About this listen

Tis the season for secrets and suspicion.

A chilling psychological thriller with a twist that you won't see coming, narrated by Billie Piper and Avita Jay. This Audible Original, by #1 bestselling author Kathryn Croft, is perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Sarah A Denzil and K L Slater.

When Sasha receives a call from her old university friend Gabby inviting her to spend Christmas at Gabby’s remote Scottish lake house, Sasha knows she shouldn’t go.

Twelve years ago, on Christmas Eve, when Sasha and her five closest friends were celebrating the festive season, something truly horrific happened that would change the course of their friendship forever. Something that meant Sasha hasn’t spoken to any of them since that night.

But Gabby is insistent that they all get together this Christmas, to finally help her move on from the events of that night, so Sasha agrees to go.

Arriving at the sprawling house overlooking a stunning loch, Sasha quickly realises that Gabby has other reasons for getting the six friends together this Christmas. And now Sasha is forced to relive a past she’s tried hard to forget.

People had always told them their friendship wasn’t healthy. That the six of them spent far too much time together. No good would come of it, they said. How could relationships with others work when the six of them were so tightly interwoven?

When a snowstorm isolates them from the outside world, old flames are rekindled and tensions run high, and it soon becomes obvious: nothing that big can stay secret forever.

Great Story Teller

Drama in the narrators voice was great, nuances & all. The story was good too, with a bit of a twist at the end. Each character had their issues, as we all do which was quite accurate in most cases of each character. Worth a listen.

Kept me involved

Billie Piper’s narration is excellent and the story kept me awake, (I normally listen to Audible to fall asleep, so it’s a rare book that keeps me up)!

Great story, great twists

Really enjoyed this story! There was twists and turns, always keeping you guessing. The narration was fantastic, very emotive, and really made you hear all the different characters. Would recommend!

Ok for a very short story

Pretty predictable mostly because the story is short so there is time to give a good back story to the characters. Great for an afternoon gardening as a free book!
