About this listen

'There were good people in The Homes. But there were also some very, very bad ones....'

A thousand unwanted children live in The Homes, a village of orphans in the Scottish Lowlands on the outskirts of Glasgow. Lesley was six before she learned that most children live with their parents. Now Lesley is 12, and she and her best friend Jonesy live in Cottage 5; Jonesy the irrepressible spirit to Lesley's quiet thoughtfulness.

Life is often cruel at The Homes, and suddenly it becomes much crueller. A child is found murdered. Then another. With the police unable to catch the killer, Lesley and Jonesy decide to take the matter into their own hands. But unwanted children are easy victims, and they are both in terrible danger....

Inspired by a true story, and introducing listeners to the unforgettable voice of young orphan Lesley, The Homes is a moving and lyrical thriller, perfect for listeners of Val McDermid, Chris Whitaker, Jane Casey and Denise Mina.
