About this listen

On the Coral Coast of Western Australia, solo traveller Katy is on a mission to find her free-spirited sister, Phoebe, who disappeared along the same route a year ago. But as she drives her campervan further into the wild north, Katy realizes she's not as alone as she'd first believed. Soon she is pulled into a complicated web of secrets, lies, myths and stories that force her to question everything she thought she knew about her sister.

In this nerve-shredding outback thriller, our obsessions with freedom and beauty collide with our fear of what lies in the wilderness, and the truth behind Phoebe's disappearance proves stranger and darker than Katy could ever have guessed...

A good book, that narrowly missed excellence but was amplified with an excellent performance!

Anna Downes’ Red River Road is a beguiling slow-burn thriller that delights in its subversion of well-trodden genre tropes while simultaneously grappling with a narrative that struggles to deliver on its tantalizing promises. With alternating chapters that plunge us into the minds of its diverse and compelling cast, the novel skillfully weaves multiple perspectives, creating a multifaceted tapestry of human experience and emotion.

The audiobook is absolutely First Class — perhaps the best female-read audiobook I’ve listened too yet. (Apart from one minor issue with pronunciation of nauseas, it’s naw-shus not nor-zee-us 😊)

Superb!

Brilliantly written and perfectly textured with twists and turns, this is a ripping story based on cautionary tales that takes the reader on unexpected roads. All of this complexity required the best narration which indeed it has.
I’ll be eagerly following everything by author Anna Downes and narrator Withington Maddy from now on!

A thrilling story

I loved the twists and turns in the story, and how it kept you guessing what could possibly happen next? The different characters telling their side was an interesting part of the story too. I very much enjoyed listening to this thriller it kept me wanting to listen to more and putting off what I was supposed to be doing in the real world!

Story and location both star!

This story has so many unexpected turns and the locations star as much as the plot. It would make a great film.
