Summary
If you go down to the woods today, you’re in for a big surprise....
Kitty Marchland has always known that her family isn't like others. But when her father uproots them to a remote cottage in the woods, she realises that her parents are keeping secrets from her - secrets that could unravel everything.
Years later, Kitty starts to question what really happened out in the forest. When the police revisit a suspicious death, she must examine her most painful memories - and this time, there’s nowhere to hide....
A gripping and suspenseful thriller that will captivate you from first to last minute. Perfect for fans of Ruth Ware and Cass Green.
Critic reviews
"To open B P Walter’s exceptional new thriller is to step through a cellar door: the air cools, your vision dims...and just a few steps later, you’re tiptoeing across the floor, desperate to switch on a torch - yet frightened of what the light might reveal. Attention, readers of Lucy Foley and Lisa Gardner: Hold Your Breath is your next favourite read." (A.J. Finn, author of The Woman in the Window)
"A smart thriller." (Gillian McAllister)

Gripping tale
I really enjoyed this. Auther is a wordsmith, who tells a good tale. Excellent narration.

Don't quite see the point of the story
It was a bit slow, really, and because most of it was told from the POV of a 10 yo girl, just a bit juvenile. The writing and narration itself was OK. I just thought the story lacked any sort of purpose. I'm still not entirely sure what I'm supposed to have got out of it. I listened to most of it at triple speed because nothing much happened for large sections. I'm a fan of this author, and then successfully managed to build up a sense of impending dread, but nothing really happened with it. The story just sort of fizzled.

Stupid Version of "The Exorcist"
I rooted for zero characters in this book, and I wish "the devil" had gotten them all. Embarrassing waste of time.
