About this listen

'What could be more important than finding the truth?'

Wiltshire, 1922. Fifteen-year old Pudding Cartwright has begun the career she always wanted, as 'girl groom' to the Hadleigh family's horses at Manor Farm. Irene Hadleigh is struggling to adjust to her new life in sleepy Slaughterford, having married Alistair to escape a scandal in London. At a loss to occupy herself, Irene sets about restyling Manor Farm, and during the work the chance finding of a strange object hidden away in the house for years will change everything.

When somebody close to both of them is murdered, Pudding and Irene are thrown together to seek out the identity of the killer in their midst, unaware of just how deep the roots of the crime lie. During a hot, humid summer of grief, betrayal and misapprehensions, they will uncover truths neither of them could ever have foreseen.

Read by Anna Bentinck.

I've listened to books before by this narrator which I've enjoyed but this time it really wasn't great. The wrong intonation became annoying, as did the unsubtle correction of mistakes. The book itself was OK, well researched and fluffy but the jumps in time zones wasn't clear, leading to confusion. Its not put me off the author but only gets a 3 out of 5, at best.

Odd narration let the story down.

Great to listen to a book where you can't see the plot coming from a mile away very refreshing but still making complete sense sad in place and funny in others highly recommended

Many a twist and turn

Gentle entertaining storyline, sometimes surprisingly gruesome and blood curdling, surprising twist at end. Very descriptive style.
Disliked reader’s tendency to make every sentence and statement sound like a question, tried to ‘tune it out’ but annoyingly persistent. Would only read other books by author if different reader performed it. I don’t expect to ‘love’ every voice, but truly found this performance annoying, sadly!

Story keeps you going

I loved the gentle narration of this interesting and complex story and the character within it. The end had me completely surprised with the twist of story/character - loved it. Will definitely seek out other stories narrated by Anna Bentinck.
