Photographer Isla Wilson is thrilled she's landed her dream job, but the clients who hired her are getting stranger by the day. It sounded so perfect—a month's assignment at the lush Scottish Highlands property of architect Alban McGregor, and his wife, Jessica. But in the woods, there's a playhouse with a chilling history. Two years ago, the McGregors' daughter Elodie was abducted and then died in that playhouse. The townspeople insist her abductor had to be a stranger in their town. Alban refuses to knock the playhouse down, even keeping a picture of it on his wall.

Great story, the book had a lot of thrilling parts where I didn’t want to stop listening. Excellent narration of the story as well. Love the Scottish and Aussie accents throughout the telling of this gripping tale.
Highly recommend as an avid listener of audiobooks, this is among the best.

Depressing, dull, only finished it as it was a book club read
Reviewed: 2023-03-18
This book never got interesting. Never captured my attention and had me wanting to drop it by the 6th chapter when it still hadn’t grabbed my attention. But I pushed on only because it was a book club read and I wanted to finish it, for that reason alone.
The school for mothers was a ridiculous concept, the fathers also held to a different standard was insulting and while I’m a mother that has had plenty of bad mothering days, I could not relate to the main character at all. I never felt connected to her or sold on any of the character development. There just wasn’t much of that anyways.
Without blowing the ending, it was disappointing and left me further upset with the time I wasted on this book. The only emotion I got was with the ending and that was less on the outcome but more so because I had wasted hours on a book that left me emotionless until the last chapter. But by then, it was too late. While I felt I should feel emotion for the main character in the end, I was more ticked off at the author for finally giving me something to connect to the main character, 19 chapters in. The emotion the author was trying to give me at that point fell short and I was so over the book by then.

This book was a psychological thriller. Great read and the dictation was well done. Worth using an audible credit on for sure, you won’t be disappointed.
