About this listen

Tom Honeyman made his name cracking a horrific double murder in his hometown of Prosper, New York. He got an international best seller out of it, made a small fortune, and left his newspaper reporting days behind.

But was it all based on a lie?

Now, more than a decade after his one and only success, Honeyman’s life is in tatters. His wife committed suicide, his daughter hasn’t spoken to him in years, and his books don’t sell. He’s sequestered himself in his wreck of a retreat on an island in Venice, desperate to find the inspiration that will revive his career.

But Tom Honeyman is not alone.

An unseen stranger tells Honeyman he got it wrong all those years ago. And he has just four days to uncover the real murderer.

Tom Honeyman is no longer writing for his livelihood. He’s writing for his life.

Critic reviews

"Hewson does a good job balancing action and characterization. Readers who appreciate nail-biting suspense will be satisfied." (Publishers Weekly)

A twisty listen. Good plot and believable characters. Well worth a listen. Excellent narrating and I’m not fond of more than one narrator

Very good

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
I found it difficult to follow as the change from whispering to shouting was problematic

OK Story but volume levels an issue.

Wasn't sure at first but very soon gripped and kept in suspense to the end.

Gripping

Sorry this is really spoiling the Audible version, was it really necessary to include that awful bleep everytime the kidnapper speaks? It is sooo annoying the automated voice would have been enough... I will comment further if I can make it through to the end!

Irritating, needless radio bleeb!

Lacked verisimilitude. Narrator was poor. Volume kept rising and falling and intonation changing. Very tiresome to listen to.

Poor plot.
