Heart breaking, stomach clenching but so worth it!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Absolutely! I already have. Its a brilliantly written novel that is worth all it gives.

What did you like best about this story?

The narration and the story come together to provide an explosive listen.

What does Ally Murphy bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

Ally Murphys' narration coupled together with this breathtaking, heart breaking highly emotive story comes together to provide and explosive listen.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

If i could i would. It really did put you through the wringer emotionally so perhaps the break did me more good than i thought.

Any additional comments?

Such a fantastic listen. I'd really like to listen to more from the duo of Ally Murphys' narration and Betsy Reavleys storytelling. A winning combination.

Oh my good God

I haven't read anything by this author before, but the reviews were good ( yes people, honest reviews do matter and do influence 'risk' taking with a new author- so be fair). I was captivated from the start by Hopes pure voice and riveted from there to the end. Ally Murphy narrated superbly, so realistic and accurate in tone and expression. I could go on but it really would spoil it for future readers if I say too much about the plot. I'm a mother and this capture parental feelings so perfectly. Wow. I rarely say that these days about my reads- I'm moved and now I'm going to hug my boy just a bit harder tonight.

Horribly good book

A well written, terrifying story, told in a very good way.
I really enjoyed listening to it, even though it was very emotional.

Compelling and chilling.

Not an easy listen, but wonderfully written. Completely different to the Opticians Wife, and in my opinion an even better book.

Hauntingly Clever

What made the experience of listening to Frailty the most enjoyable?

The narration, and pace of the story was extremely well written/read. It kept me captivated and I could sense the dread and fear of what Libby and Dan were going through.

What about Ally Murphy’s performance did you like?

Her voice, and the change over of characters were extremely smooth. To pull off talking as a child, worked and was beautifully haunting.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Yes, but I don't want to give spoilers, but Hope's Chapters were well written, without being sensationalised.

Any additional comments?

Frailty is an emotive read, that captures family life when a child goes missing and how devastating it is.

Heart thudding

This book was amazing then listening to it was heart thudding. Even though I knew what was coming I couldn't not be pulled in.
The story of this little girl being taken & her parents side of it all will pull at heart & gut strings. But! It's worth listening to, it will stop you in your tracks, it did to me. I have some audio books as background but thankfully a few I need to really listen to, this was 1 of those. In my top 3 of audio books.
Heart thudding thriller that will torment you but so worth it!

A difficult read

As always..an incredibly well written book. It’s a tough read, I had to skip through some of the more gory scenes for my own sake but that didn’t take away from the rest of the story.
