"Narrator Rosalie Craig is especially adept at providing varying voices to assist the listener in identifying characters."–AudioFile Magazine

This program is read by London Evening Standard Award-winning actor Rosalie Craig, who also plays Virginia in Netflix's 1899.

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Whisper Man and The Shadows comes a dark, suspenseful new thriller about the mysteries of fate, the unbreakable bond of siblings, and a notorious serial killer who was said to know the future.

Growing up in a beautiful house in the English countryside, Katie Shaw lived a charmed life. At the cusp of graduation, she had big dreams, a devoted boyfriend, and a little brother she protected fiercely. Until the day a violent stranger changed the fate of her family forever.

Years later, still unable to live down the guilt surrounding what happened to her brother, Chris, and now with a child of her own to protect, Katie struggles to separate the real threats from the imagined. Then she gets the phone call: Chris has gone missing and needs his big sister once more.

Meanwhile, Detective Laurence Page is facing a particularly gruesome crime. A distinguished professor of fate and free will has been brutally murdered just hours after firing his staff. All the leads point back to two old cases: the gruesome attack on teenager Christopher Shaw, and the despicable crimes of a notorious serial killer who, legend had it, could see the future.

Difficult to get in to

This was my first title by this author and I have to say it wasn’t easy to follow. That’s not to say it wasn’t an ok story, I wanted to know how it ended, but at times I found it to be very confusing. Maybe that’s just me but this one didn’t grip me.

Felt incomplete

someone else mentioned this, but I'm going to echo it. I've really enjoyed this authors others works so I was excited to get into this. the story premise was interesting, but felt a little rushed and like there were things missing. the whole story felt like it should have been at least a couple hours longer so you could get a better sense of everything/all the characters. and the constant switching back and forth between characters first and last names made it kinda hard to follow. overall it was fine, but I hope his next work will be more flushed out like his previous books.
