Summary

Penguin presents the unabridged downloadable audiobook edition of The Woman in the Wood by Lesley Pearse, read by Rosie Jones.

Fifteen-year-old Maisy Mitcham and her twin brother Duncan watch their mother being sent away one night in 1960.

The twins are sent to their grandmother's country house, Nightingales. Cold and distant, she leaves them to their own devices, to explore and to grow. That is until the day Duncan doesn't come home from the woods.

With their grandmother seeming to have little interest in her grandson's disappearance, and the police soon giving up hope, it is left to Maisy to discover the truth. And she will start with Grace Deville. A woman who lives alone in the wood, about whom rumours abound . . .

I thoroughly enjoyed this one from Lesley Pearce. I’ve read quite a few of hers now but this one was slightly different from the rest. It was such easy listening with a few twists. The narrator was brilliant who gave each character life.
