À propos de cet audio

The New York Times best-selling author of Promise Not to Tell returns with a simmering literary thriller about ghostly secrets, dark choices, and the unbreakable bond between mothers and daughters...sometimes too unbreakable.

West Hall, Vermont, has always been a town of strange disappearances and old legends. The most mysterious is that of Sara Harrison Shea, who, in 1908, was found dead in the field behind her house just months after the tragic death of her daughter, Gertie. Now, in present day, 19-year-old Ruthie lives in Sara's farmhouse with her mother, Alice, and her younger sister, Fawn. Alice has always insisted that they live off the grid, a decision that suddenly proves perilous when Ruthie wakes up one morning to find that Alice has vanished without a trace. Searching for clues, she is startled to find a copy of Sara Harrison Shea's diary hidden beneath the floorboards of her mother's bedroom. As Ruthie gets sucked deeper into the mystery of Sara's fate, she discovers that she's not the only person who's desperately looking for someone that they've lost. But she may be the only one who can stop history from repeating itself.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Jennifer McMahon is a writer of exceptional talent, and The Winter People is a hypnotic, gripping, and deeply moving thriller. With her beautifully drawn characters and complex, layered, and suspenseful story, McMahon has woven a dream from which I didn't want to wake - and couldn't have even if I wanted to." (Lisa Unger, author of In the Blood)
"In an edge-of-your-seat scary ghost story, Jennifer McMahon’s The Winter People yanks you from one page to the next by expertly weaving the past and present. I will never look at the woods behind my home in the same way again!" (Heather Gudenkauf, author of The Weight of Silence )

Great supernatural mystery. Guessed some parts but was surprised by others. Unpretentious and just the right amount of spooky.

As sad as it is suspenseful

I really enjoyed this book, my favourite out of the last 10 or so books I've read. I am a horror fan, so I enjoyed the simple, creepy moments such as a knocking on the closet door or the glimpse of a shape in the trees. The story was very interesting and kept me engaged right until the end. The book jumps in time to different characters but it is never confusing due to the chapter heads and character voices. It's not perfect, the characters made a few dumb choices to ensure the plot moved forward, but overall it was a rich story with believable, developed characters. Some other reviews mention the fact the narrator whispers. I also found this off-putting at first but note that it is only for the first chapter, for one particular character. The whispering does not continue for the entire book and I found the narrator did a great job with emotion and variation in the character voices. If you're the type of person that likes ghost stories around the campfire, you should like this book.

A Spooky, Engaging Story

This book was captivating and creepy! Really enjoyed it. Worth a credit to listen to. Enough twists to keep me listening nonstop.

I have heard Cassandra Campbell before and enjoyed her narration - both were great. There were times where the character Sara sounded a bit like the inflections of Moira Rose from Schitt’s Creek and that was at bit distracting, haha, but otherwise enjoyed the narration.

Creepy & enthralling

I saw some other reviews complaining about the whispery voice, but the bulk of the story doesn't have the whisperiness of the sample. There are times when the narrator lowers their voice a bit, but I didn't find it annoying at all, and I didn't have to adjust the volume up or down at all. Overall, the narration was good.

The story involves a bit of jumping back and forth between different time periods, which I found a little confusing at first, but it doesn't take long to figure who's who and when's when.

Good story overall, if you're looking for something sort of atmospheric and supernatural, but still with a bit of depth and substance to it.

The story of „The Winter People“ grabbed me right from the start and I couldn’t stop listening until finished in (almost) one go.
Masterfully narrated and wonderfully suspenseful. Spooky without robbing your sleep, I enjoyed listening to this well woven story every single minute.

This half ghost/half witchy thriller was suspenseful in a horror way, and in a mystery way. Loved every minute of it, I just wish there was more of it!

Great story, great narrator!
