Not sure what to think...
The story and writing was good, and the narrator was talented but she didn't match the character. The main character was supposed to be in her early 40s and attractive, but the narrator sounded middle aged and frumpy? If that's possible to tell. I could predict what was going to happen once she visited the first psychic, so the ending was predictable. I was bothered by the weakness of the main character throughout. Why didn't she get her son some help? Homeschool him if school was so unbearable? He husband was never mean or abusive towards her ever, so why was she so afraid of him when they had their son? I know characters are meant to have flaws, but it was like, come on woman!
Dreadful Ending to a great story
I was really enjoying this - a tale involving the psychological effects on people with missing children, the breakdown of relationships and trust, the people willing to exploit them for profit, a mother unraveling with the long wait for news of her child - but the ending was just awful, ludicrous even.
A sinister Winter 's tale
An intriguing story, full of twists and turns, the narration was excellent, thoroughly enjoyed listening.
Loved this book!
Cassandra Parkin writes beautifully and Emma Gregorys performance is superb. I listen to 4 books a month, & have done for several years, but this is one of those that will stick in my mind. I savoured every moment, including the ending!
