About this listen

Myer lives on a NZ mountain farm with her border collie, chickens, sheep and her faithful horse, Mustard. She hunts and forages, and barely leaves the mountain, only venturing into town to stock up on provisions once or twice a month. It’s on one of these trips that she notices a toddler choking in a public carpark. She springs into action and saves the child, and then slips away, back up the mountain.

It’s been seven years since she fled to the edge of the world and reinvented herself, but her spontaneous act of mercy has brought her into the public eye. Which means that, despite all of Myer’s best efforts to outrun her brutal past and disappear, he will be able to find her at last...

A chilling, high-octane thriller from the bestselling author of Tell Me Lies and Trapdoor.

I enjoyed the story line.

Too short was finished before I knew it but really enjoyed it. I like the narrator.

Very different mystery

Unusual to hear a New Zealand accent for me during the reading, but it was well done and kept you on your toes once you get past the initial couple of chapters..

Another great story from Pomare

This author always delivers. The story in this case is told from the perspectives of the hunter and the hunted and makes for an absolutely nail biting experience. It features some stand out characters in Coke and T, and the author is to be commended for how complete these secondary characters are. The narration is spot on, with the accents well done.

Tense and thrilling!

Fantastic story, unexpected and so thrilling! Never miss a chance to listen to a JP POmare. I loved the way it was told, my only complaint is that it isn't longer because I could listen to these voices all day

easy listen

This was a good story in typical JP Pomare style, but it didn't have quite the unexpected twists I'd expected.
While the narration was clear & easy to listen to, the NZ accents were dreadful! They were very much slightly mangled Australian

Survival skills

I liked this book a little on the predictable side but enjoyable about a woman on the run from her past her self sufficiency and the world she lives in strongly influenced by her father’s worldview but this is her strength and where her survival skills come in when she discovers there is a contract on her life .. well narrated and engaging.

Engaging Australian Thriller From Start To Finish

An overall engaging story with a good cast of interesting and likeable characters. Easy to listen to and the narrators voice was very good to listen to. Easy to finish in one day.
