The bestselling husband-and-wife writing team Nicci French introduces a new series of psychological thrillers featuring insightful and inquisitive London-based psychotherapist Frieda Klein. The intrigue of a long-iced-over case is delivered by Beth Chalmers. For months, the disappearance of 5-year-old Matthew Farraday dominated the news, but as the years passed, interest waned. Now, a patient of Klein’s imparts knowledge and behavior that may help authorities solve the case, and this development pairs Klein with an intriguing police investigator. Chalmers creates memorable characters with a clipped British accent and deftly navigates the dark twists of the plot like the ancient rivers that inhabit Klein’s dreams. Not to be missed, this novel fully inhabits the listener’s imagination and lingers for days. R.O. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2012]
