Summary
Master of unsettling suspense Jen Williams is back with another chilling, dark listen that will draw fans into a gruesome and atmospheric nightmare
Macabre murders plague a rural town as a scam-artist psychic races to find the answers in this haunting thriller from award-winning author Jen Williams, perfect for fans of C.J. Tudor and Alex North.
'I was absolutely blown away … I could almost feel myself shivering in the shadow of Red Rigg Fell' James Oswald
'Nonstop plotting, richly drawn characters and a masterful touch … Fantastic—in every sense of the word!' Jeffery Deaver
'The perfect combination of a twisty thriller and a classic horror tale … Jen Williams is at the top of her game' Alex Finlay
As a child, Ashley Whitelam was haunted by ghostly figures no one else could see. Silent and watchful, these Heedful Ones followed her wherever she went. She hasn’t seen them for eighteen years, not since that fateful night at Red Rigg House.
But now they’re back, and they’re trying to tell her something.
Children start to disappear across the Lake District and Ashley becomes involved in the investigation, eager for free publicity to promote her work as a psychic. She never expected the collaboration to bear fruit, but when she discovers the body of one of the missing children, everything changes.
The police are convinced that she’s involved with the killings, and the press are hounding her for answers. Desperate to clear her name, she works with true crime podcaster, Freddie Miller, to investigate. As they look deeper into the disappearances, Ashley must dig into the demons of her past, before the nightmare in the present comes for her, too.

Outstanding work
Every now and then an Audiobook really stands out. The Hunted, the encyclopaedia of Faeries, Uprooted, the Twyford Code and more and this book is in good company. The flawed heroine and looming darkness, annoying relatives and ghostly presences. It’s a great mix, well told and satisfyingly concluded. Highly recommended.

Gripping, pacy and original
Really enjoyed the narrator’s performance of this thrilling supernatural tale. Plenty of twists and turns and I loved the original premise.
