The Ice Twins

A Novel

By: S.K. Tremayne

Narrated by: Penelope Rawlins, Sandra Duncan, Angus King

In the tradition of The Girl on the Train comes the UK bestseller The Ice Twins, a terrifying psychological thriller with a twisting plot worthy of Gillian Flynn.

One of Sarah's daughters died. But can she be sure which one?

A year after one of their identical twin daughters, Lydia, dies in an accident, Angus and Sarah Moorcroft move to the tiny Scottish island Angus inherited from his grandmother, hoping to put together the pieces of their shattered lives.

But when their surviving daughter, Kirstie, claims they have mistaken her identity--that she, in fact, is Lydia--their world comes crashing down once again.

As winter encroaches, Angus is forced to travel away from the island for work, Sarah is feeling isolated, and Kirstie (or is it Lydia?) is growing more disturbed. When a violent storm leaves Sarah and her daughter stranded, they are forced to confront what really happened on that fateful day.

Kept wondering how it would end

Great story. There were many ways it could have turned out. Different than the usual murder mysteries. Glad I bought the book

Wonderful

This story captivated me from the very beginning. We are never really sure, until the very end exactly what is going on. the descriptions of the Hebrides in winter will chill you on a hot summer day.

Great story

The story is really good! I kept finding chores to do so that I could keep listening to the book without a lot of guilt. The writing itself is excellent and I will be looking for other books by "Tremayne".

The narrators are exceptional, particularly Penny Rawlins. Her interpretations of the twin girls was so lovely and endearing I found I was hoping for more dialogue from the twins. The only negative comment I have is that the sound quality was a bit poor. Of course that is not a reflection on the book itself nor on the author & narrators. There is a lot of fuzz in the background of the audio which was distracting enough for me that I had to rewind several times. That type of noise is not usually heard in audiobooks.

Interesting Story--Too Much Rumination

This book really only becomes chilling at the very end. Otherwise, it's a story about miscommunication that makes the reader want to shriek to the protagonists, "Just say what you mean!" None of the main characters is especially sypathetic except the dog.
The pace can be maddeningly glacial, largely because the central character spends an enormous amount of time paraphrasing her thoughts.
The narration is good.

Always too many questions

This author has a style of writing where her characters are always among themselves questions. It is annoying and to me a weak technique by the author. Don't think I will read another of her books. I also get very annoyed with her characters.
