Summary
Abridged edition, read by David Tennant (Doctor Who, Broadchurch)
A family Christmas, a blizzard, and a deadly virus let loose. Filled with startling twists, Whiteout is the ultimate knife-edge drama from bestselling author Ken Follett.
A Family Reunited
As a blizzard descends from the north on Christmas Eve, several people converge on a remote family estate in Scotland. Stanley Oxenford, director of a pharmaceutical research company, has everything riding on a drug he is developing to fight a lethal virus.
A Brewing Storm
Several others are interested in his success too: his children, at home for Christmas with their offspring, have their eyes on the money he will make; Toni Gallo, forced to resign from the police department in disgrace, is betting her career on keeping the drug safe; and a local television reporter, determined to move up, has sniffed the story, even if he has to bend the facts to tell it.
A House Under Siege
A sinister gang spots an opportunity to use one of Stanley’s children against him and steal the virus. As everyone takes shelter, it becomes apparent that being inside the house may be more dangerous than the storm outside, especially when a lethal virus might be on the loose...

Very average
Storyline and writing were very average and predictable, only made interesting by David Tenant's excellent narration.

Fantastic
I was there with them every step of the way, activated by what was going to happen next. Didn't want to stop listening when I turned off the engine on my way to work. David Tenant was excellent.

Excellent suspense story
I was kept awake half the night, just to see how it ended. David Tennant was an excellent narrator for a story predominately based in Scotland.

Good Read
What did you like most about Whiteout?
Did not know what to expect. Unfortunately I only had the abridged version and wished I had had the whole story.
Really enjoyed this book as I have listened to several others from the same author.
Highly recommended with all the twists with the characters.
What about David Tennant’s performance did you like?
Great accent and he did all the voices very convincingly

Perfect short thriller
David Tennant reads this taut thriller, replete with cliff hanger tropes and baddies rising from the seeming dead, with consummate ease. Very entertaining.

Thrilling
What a fantastic story with many twists and turns along the way. The characters are brought to life by the delightful narration of David Tennant, and I found myself willing them to succeed. I normally avoid abridged versions of audiobooks, but this one works well, without feeling as if I had missed anything important. I would highly recommend this book.
