The Stroke of Winter audiobook by Wendy Webb

As the winter wind whispered outside my window, I found myself immersed in the captivating world of The Stroke of Winter audiobook by Wendy Webb. Nestled under a cozy blanket on a lazy Sunday afternoon, with a cup of hot cocoa in hand, I embarked on a journey alongside Tess Bell, a woman seeking purpose and rejuvenation in her life.

Wendy Webb delicately weaves a tale that begins slowly, mirroring Tess’s own sense of stagnation. However, as the story unfolds, layers of mystery and intrigue unravel before the listener’s ears. Xe Sands’ narration effortlessly guides us through Tess’s discovery of an old studio within her family home, filled with enigmatic paintings by her grandfather, Sebastian Bell.

The eerie allure of these hidden paintings hints at dark secrets and untold stories, drawing Tess deeper into a web of mystery and danger. As she delves into her family’s past, each revelation brings her closer to uncovering the truth behind the enigmatic artworks and the ominous scratching at the door.

Webb masterfully blends suspense with elements of history, creating a narrative that keeps you on edge and craving more. Just like in Webb’s other works such as The Vanishing and Daughters of the Lake, The Stroke of Winter promises an enthralling experience that will leave you spellbound till the very end.
