About this listen

"Listeners will find it challenging to hit pause on this suspense thriller by Marshall...Perfect for listeners who enjoy intricately-plotted suspense thrillers full of family secrets, deception, and isolated settings."—Booklist (Starred Review)

A woman invited to her wealthy fiance’s family retreat realizes they are hiding a terrible secret—and that she’s been there before, by the bestselling author of What Lies in the Woods.

A whirlwind romance.

When Theodora Scott met Connor—wealthy, charming, and a member of the powerful Dalton family—she fell in love in an instant. Six months later, he’s brought her to Idlewood, his family’s isolated winter retreat, to win over his skeptical relatives.

Stay away from Connor Dalton.

Theo has tried to ignore the threatening messages on her phone, but she can’t ignore the footprints in the snow outside the cabin window or the strange sense of familiarity she has about this place. Then, in a disused cabin, Theo finds something impossible: a photo of herself as a child. A photo taken at Idlewood.

I’ve been here before.

Theo has almost no recollection of her earliest years, but now she begins to piece together the fragments of her memories. Someone here has a shocking secret that they will do anything to keep hidden, and Theo is in terrible danger. Because the Daltons do not lose, and discovering what happened at Idlewood may cost Theo everything.

Critic reviews

A Killing Cold is a gripping tale, full of dizzying twists and turns! It is packed with suspense and kept me frantically turning pages until the very end!”–Freida McFadden, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Housemaid

A Killing Cold is a tightly wound thriller perfect for fans of Stacy Willingham and Gillian Flynn. Readers will flock to this outstanding story. The suspense is palpable, the danger obvious but obscured, and the isolation creepy enough to raise the hair on the back of your neck. Theodora Scott is a fascinating and complex character, and the entire Dalton clan is everything you’d expect from a family who spends two weeks every winter locked away at their Grand Lodge. Secrets and coverups abound. Marshall has created a feral and alluring gothic that you won’t be able to put down.”—J.T. Ellison, New York Times bestselling author of A Very Bad Thing

“Tense, layered, and gripping from start to finish, A Killing Cold is a masterfully suspenseful, character-rich thriller of the first order. With the harsh winter landscape, isolated family compound, and buried memories come back to haunt, Marshall deftly creates an atmosphere of dread that will keep you up past your bedtime and chill you to the bone.”—Lisa Unger, New York Times bestselling author of The New Couple in 5B

A good story

This is a well thought out story with likable characters and a few good plot twists. The narration is also good. But it doesn't break the mold of mystery books with exceptional writing.

Riveting story/ immersive narration

Excellent descriptive writing, I was completely enthralled and transported to the stories geography and seasons. The narrator voices all the characters seamlessly and superbly with a pleasant cadence and believable voice.
I will be sure to check out both the author and the narrator for future works.
