Great story!

I really enjoyed listening to The Rain and often found myself giving in to one more chapter before bed! Loved it.

A gripping contemporary murder mystery

This very chilling, contemporary story, based in the Fenlands is a murder mystery involving a young family, stalked and set up by a manipulative murderer. I must admit I could not put it down as I was so enticed by the story. It is an excellent exercise in getting inside the heads of the characters and at times you just feel like you are yearning to hug the husband who is being set up and say ‘ I believe you! very well written and excellently read on audible.

The Rain

I enjoyed the story, started really good , then got a bit slow in the middle over all a good book will try other books by B.B. Thomas. Narration was perfect .

The last few chapters are a chilling ride!!

Wow!

The Rain follows Rob, Emma and their little girl Sophie.

One night when Rob arrives home to find Sophie crying and Emma missing he fears the worst.. why would she leave Sophie like this… why would she not talk to him.

When the police arrive to help find his missing wife there’s speculation maybe Emma has just runaway, unhappy with her life… but Rob can’t accept that.

I’m trying to keep this spoiler free so let’s just say an event occurs that will shake Rob to the core.

Rob spirals and starts to look deeper into his wife’s past..there’s a secret she was running from but why? And what’s it got to do with her disappearance? Why now?

As Rob tries to come to terms with recent events and taking care of his daughter he builds a great friendship with Emma’s parents and together it seems like Rob might be able to move on a little..and he even starts to make a new friend…

But soon suspicion lands on him for Emma’s disappearance and with the police scrutinising his every move some of the things he’s done don’t look good… but things aren’t right..things have been twisted..but by who? And why? It’s not looking good for Rob.

The last few chapters are a chilling ride for the reader as the author puts the pieces together for Rob and the truth revealed.

When it comes to the plot I frigging loved this, very tense and chilling with twists along the way. Towards the end you are just waiting for that truth to be revealed and it’s very much the WOW moment but if I’m honest the whole story was a WOW moment for me.

I quite enjoy and audible book but truth be told my mind wanders a lot if I’m not reading a physical book so an author actually needs to work hard to grab my attention and this story certainly did, couldn’t put it down and it even led me to enjoy some of the housework like ironing and cleaning as it was the perfect time to put the headphones in and shut off from life for a little ha.

Narration wise I felt it worked so well. There was emotion and depth to the voices which perfectly suited the tail and it certainly added to the tense theme of the tale.

Very much a 5* from me and highly recommended to anyone who enjoys an audible tale.

A Pretty Good Book

I listened and enjoyed but would say it’s just ok.. felt the male narrator sometimes made it sound like a children’s book. Plot Ok.. if you want an easy listen then this will suit
