Download Kept in the Dark Audiobook

" loved it. whizzed through it, totally compelling. greenwich, suburbia and the thames all beautifully realised. best novel i've read since AD Miller's Snowdrops. "

" What an odd, disturbing, surprising and well written story. Totally caught me off guard. "

" If it weren't for the great endorsements on this book from authors I admire I would not have picked it up. Definitely a page turner, but the characters were flat and the story would have worked much better if I had any sympathy at all for Sonia. "

" The best book of the year so far for me - i finished it in half a day. "

" Wow, this book was very unsettling and creepy..I did not get the ending. Help please..I do not want to give away the ending..very weird. "

" Wow, this is a terrific read. A psychological thriller, the narrative slowly and gently unfolds. The writing is precise and assured and I felt in good hands, even though the subject matter, a middle aged woman who abducts a teenage boy, is something that would usually make me feel uncomfortable. Sonia, the abductor, though clearly disturbed by events in her past, is sympathetically portrayed, and all the characters are believable. The denouement made me to gasp and I didn't see it coming at all, but when it came I couldn't help feeling "of course"! It's set by the river at Greenwich and the magnificance and menace of the Thames on that stretch is brilliantly evoked, and Ms Hancock effectively captures the spirit of the place in her descriptions of Greenwich itself. More please! "

" A brilliant read. Kept me captive throughout. Despite her obviously deranged actions, one finds herself relating to Sonia. Very well written. "

" Got 100 pages in and stopped, didn't like it at all. A bit disturbing and slow. "

" Just a stretch too far for me. "

" Different approach than I've read before. Family secrets/psychological fiction. Not hard to put down. Just ok. "

" An ok holiday read "

" Really enjoyed this, totally gripping. "

" I really liked this book. It was very mysterious and I was shocked to find out the actual relationship between Sonia and Seb at the end. Definitely unexpected and quite a captivating book. "

" An excellent book- I really enjoyed this book! "

" Reminded me of another book but cannot name it. The protagonist though is a woman so a different perspective than would expect. It's a cliche but I could not put it down. I did not expect the twist at all. "

" Those that liked Gone Girl expecting this to be similar, likely won't care for it. For those of us who found Gone Girl to be contrived, over the top, and easy to figure out - Kept in the Dark is a great find indeed. "

" I'm not really sure how I feel about this book.. "

" Quite a haunting book with disturbing undertones. Was interested to see where it was going but found the ending in satisfactory. "

" Didnt like this book. Not sure if it is because it is not my preferred genre but I thought it very far fetched. The story unfolded slowly and was readable however I felt the storyline unbelievable. "

" Wow. I was not expecting it to end like that. I had a hard time reading it. It felt like it went on forever but it wasn't too bad "

" I could not out this book down. It just flowed so nicely and I absolutely did not see the twist at the end coming. Would recommend it to all lovers of crime/psychological thriller. Reads like Liz Jensen and Rosamund Lupton. "

" Tideline is a little too long for me but this book has it's moments. A kind off middle-class 'Misery' - elegant 44 year old Sonia locks up teenage Jez in her river house on the Thames. Psychological motives are revealed as the past and present comes together for the novel's climax. "

" Called timeline. Didn't finish. Judith p chose "

" Different although I probably wouldn't refer it..... "
