About this listen

Photographer Isla Wilson is thrilled she's landed her dream job, but the clients who hired her are getting stranger by the day.

It sounded so perfect—a month's assignment at the lush Scottish Highlands property of architect Alban McGregor, and his wife, Jessica.

But in the woods, there's a playhouse with a chilling history.

Two years ago, the McGregors' daughter Elodie was abducted and then died in that playhouse. The townspeople insist her abductor had to be a stranger in their town. Alban refuses to knock the playhouse down, even keeping a picture of it on his wall.

Sensing the McGregors and townspeople are keeping terrible secrets, Isla plans to discover the truth.

But the closer Isla comes to uncovering answers, the more the danger mounts. And with a dense cover of snow now blanketing the town, all chance of escape might already be gone.

ANNI TAYLOR lives on The Central Coast, north of Sydney, Australia, with her partner and four boys. Her thriller novels include The Game You Played, Birds in Flight and Poison Orchids.

Amazing,

Fantastic, keeps you guessing until the very end. Just awesome. You won’t want to stop it, you can hardly wait till you can get back to it. So beautiful and loving in Some places and so sad and harsh in others. You will want more by this author.

Worthy Plus Catalogue Title

Compelling page turner that gets a bit weaker as the book closes. Worth noting, in the print version Anni Taylor talks a bit about some of own her personal tragedy and loss suffered while writing it, which may have been a factor. Excellent narrator and sound FX (like that Telephone Call EQ) are superbly entertaining, regardless. Will watch for more from Harriet Gordon-Anderson, I had one of Taylors books in my wishlist read by (Liane Moriarty ) audiobook star performer Caroline Lee, but the problematic plot and disappointing denouement in Stranger in the Woods have made it less of a priority,

Unpredictable & heartbreaking

At first I didn’t think I was going to like it but it ended up being so worth the listen! Definitely a long journey to the end but it was enjoyable

Captivating!

This was a great thriller. Great development of the characters and fairly good description of Scotland landscape and weather. I did not expect the conclusion of the events. Well done! Lots of mystery around the events that occurred and who are the vilains or quasi vilains.

The narrator was pleasant to listen to. The one thing that would make listening this audio book more enjoyable would be to have a masculin voice to the male characters.

Give it a try. It will not disappoint.
