Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

I devoured 'The House in the Woods' in a single, breathless listen. Simon Vance is a masterclass in narration, his ability to switch between voices and accents so seamless it's easy to forget you're listening to a single person. His performance brings a depth and complexity to each character that's truly remarkable. Dawson's plotting is tight, the twists coming fast and furious, and just when you think you've got it figured out, he pulls the rug out from under you. My only critique? The pacing could have been a touch tighter in the middle section, but that's a small quibble in an otherwise outstanding audiobook. If you're looking for a thriller that's as festive as it is frightening, look no further.
