook than I’d normally go for but I really enjoyed this.
The characters were good, I was getting worked up by his daughter in the book and felt frustration right until nearer the end.

Excellent story incorporating the pandemic in the timeline
This is the second book I’ve listened to which incorporated the pandemic in the background. I was pleasantly surprised at how engaged I was by the plot and characters and couldn’t stop listening. As a Victorian with lockdown fatigue this did not trigger any unpleasant memories, and I’m sure those who know Sydney will enjoy the local references.

Chosen as read by Aime and was not disappointed!
Very much enjoyed this book. A little repetitive with some conversations but I suppose real life is that way. The story holds reader interest long term. Had chosen to read as enjoyed another book read by Aimee Horne and she is just amazing!
