About this listen

1974, Oxford.

Detective Briony Williams, starting a new job with the Thames Valley police in Oxford, is called to investigate the murder of a 17-year-old girl. Convinced that the girl’s murder is no ordinary domestic crime, Briony delves into the world of the supernatural when she finds a stone carved with an ancient cryptic message clutched in the victim’s hand.

The police need solid scientific evidence that will stand up in court, but in order to solve the case Briony must ally herself with a psychic girl and a druid leader. As she investigates, the danger deepens, setting her directly in the path of a killer bent on eliminating anyone getting close to the truth.

Undeterred, Briony must steer a course between the rational and the supernatural in her search for The Visitor.

Critic Reviews

'A good crime novel often prompts you to look differently at the world you thought you knew. The Visitor makes this happen.' (The Age)
'When a French au pair to twin boys is found murdered in her Oxford host family's home, Briony Williams is assigned to what proves to be no ordinary case. Soon the boys go missing, and cult-like events turn the investigation into a terrifying and dangerous endeavour. Narrator Nicki Paull delivers a full-throttle interpretation of evil men and breathes high anxiety into the characters they threaten. Her portrayal of Briony as an inspector attempting to solve her first Oxford case provides insight into a difficult assignment. Paull also provides a broad range of intriguing portrayals – from the two precocious boys and their frantic parents to shadowy murderers fulfilling their ancient, perverse beliefs.' (AudioFile Magazine)
