The Fire Child

By: S.K. Tremayne

Narrated by: Imogen Church, Peter Noble

THE PERFECT HUSBAND. THE PERFECT STEPSON. THE PERFECT LIE?

"Tremayne...does a terrific job of building suspense until events reach their climax in the midst of a violent storm." -- Library Journal

When Rachel marries dark, handsome David, everything seems to fall into place. Swept from single life in London to the beautiful Carnhallow House in Cornwall, she gains wealth, love, and an affectionate stepson, Jamie.

But then Jamie's behavior changes, and Rachel's perfect life begins to unravel. He makes disturbing predictions, claiming to be haunted by the specter of his late mother - David's previous wife. Is this Jamie's way of punishing Rachel, or is he far more traumatized than she thought?

As Rachel starts digging into the past, she begins to grow suspicious of her husband. Why is he so reluctant to discuss Jamie's outbursts? And what exactly happened to cause his ex-wife's untimely death, less than two years ago? As summer slips away and December looms, Rachel begins to fear there might be truth in Jamie's words:

"You will be dead by Christmas."

PRAISE FOR THE ICE TWINS

"The Ice Twins has grip, pace and bags of atmosphere... It also has one of the cleverest endings of recent thrillers."
--- Sunday Times (UK)

"A tense psychological thriller that builds with every page."
--- The Sunday Post (UK)

I loved the book

I loved the book, it really did scare me. I was listening to the book alone in the house and it made me hear voices and imagine things.
One thing I didn't like was the other guy's performance, he gave me the idea that he was forced into this and he didn't want to read, but Imogen was amazing as always.

Excellent Narration...somewhat good story

This book was a good read. Imogen Church is an excellent narrator. If it weren't for her this book would be boring. The story was OK but not great. It was still worth the read though.

twists and turns

loved this book. there were twists and turns until the very end! a definite read

Wonderful story.

Couldn't stop listening. Never could have guessed the ending. Will look for more books by this author.

Love Stories Set in Old Creepy Houses.

This book was performed well and the characters were interesting. The authors personal history with the mines is the most intriguing part. The end kinda drags out, then finally comes around to the point of the mystery. Overall it was good.
