Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Gemma Whelan’s narrations are always a highlight, and her performance in 'The Retreat' is no exception. Her subtle changes in tone and pace perfectly complement Sarah Pearse's writing, enhancing every scene with layers of tension and intrigue. The island setting itself becomes a character, as it alternates between serene beauty and eerie atmosphere. However, the pacing can sometimes feel rushed during intense moments, slightly disrupting the flow. Overall, 'The Retreat' is a compelling listen that will keep you guessing until the last page—or in this case, audio file.
