About this listen

In the peaceful Lake District village of Old Sawrey, a murderer strikes.

Warren Howe, a husband and father of two, is brutally slaughtered with his own scythe by a mysterious hooded figure. The police manage to identify several suspects, but due to the lack of evidence they fail to make an arrest.

Years later an anonymous tip-off sparks the interest of DCI Hannah Scarlett, who heads the local Cold Case Review Team. Scarlett's investigations lead her to suspect Howe's widow, Tina. Meanwhile, someone is sending vicious poison pen letters to Tina and her two children. With the help of a historian, Inspector Scarlett delves deeper and deeper in her quest for the truth, discovering old sins that are casting long shadows. The clues are eventually pieced together, leading to a shocking revelation that will change Hannah's life forever.

I really loved the story I was totally emerged into it and the characters. I was transported to the Lake District throughout. I found the narrater a little annoying at times, she seemed to get mixed up with various voices. But that didn’t spoil the overall enjoyment of the story. Christine Clark
