About this listen

A chilling psychological thriller by the Wall Street Journal best-selling author of Silent Child.

Who really killed Maisie Earnshaw?

Within the walls of the high-security psychiatric facility Crowmont Hospital reside many violent offenders. To nurse Leah Smith, no matter what, all offenders are patients first and foremost. When Leah is appointed as nurse to Isabel Fielding, she is determined to remain professional despite the shocking crime Isabel allegedly committed in her past.

Seven years ago, six-year-old Maisie Earnshaw was found facedown in a duck pond, her body mutilated. Isabel - at age 14, found covered in Maisie's blood - was convicted of murder.

As Leah spends time with Isabel, she comes to know her as a young woman with a sweet, gentle nature, someone she could never see as a murderer. Leah begins to suspect members of the Fielding family of framing Isabel as a young girl, and she's not the only one. True crime blogger James Gorden thinks Isabel is innocent, too.

But is Leah letting her own dark past taint her judgment as she grows closer to her patient? Or has a young woman been unjustly robbed of her childhood?

I was intrigued at the start, mainly because of the Magpie title, but lost interest as the story progressed and am within 90 minutes of the end and can't be bothered.

Too many cliched characters.

Really irritating

I’ve read a lot of the reviews that say this book is ‘far fetched’- maybe so but I really enjoyed it I don’t necessarily want to listen to something too believable- nothing wrong with a bit of escapism!! I also liked the narration.

Enjoyed it!!

A really good listen. Very well narrated. However, why the antagonist couldn’t be tied up isn’t explained. Other than that head scratcher it’s highly recommended.

Very Good
