About this listen

A spell-binding mystery, packed with suspense....

During the investigation into the death of a woman on a Liverpool housing estate, DI Tara Grogan encounters Callum, a local recluse who claims to have information.

But he won't help her unless she, in turn, helps him find out the truth about the suspicious death of his wife and child.

Tara is ready to dismiss his outlandish theories and ravings, until she discovers that, like her, he was a student at Latimer College, Oxford. A place which she has very much buried in the past.

Desperate to move forward in her case and curiosity piqued, Tara accepts, but as she delves deeper into the man's past, it becomes obvious he hasn't been honest with her.

And when another death is linked to Callum, Tara is confronted by the danger that her own demons have led her to trust the wrong person again.

Loved how the story developed slowly and we got to know the characters

Also enjoyed the random ‘NI sayings’ which popped out now and again

Narration could have been a bit more ‘energetic’

Great story

Great storyline. Lots of mystery and intrigue. A real twist at the end. Narrator was very good, keeping the story flowing well.

Good

An easy listen with plenty of twists and turns. I found the characterisation of Tara as a strong, brave, fiercely intelligent and determined detective who would fall for a suspect slightly hard to believe, but an enjoyable listen nonetheless!

Intriguing read full of twists and turns

I persevered with this book but the narration was really awful. The dreadful narrator overtook the storyline and it really didn't improve. Which is a shame as the story had the bones of a really good listen with a better narrator. I will not listen to a single book with this narrator again

Terrible narration spoilt story
