Story
In the “compellingˮand “pitch perfectˮ follow-up to Tana French’s runaway best seller In the Woods, Cassie Maddox has transferred out of the Dublin Murder Squad - until an urgent telephone call brings her back to an eerie crime scene. The victim looks exactly like Cassie and carries ID identifying herself as Alexandra Madison, an alias Cassie once used as an undercover cop. Suddenly, Cassie is back undercover, to find out not only who killed this young woman, but, more importantly, who she was.

Extraordinary narration
Reviewed: 05-06-22
I intended to listen to this only in the car. Owned the paperback. But the narrator’s voice, cadence, adaptability was just too good. Ended up listening ti the whole thing because the narration seemed to capture the characters better than my imagination could.

Worthwhile, imaginative, effecting, eye-opening book. Have read it before, but on my second round, listened to it narrated by Dominic Hoffman. His contribution to fleshing-out each main character, regional dialect, his use of voice was profound. Thank you, Mr Hoffman.

Story
Toby Stephens and Juliet Aubrey star in a BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation of Wilkie Collins’ chilling Gothic drama. A lonely stretch of road on Hampstead Heath is the venue for Walter Hartright’s midnight first encounter with a mysteriously distressed figure in white. As he helps the woman to escape from unnamed pursuers, he has little understanding of the way she will affect his future. At Limmeridge House in Cumberland, Walter meets and falls in love with Laura, who strangely resembles the woman in white.

Superb acting. A fine adaptation of a fine novel. Well worth listening to even if you read the novel in college.
