About this listen

Thirlmere hides a deadly secret...

Drought hits the Lake District, uncovering a skeleton at the bottom of Thirlmere reservoir. The case quickly becomes personal for DI Kelly Porter when she discovers it's the remains of an old classmate, missing for over twenty years.

Then a day later, another body is found in a caravan park, its head broken and bloody.

Kelly suspects these two crimes are linked. But if she's right, that means there's a ruthless killer somewhere in her community – someone who will do anything to keep the truth buried...

A brilliantly clever, 'finish-in-one-night' murder mystery starring the hugely popular DI Kelly Porter, set in the stunning mountains and valleys of the Lake District. A must-read from million copy bestseller Rachel Lynch, for fans of L. J. Ross, Carol Wyer and Angela Marsons.

This series has yet to have a book that I did not like. I could not believe the thrills from this book… one after the other!

Read it, you won't be disappointed. I LOVE these books. I found Rachel Lynch a few years back and she's now one of my favourite authors.

I love this series! I think I've read all the books in it by now so am fully invested in the lives of the team. The characters are believable and likeable. My only problem with the book? I've finished it and have to wait for the next instalment!

This is the eleventh in Rachel Lynch's excellent series and a brilliant addition. A first-class read.

Totally compelling storyline and characterisation.

I've been quick to complain about inconsistencies in the past, but this one felt more controlled and developed. It was also utterly heartbreaking and after I'd gasped at a shock, and had to relisten to be sure I'd heard right, I actually got a little teary.

Best One Yet.
