Critic Reviews:

"Scared to Death is one of those book that creeps up on you, beautifully observed and written, skillfully plotted and developed and with characters as complex and flawed as your most interesting friends. I loved it." (Simon Toyne)

"Tremendously accomplished - a slow burn builds into an edge-of-the-seat thriller. Complex, humane and completely convincing." (Mel McGrath, author of Give Me the Child)

Members Reviews:

Excellent - another brilliant thriller

I really enjoyed this book, a fast paced and interesting story with great characters. Deals with difficult issues well. Narrator was brilliant. Having read two Dr Jessie Flynn books, I can't wait for number 3!!

Members Reviews:

Baffled

Although I enjoyed listening to this book I was very surprised by the ending. It didn't really make any sense to me or maybe I missed something.....

Oh dear

Rubbish. Alice is an irresponsible, pretentious, blathering idiot. Don't bother unless you enjoy disliking every single character and don't care about credibility of plot or characters.

Boring

What a waste of my time.... sooo boring and senseless! Dont bother, really not a good one. Do NOT recommend it!

Gripping, entertaining, great read. Recommended

Great book. Gripping. I devoured it. Cotterell is a master. I only wish I could find more books by TA!

Ratings: 2 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Psychological

Publisher's Summary:

How far would you go to save your reputation? The stunning new noir thriller from the author of the best-selling The Missing One and The Other Child. Perfect for fans of I Let You Go and The Ice Twins.

Professor Olivia Sweetman has worked hard to achieve the life she loves, with a high-flying career as a TV presenter and historian, three children and a talented husband. But as she stands before a crowd at the launch of her new best seller, she can barely pretend to smile. Her life has spiralled into deceit, and if the truth comes out, she will lose everything.

Only one person knows what Olivia has done. Vivian Tester is the socially awkward 60-year-old housekeeper of a Sussex manor who found the Victorian diary on which Olivia's book is based. She has now become Olivia's unofficial research assistant. And Vivian has secrets of her own.

As events move between London, Sussex and the idyllic south of France, the relationship between these two women grows more entangled and complex. Then a bizarre act of violence changes everything.

The Night Visitor is a compelling exploration of ambition, morality and deception that asks the question: how far would you go to save your reputation?

Members Reviews:

Excellent

I enjoyed this novel very much. Well written, well plotted, I felt the characters were very three dimensional. My only complaint was the narrator playing Olivia - a very irritating semi-gabbling way of talking. I found it very distracting, had the novel not been so good I would probably have given up.

Good story marred by poor narration and audio

This novel has all my favourite ingredients: mystery, darkness, a literary feel and more than a few twists and turns. It should have been a five star read but for some reason it never really quite got there. I blame much of this on the dreadful, screeching narration by the actress who read Olivia but there was also an overarching feel that we'd been here before - with Notes on Scandal, which is a far superior piece of writing. That said, it was still an enjoyable (if predictable) read.

Ruined for me by Julia Franklin's narration!

This story is unusual and well written, the character's well drawn. I found the main protagonist, Olivia, self obsessed, shallow and generally unlikeable. I warmed to Vivian more. Unfortunately, the experience of listening was ruined by the narration, specifically, that of Julia Franklin. In the early chapters, she moved towards and away from the microphone quite a lot and this resulted in my being unable to set the volume at a good level. Worse, when she voiced any character sounding angry, or upset, and whenever she voiced a child, she became very high pitched. This had me leaping for the volume control and feeling like pulling out my own teeth. There really is no need for it to be read this way. Sadly, a narrator can make or break the experience of listening to an audiobook.

How can a killer be 3000 miles away and at your doorstep at the same time?

Ashley Quinton is on the verge of madness after the release of a killer she helped put behind bars 19 years ago. Upon the exact moment of his discharge, she immediately receives calls from a local payphone from someone who tells her things only the killer would know. And then she begins to see items connected to her past - items that were given to her by this man when she was a child, only for them to disappear in a haze of smoke and mirrors before others can confirm her claims. As much as she points an accusing finger at the killer as the culprit, he's proven to be 3,000 miles away. Yet as far away as he is, he knows everything that's going on in Ashley's life because he's also at her doorstep.

Little to Recommend This One

Desperate . . . it would be easy to play on that word. I was really surprised at this book, it came over very poorly. I was scratching my head as to how an author of several novels could release something like this. The characters don't seem to have been given any development or consistency,

It bravely tries to deal with some hard issues such as domestic violence / cruelty but it does so with a palpable lack of empathy. The main character goes through some incredibly harrowing experiences and then almost immediately we are plunged into a parody of Mills and Boone. In addition the key twist is so vividly signposted that it's really no twist at all.

I have read that there was an "uncut" version of this book also. I almost wonder if in trimming the book some of the meaning was lost As it stands, this is a story that needed more depth, subtlety and consistency. Sorry, not one I can recommend.

Members Reviews:

Not a gripping psychological thriller!!

More of a confusing, disorganized, stupid story line that i ever had the unpleasure to try & read. However, never made it to the halfway point & i listened to the book so didn't have to suffer from all the typos others mentioned. NOT recommended.

Compelling, clever and multi-layered

Compellingly rich in detail, this book repeatedly took me back to the 80s and allowed me to smile in gentle recognition before jolting me into a new stomach-clenching reality in the present. I was quickly hooked.

Somewhat ironically, this book about friends probably cost me some of my own, making me selfish about carving out time to listen to it. Worth every minute.

Dreadful, predictable

I started listening to this book with great hopes as I've enjoyed previous audiobooks. Not this one.

Didn't take long and I found I could predict the next bit. None of the promised suspense, just a boring level of a convoluted, but predictable, story. Yawn, yawn.

Publisher's Summary:

He's her son, but he's no good. How far will she go for him?

Not all sons make their mothers proud....

June Dawson has come a long way from her rough East End background. She now lives in a nice little cul-de-sac in Rainham with her ultra-respectable husband and a lovely social life. But her world collapses when daughter Debbie announces that she is pregnant by her low-life drug addict boyfriend, Billy McDaid. June feels as though she is being sucked back into the world of villains and thugs she thought she had escaped forever.

But worse is yet to come. The baby - doted on by his violent and feckless dad - grows into the child from hell. He is mean, sadistic and out of control. Suddenly the family is not just in crisis. It is in meltdown.

Critic Reviews:

"This beautifully crafted, sharp, well-paced novel will keep you hooked until the very end. An outstanding tale of betrayal, violence and love. Buy it. Read it. You'll love it. I did." (Amanda Prowse)

"Kimberley Chambers is the queen of the gritty, low-life tale...a fast-paced, thrill-a-minute ride that takes you on all sorts of twists and turns." (Bella)

"Easily as good as Martina Cole." (News of the World)

"Brilliantly delivers a story of violence, treachery and family ties.... Easy to read and hard to put down." (News of the World)

"A fast-paced tale with gritty authenticity." (The Guardian)

Members Reviews:

Didn't enjoy this!

The storyline could have been good and started well. However, I found the characters unbelievable and unlikeable. Too much gratuitous bad language in my opinion and I found that I began to intensely dislike the mother of the child who was portrayed as "evil". In my view, he was thoroughly let down by all the adults in his young life and - although I finished the book - I was extremely annoyed by the way in which the adults got to live happily ever after. Perhaps that's what the author intended? In which case she succeeded!

Great Book

Really enjoyed this book well worth a read as good as Martina Cole any day

gripping

loved it finnished it in 2 days kept me gripped untill the end worth the listen

born evil

An addictive story. This book just drags you in,it leaves you wanting to read the next chapter

OK NOT GREAT

This book was a little disappointing for me. After reading the Mitchells and the O'Hara's I was expecting more. I was so disappointed with the end and felt the author just rushed to a conclusion. Annie Aldington was, as usual, great but maybe I am a little biased because I am a big fan. Hopefully Kimberley's other stand alone books will be more like that of her series.
