About this listen

Small-time private investigator Ray Lovell veers between paralysis and delirium in a hospital bed. But before the accident that landed him there, he had promised to find Rose Janko. Rose was married to the charismatic son of a travelling gypsy family, Ivo Janko. When Ray starts to investigate her disappearance he's surprised that her family are so hostile towards him. The Jankos have not had an easy past. They are a clan touched by tragedy - either they are cursed, or they are hiding a terrible secret. Could it be that Rose's discovery of that secret led to her disappearance all those years ago? Soon Ray wishes that he'd never asked the question. In a novel that is totally different from Stef's extraordinary debut The Tenderness of Wolves, she shows herself once more to be a matchless storyteller.

A bit difficult to get into but worth the effort

Once I got into the book, I really enjoyed it. Surprise ending, but just about credible.

Enjoyable listen

I can’t remember much about The Tenderness of Wolves, but I can remember I liked it. I liked this too. Great performance by Dan Stevens- could listen to him read anything. An enjoyable story with a mystery and great characters. Didn’t get the twist even though looking back to clues were there. Solid listen.

Of you only download one book, make it this one!

The story is gripping, dealing sensitively and thoughtfully with the Gypsy
Community. It's told in the first person by two different characters. Like them, all the people who inhabit the story are masterfully drawn. The denoument is quite unexpected, though one can spot the clues in hindsight.
The reading by Daniel Stevens enhances the quality of the narrative. His voices are perfectly judged and performed, the pacing and delivery are perfect.
I was sorry when I came to the end.

A great listen

Any book that Dan Stevens narrates is a joy to listen to, he is by far my favourite narrator.
An intriguing storyline with a twist and characters that Dan brings to life with his portrayal of each one, with Dan you forget that you are actually listening to one man telling a story.
A good story and a great listen.

Brilliant !

This is one of those books that should not be missed and I had great difficulty unplugging myself until the end. Would probably have overlooked it except for it's recommendation. The characters, story and narrator are all excellent ! I will be looking out for Stef Penney's other books.

A book for a slow day

A slow build up. The excitement comes from the last fifth of the book. The build up is slow and almost puts you to sleep. Love intertwined with suspense. You learn about the Roma in this book. A good book of you can't sleep and need to.

Great story with excellent narration

Interesting story about an investigator asked to look into a missing girl. The story is told through the eyes of a young boy and the investigator. Narration very good, I would look for more read by him. The story was engaging from start to finish. This was a chance find, really glad I did.
