Story
Newlyweds Lina and Cain don’t make it out to their property on gorgeous Lake Tarawera as often as they’d like, so when Cain suggests they rent the house out to vacationers, Lina reluctantly agrees. While the home has been in her family for generations, they could use the extra money. And at first, Lina is amazed at how quickly guests line up, and at how much they’re willing to pay. But both Lina and Cain have been keeping secrets, secrets that won’t be put off by fresh paint or a new alarm system. And someone has been watching them.

When the call came it seemed like the answer to my prayers. My career as a voice actor had been over for months and me and my little girl Scarlet were living back at my mum’s place. I felt like a failure professionally—and with Scarlet having problems at school, as a parent as well. So, when I was asked to narrate a new book by disappeared novelist Philippa Roberts I jumped at the chance, even if it meant leaving Scarlet with my ex, Hugo, for a few weeks. Hugo, with his perfect new home and his perfect new girlfriend Saskia. But this isn’t a dream come true. It’s a nightmare.

Critic reviews
"Pomare captivates in this haunting novel, In The Clearing. I was utterly gripped with the stories of Amy and Freya from start to finish, and fascinated by the unexpected way the two came together. Thrilling, atmospheric and with twists abounding, this book held me in its spell long after the final page. A sure-fire bestseller." (Sally Hepworth, best-selling author of The Mother-in-Law)
"A pared-back firecracker where the danger is clear and present - even if its exact shape remains opaque until the book's climax and final gasp-inducing twist." (Books & Publishing, Australia)
"A dark, chilling, atmospheric thriller populated with mysterious and wonderfully flawed characters." (Christian White, author of The Nowhere Child)

Story
As the third wave of the virus hits, all inhabitants of Melbourne are given until 8pm to get to their homes. Wherever they are when the curfew hits, they must live for four weeks and stay within a 5km radius. When Lou’s son Samuel doesn’t arrive home by nightfall she begins to panic. He doesn’t answer his phone. He doesn’t message. His social media channels are inactive. Lou is out of her mind with worry, but she can’t go to the police, because she has secrets of her own. Secrets that Samuel just can’t find out about. Lou must find her son herself and bring him home.

amazing!
i have now listened to all 3 of J.P.'s books and they are all completely incredible. twists and turns all the way until the very last sentence! i cant say any more without giving anything away (just like all of my other reviews for his books), but if you like suspense thrillers, i very highly recommend this author! now that i finished this book, i am about to listen to his book Tell Me Lies again, because it was my favorite and i feel that knowing the end will make me view the situations differently. i hope to find other new authors soon who write this way as well.

Great listen, beginning to end!
I loved all the twists and turns in this book. Some I saw coming and others took me completely by surprise! This is a great listen with wonderful narration!

Interesting and well written but
Interesting and well written, but I couldn’t get into the story the way I did with Tell Me Lies. That being said, check Tell Me Lies out by same author. Probably my favorite listen on Audible so far. Brilliant. This one was fine, but not as good for me.

I love this author! Everything I’ve read by them is creepy.
I’m going to warn you that if you start reading this, it may be difficult to stop and do other things. I have really struggled with this author, because I do not have time to read these books right now and I can. not. stop. I have read two in one week during finals and am definitely moving to whatever else is available after I’m done writing this.
The real magic of the suspense from this author is the use of scenarios that could really happen, therefore are completely terrifying. They also use this really comprehensive understanding of psychology behind the main character’s motives.
One other note is that I thought they were female because of the way they write women, and that’s a massive compliment in my opinion. The women are strong and vulnerable, and are motivated by things other than romance.

Nearly passed this one up…
As soon as I read that it was about cults, I gave my normal 5-calorie eye roll and nearly scrolled on by. I’m so glad I didn’t. The plot is super tight. Great character development that didn’t drag. I liked it so much I’m going to listen to it again… now 😊

Does one every truly escape a cult?
I loved this book. it was twisty but not overly predictable. I cannot properly review this without spoilers. this was a great listen, one of my favorite books I have read so far this year. bravo.

Excellent story with and excellent end
I'm picky when it comes to stories, especially the ending. So often the end to an otherwise great story is cheesy. They often feel the need to have a character give a long speech explaining every detail to every question. This story is intriguing until the very last word. It toes together the mysteries naturally without absurd speeches. It is filled with twists and turns and intrigue. it's really good. It's well worth the listen.

Well written but conflicted
I loved the way this book was written with two stories going on at once that collide toward the end. The narrator was the best I have heard in an audible book. My lower rating is due to the in depth details in first person for child abuse both physically and sexually. I can understand the authors intentions but it was almost the entire book about abuse details. I ended up fast forwarding through quite a bit. I felt it was a bit demented in that sense. While I listened to the end I would have to say I would never get next book by this author. I love suspense but not when it involves so much sadistic details.
