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.

Good production, strong start - poor and predictable ending. Narrators were excellent but couldn’t save the weak story in the end. -:-:

Friends coming over for Christmas 🎄, unable to leave due to bad weather.Tension abounds. What happened years ago and where is Gaby? Did she met the same fate as her sister years ago?

Ok listen

Ein Fehler ist aufgetreten. Bitte versuche es in ein paar Minuten noch einmal.

Das Weihnachts-Thema ist hier irgendwie nie ein Gimmick und völlig irrelevant. Die Charaktere sind eher schlecht geschrieben und die Tatsache, dass sich alles nur um sexuelle Eskapaden dreht macht die Geschichte ziemlich langweilig.
Billie Piper war der Rettungsring, an den ich mich hier fest geklammert habe. Sie hat das sehr gut gemacht.

Naja...

It reminds me a little bit of "The Hunting Party" by Lucy Foley, but is not nearly as good as that.
It starts promising, but then concentrates almost exclusively on sexually intertwined relationships/situations within the group and not much anything else. The ending comes abruptly, leaving you with the feeling that you’ve listened to or read something like this many times before. Therefore I can recommend "The Hunting Party" by Lucy Foley.
Narator is excellent, Absolutely top.

A good story, but not an outstanding one

I loved it! I totally recommend it. A little twisted and catchy at the same time.

What a story! It had me hooked the whole time.

it is not a very long story but quite intensive. The narrator has a great gift for different voices. Sometimes she gets very excited and loud. All in all, I enjoyed the experience even though I don't think all the character's act in a very plausible way....

Intense psychothriller
