Publisher's Summary

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Down to the Woods by M. J. Arlidge.

There is a sickness in the forest. First, it was the wild horses. Now it's innocent men and women, hunted down and murdered by a faceless figure. Lost in the darkness, they try to flee, they try to hide. In desperation, they call out for help. But there is no-one to hear their cries here....

DI Helen Grace must face down a new nightmare. The arrow-ridden victims hang from the New Forest's ancient oaks, like pieces of strange fruit. Why are helpless holidaymakers being targeted in peak camping season? And what do their murders signify? Is a psychopath stalking the forest? Is there an occult element to the killings? Could the murders even be an offering to the forest itself? Helen must walk into the darkness to discover the truth behind her most challenging, most macabre case yet.

Great continuation for Helen Grace

Really appreciated the length and pull of this Helen Grace novel. The story was well done, lots of turns to keep you guessing, and a back to normal detective work after everything Helen goes through the past few books. The narrator switching up after being the same for so many books was a bit jarring at first but she easily slotted in after about an hour. I did miss some of the characters voices that I’ve gotten to know over the past few months of continuous listening (like Charlie and Amelia) but this narrator did a great job regardless.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
