About this listen

Imagine nine women meeting. Tea and cake are on the coffee table. They’ve come together to share their love of books. They are friends. They trust each other. It’s a happy gathering. What could be more harmless? Scratch the surface and look closer.

One is lonely, one is desperate and one of them is a killer.

When the body of a woman is discovered on a Cambridge common, DCI Barrett and DI Palmer are called to investigate. But the motive behind the crime isn’t clear...and it all leads back to a book club.

As the lies, volatile friendships and tension among the group rise to the surface, DCI Barrett and DI Palmer must work out the motive and track down a cold-blooded killer. But just when they think they are on the right track, a twist in the case throws them off course....

Betsy Reavley is the best-selling author of multiple thrillers including The Optician's Wife, The Quiet Ones and Frailty. This title is an unmissable new whodunnit which will appeal to fans of authors like Cara Hunter, Rachel Abbott, Faith Martin and LJ Ross.

Critic reviews

"A deliciously Agatha Christie-style mystery that sucks you in from the first page." (Sibel Hodge)
All stars
Most relevant
There were too many main characters who seemed to get lost in the story, some very random accents and the conclusion seemed to come out of nowhere. But I had to keep listening to find out who, what, where and why!!

Too busy but I couldn’t stop listening

A most enjoyable read - likeable characters - a whodunnit that you'll probably not guess until 10 minutes before the end!

GREAT NARRATOR - GREAT PLOT

the narrator is divisive it would seem but I really enjoyed her and chuckled often. the characters were full of life and it's not too much of a serious tone to the story which I like. I was upset when the one with the best accent died as it wasn't as funny any more

I was hooked

the DCI Barrett would have great difficulty in finding his way out of a paper bag and rude with it. the book club members were amazingly bitchy. and there was so little generosity of spirit amongst them that the drive to Johnny 's bedside was quite a surprise and out of character for most of the cast. very annoying use of the American noo pronunciation for knew and new. should be the English nu sound.however the regional accents were good. worth a listen.

too many not particularly nice characters.
