About this listen
Random House presents the audiobook edition of Panic Room by Robert Goddard, read by Hollie Taylor and John Sackville.
Sometimes the danger is on the inside . . .
High on a Cornish cliff sits a vast uninhabited mansion. Uninhabited except for Blake, a young woman of dubious background, secretive and alone, currently acting as housesitter.
The house has a panic room. Cunningly concealed, steel lined, impregnable – and apparently closed from within. Even Blake doesn’t know it’s there. She’s too busy being on the run from life, from a story she thinks she’s escaped.
But her remote existence is going to be invaded when people come looking for the house’s owner, missing rogue pharma entrepreneur, Jack Harkness. Suddenly the whole world wants to know where his money has gone. Soon people are going to come knocking on the door, people with motives and secrets of their own, who will be asking Blake the sort of questions she can’t – or won’t – want to answer.
And will the panic room ever give up its secrets?
PANIC ROOM is Robert Goddard at his nerve-shredding best. A sliver of a mystery kicks off a juggernaut of a thriller. Layers of secrets, half truths and lies must be peeled back to reveal what really lies within.

Sadly the entertainment value is greatly reduced by the performance and this is very much an audiobook of two halves. A great interpretation of the male character by John Sackville, easy, credible and very engaging to listen to but this leaves us with Blake!!! I assume she is meant to be an appealing independent, stubborn and free spirited character but ends up interpreted as a shrill, demanding and belligerent fishwife with a totally intolerable sense of entitlement to having all her questions answered. Her male voices and foreign accents were even worse. Not a chance for the listener to even try to see their points of view when they were presented in that manner. Personally I couldn’t wait for her chapters to be over and return to Jack’s narrative. I only listened to the end as I was keen to find out ‘the big secret’ and I will listen to one more Robert Goddard to give him a fair try but will make sure to pick one with the right narrator!
