About this listen

Daisy-Mae is now sure she’s awake. It’s not the cutting breeze or the musty smell that has her convinced, it’s the pain. You can’t dream pain. She is being held down, something tight over her arms, her chest too.

She turns her head for a different view: a whitewashed wall, faded by time, scuffed to add to the impression of a building deserted in a hurry. But there is something in the room that looks fresh: graffiti. The letters spell out three words that are enough to have her retching again: DON’T WAKE UP. The next day Daisy-Mae’s friend also disappears.

Twenty-two years ago, New Year’s Eve. Two young women set off home from the nightclub where they worked. Their battered bodies were found five days later. The killer was never caught.

Time is running out. History is repeating itself. Detective Maddie Ives is their only chance to get out alive.

Critic reviews

"Antonia Beamish's narration takes listeners down a mind-bending rabbit hole with verve. Her proficient range delivers flawless intensity and sets the tone for the protagonist's altered reality. Is she awake--or is she dreaming?... Beamish holds listeners rapt as they come to the haunting realization that a gruesome history is about to repeat itself." (AudioFile)

Fantastic story, weird narration

A fantastic story, as all in this series have been, but why must this narrator keep changing that voices of central characters!? First Harry Blaker in the third book and now six books in Rhiannon is suddenly incredibly Welsh. Both changes have been for the worst and very jarring. Why not just leave it be!?

Listened to the whole story in a day!

Loved the story line. Very well written. My only problem with the performance was Rhiannon developing a Welsh accent! It was bad enough when Harry's voice took on a deeper voice after the first couple of books! Other than the change in voices/accents, it was a great story.

Definitely up to usual standard.

I really struggled with this book. I've read some others in the series, but just felt that this was disjointed. Narrator is tolerable, but not great. There's no real distinction between the characters. The whole thing felt like laboured, and I returned it part way through.
