About this listen

Now I'm in charge, the gates are my gates. The rules are my rules.

It's an incendiary moment for St Oswald's school. For the first time in its history, a headmistress is in power, the gates opening to girls.

Rebecca Buckfast has spilled blood to reach this position. Barely 40, she is just starting to reap the harvest of her ambition. As the new regime takes on the old guard, the ground shifts. And with it, the remains of a body are discovered.

But Rebecca is here to make her mark. She'll bury the past so deep it will evade even her own memory, just like she has done before.

After all...you can't keep a good woman down.

Critic reviews

"A dark world of emotional complexity and betrayal, where twist follows twist and nothing is what it seems. A masterful narrative voice, and a compulsive thriller from one of our greatest writers. I absolutely loved it." (Alex Michaelides, number one best-selling author of The Silent Patient)

"A psychological thriller you can't put down and an antiheroine you won't forget." (Harlan Coben)

"A dark and richly enjoyable novel that already feels like a classic." (Elly Griffiths)

"A dark world of emotional complexity and betrayal, where twist follows twist and nothing is what it seems." (Alex Michaelides)

I enjoyed Gentlemen and Players and its sequel immensely.
This third book was very dark and I liked it less although I am newish to audible and might have preferred to read the book. Steven Pacey was perfect, the Roy Strateley I had always imagined I wasn’t completely convinced by Alex Kingston and her accent didn’t sound to me to be completely authentic.
Having said that, the plot was clever and gripping, the characters engaging as Joanne Harris’s characters tend to be and I’m glad I finished the book.

A dark end to the trilogy

excellent

Lovely to be back in the company of Steven Pacey whose voice with its calm authority brings St Oswald’s to reality. But this time it’s King Henry’s that Joanne Harris focuses on and Alex Kingston’s troubled side of the story. It’s all well crafted and the revelations well spaced, keeping the intrigue. Books often seem to explore psychology but with little plot or spin a narrative but with a lack of character plausibility. Joanne Harris balances both.

A good read
