Stranger in the Woods

De: Anni Taylor

Narrado por: Harriet Gordon-Anderson

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.

Excellent story and Performance

Good story and I’d give the narrator more stars if I could. Her accent helps too.

Storyline is bonkers

This is a candy book, nothing substantial to it but enjoyable to consume. Some plot lines got so ridiculous that I had to laugh them off. Other misdirections were interesting and genuinely surprised me. Overall, good book to listen in airports, on long car trips, and while doing chores.

amazing story… Unpredictable ending

I don’t usually write reviews, but this one deserves one. It kept me entertained, and on the edge of my seat, the entire book I can’t believe this was in the plus catalog. The narrator was great, and I highly recommend this book.

Loved how it all tied in together

Fabulous mystery, keeps you guessing and wondering until the very end and I loved how they end up answering every question

Truly amazing

This has to be one of the best books I’ve ever read (listened to). It flushes out everything perfectly and has a genuinely unpredictable story line and twist. I’ve been unable to stop thinking about it for days, if you like mysteries and twists, and good writing, this is a must listen.

Exciting flawed female lead

Well crafted. Surprises all the way until the end. And there is not one mention one how the female lead uses her looks. Hip hip hooray.

WOW!

It has been a long while since a book has gripped me this strongly! For fans of mystery and suspense, this WILL be soooo satisfying! The characters and clues, the twists and turns, are so skillfully laid out that you won't be able to turn away. Checks all the boxes for those who crave the adrenaline rush from a good book in this genre.

It was all top notch!

The story was fresh and kept me guessing. I wish every narrator had the voice and skills of Harriet Gordon-Anderson. I’m a new follower.

Amazing, unexpected, forced?

4/5stars but it would have been a solid 5/5 stars if a major key event didn’t seem so forced at the end.

Don’t give up on this- it’s definitely worth it

Although intrigued, ..Initially I was not 100% sold on downloading this book based solely on the summary of this title.. that it would end up being my cup of tea.
But being an expat from Australia, I am often pulled towards books written by and/or narrated by fellow Aussies.. so I took the plunge.
I won’t lie and say I this book had me pulled in right from thee start, and I just couldn’t pull myself away. Because, while it wasn’t terrible.. I just felt like the plot wasn’t really leading up to much and I figured I saw what was coming, based on being a frequent of these types of books and movies..
And… so…. Yeah… I was wrong on that.
Only in the minutes before the reveal of the synopsis of the plot, did I actually figure out what was about to happen.. and it was FAR from what I had assumed the plot line ending would be..
I was pleasantly surprised how well the writing ended up coming together in last few chapters, to pull all pieces together in a way that made sense, but without it being so overly far fetched simply and only to throw the reader off.
VERY VERY well narrated and the writing by the end, had me totally impressed by an author previously unknown to me..
Very much worth a credit for me… So, if you are tinkering on trying this title, give it a whirl as I did.. You just may end up being pleasantly surprised and realize as I did.. that you may not always actually know the way the story will go. :)
