Synopsis

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Down to the Woods by M.J. Arlidge, read by Sally Scott.

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.

If you go down to the woods...... 4.5 stars Down to the Woods should come with a warning - "highly addictive". I couldn't stop reading it and it resulted in more than a few very late nights and almost sleeping through my alarm the following morning. This was only the second book I'd read in the DI Hel......more

Having already read a few books in the series of Helen Grace, I knew I was in for a treat with this book.

Goodreads review by Gary on September 25, 2018

This is the 8th book in the Helen Grace series by author MJ Arlidge. I can't believe this is already the 8th book in this series, starting with 'Eeny Meeny' four years ago and I am still enjoying it. When Melanie Walton wakes up in her tent in the New Forest she discovers that her boyfriend Tom has di......more

Goodreads review by Nigel on September 19, 2018

Briefly - Hum - I seem to be the odd one out here but having read all the series this is definitely not the best for me. In full This book is the eighth in the Helen Grace series by M J Arlidge. I've always found DI Grace a good character of real depth. In this book, after a fairly traumatic previous......more

Știe să monteze piste, te face să crezi lucruri, devii Helen Grace și tot nu reușești să ghicești ce se va întâmpla cu adevărat👀 Volumul acesta a fo......more
