About this listen
A chilling new thriller from Bernard Taylor, the award-winning author of The Godsend and Sweetheart, Sweetheart
Once a celebrated singer, Rosemary Paul is now an embittered woman in her 60s, forgotten by nearly everyone but her assistant, Carrie Markham, who idolizes her and panders to her every need. When Rosemary receives the unexpected news that her record company is dusting off one of her albums for a reissue, the old hunger for fame and success is reignited, and with Carrie's help she begins to plan her big comeback. But as preparations commence, long buried secrets begin to resurface, and Rosemary's quest for fame at any price will lead to murder....
The new novel by Bernard Taylor, the bestselling author of The Godsend and Mother's Boys, The Comeback is a psychological thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat with a plot whose twists and turns will keep you guessing until the final chapter.

The author writes in clear, unfussy prose and skilfully gradually increases the pace and suspense throughout the novel. His text is always tight and lucid, which ensures that even though the book covers a large canvas of time and space, and even though there are some sudden and seismic plot shifts, the listener is never confused or lost.
My only minor criticism of the book is that the build up to the first moment of horror is maybe a little overlong. In fact, for the first few chapters I did find myself wondering why this book was classified as horror. But I now realise that such a slow build up was necessary to contrast with the later madness that follows when the you-know-what hits the fan.
The narrator was an absolutely perfect fit for this novel. The voices she used for the two protagonists really brought these characters to life. She captured and conveyed the ever-changing mood and atmosphere of the story, and her breathless reading of the last chapter was perfect for the totally bonkers yet fully satisfying finale of the audiobook.
In conclusion, I have no hesitation recommending this very well-written and very well-narrated audiobook to horror fans, and I will definitely check out this author and this narrator’s other works.
