About this listen

Photographer Isla Wilson is thrilled she's landed her dream job, but the clients who hired her are getting stranger by the day.

It sounded so perfect—a month's assignment at the lush Scottish Highlands property of architect Alban McGregor, and his wife, Jessica.

But in the woods, there's a playhouse with a chilling history.

Two years ago, the McGregors' daughter Elodie was abducted and then died in that playhouse. The townspeople insist her abductor had to be a stranger in their town. Alban refuses to knock the playhouse down, even keeping a picture of it on his wall.

Sensing the McGregors and townspeople are keeping terrible secrets, Isla plans to discover the truth.

But the closer Isla comes to uncovering answers, the more the danger mounts. And with a dense cover of snow now blanketing the town, all chance of escape might already be gone.

ANNI TAYLOR lives on The Central Coast, north of Sydney, Australia, with her partner and four boys. Her thriller novels include The Game You Played, Birds in Flight and Poison Orchids.

If you’ve ever wondered what goes to make up a Northern Irish accent, apparently if you have an Australian trying to do a Scottish accent, that’s what you get! This is a very long book which takes a long time over becoming increasingly unbelievable, and the mispronunciations of place names and phrases - hence the title - becomes annoying. They are not as annoying as the relentless coincidences which endlessly appear, of the frankly laughable premise at the end, which I won’t give away but is so unlikely that it makes a mockery of the fairly gruelling subject matter which takes up the first part of the book. I’m a bit tired of the amnesia plot device as it is, and this book slowly stretches it to beyond breaking point. It’s not badly written, and if you like long books with a lot of twists you’ll want to read to the end, but you also won’t miss much if you can’t face it.

An exciting thriller totally ruined by a dreadful imitation of a Scottish accent. If the story hadn't been so engaging with it's twists and turns I would have given up long before the end as the bad accent and mispronounciations made me more and more irritated and angry as the story unfolded. Very much worth a listen if you can bear the bad attempt at a Scottish accent.

worst Scottish Accent Ever

This is a very engaging story line and lots of shocks along the way but nothing felt forced about them. I know some people found the Scottish accents hard to listen to but I got used to it as she went on. Recommend.

Great twists and turns.
