About this listen

Breathe...if you dare.

English countryside, 1958. The idyllic village of Olney has stood in its peaceful location for over 900 years.

Until one day, when two teenage boys are struck by a mysterious illness. The newly arrived Doctor Hilary Newton suspects a common flu to be the cause of their malady. Before long, the doctor and residents of Olney are plunged into a nightmare, as the disease ravages the local population. Despite the doctors employing the latest medicine available, the death toll keeps rising.

Someone in the village knows the reason behind the pestilence that has struck at the heart of the village, but can the medics learn the truth before it’s too late, or will they join the growing list of names that appear on the death roll in Olney St. Mary?

Set in post-war England, this story is not what I was expecting it to be, but I was none the less delighted I downloaded it.
It's well worth a listen, with a well thought out, detailed story. The narrator makes all the difference to a story like this, and Joe Mills is one of the best narrators I've ever had the pleasure of listening to.

Decent story.Well worth a listen.
