About this listen

Nessa Crowley's murderer has been protected by silence for 10 years.

Until a team of documentary makers decides to find out the truth.

On the day of Henry and Keelin Kinsella's wild party at their big house, a violent storm engulfed the island of Inisrun, cutting it off from the mainland. When morning broke, Nessa Crowley's lifeless body lay in the garden, her last breath silenced by the music and the thunder.

The killer couldn't have escaped Inisrun, but no one was charged with the murder. The mystery that surrounded the death of Nessa remained hidden. But the islanders knew who to blame for the crime that changed them forever.

Ten years later a documentary crew arrives, there to lift the lid off the Kinsella's carefully constructed lives, determined to find evidence that will prove Henry's guilt and Keelin's complicity in the murder of beautiful Nessa.

In this bold, brilliant, disturbing new novel, Louise O'Neill shows that deadly secrets are devastating to those who hold them close.

This book is so beautifully written with a story that is totally engrossing and keeps you guessing until the end. The characterisation is wonderful and it tackles the issues of domestic abuse and controlling relationships with such sensitivity. This multi layered masterpiece is enhanced by its narrator and totally draws you in.

Once I started this book I couldn’t stop listening.. and it deserves every award.

As the cold evenings are coming in and you are stuck at home .. this will get you through.

Exquisite and exceptional

I had high hopes for this as I have enjoyed Louise O'Neills previous books. The characters were unlikeable, the plot was thin and the narration was not good, very bad accents throughout

Disappointing

Loved the story but was so surprised by all the pronunciation mistakes in the Irish phrases, it made it sound ridiculous especially when the narrator seemed to be Irish.

Great story, disappointing Irish pronunciation
