About this listen

J.A. Baker is the best-selling author of multiple thrillers, including Undercurrent, The Uninvited, Her Dark Retreat and The Other Mother. The Cleansing is a gripping psychological thriller which will appeal to fans of authors like Shalini Boland, K.L. Slater and Rachel Abbott.

A village shrouded in mystery. Secrets buried deep....

When Ray moves to a new house in the village of Whitchurch, he leaves behind a relationship and a luxury apartment in search of a better life in the countryside. However, he soon realises that sleepy Whitchurch also has its own fair share of problems. Last year, a woman’s body was discovered in the woods nearby. The killer was never caught.

Soon, suspicious things start to happen. Threatening letters are sent, cars are vandalised and headstones are desecrated. But who is responsible for these acts and why? As the tension in the village builds, Ray begins to feel the pressure. Someone is out to cause trouble, and that someone might be closer to Ray than he ever imagined.

I prefer J A Baker's protagonists to be male!

This is the third J A Baker novel that I've listened to, and it's the best, hands down! I prefer her protagonists to be male, because they don't swoon, gag, and vomit throughout the stories like the females did in The Uninvited and The Other Mother. At least, this one didn't. The narrator was superb! The storyline and characters were interesting. I recommend giving this one a listen! 👍🏼👍🏼

Predictable

No mystery as to who the perpetrator was. I finished it hoping for a surprise ending. Didn’t come
