Investigative journalist Oonagh O'Neil's instincts tell her when a story is worth pursuing. And the death of an elderly priest on the altar of his Glasgow church, just as she is about to expose the shocking truth behind the closure of an infamous Magdalene Institution, tells her a sinister cover up is in play. DI Alec Davies is appointed to investigate the priest's death. He and Oonagh go way back. But now they're united in uncovering not only what happened to the lost babies secretly born in the Institution, but what happened to the young women that survived by vowing loyalty to one another... forever. The doors of the Magdalene laundries hid the most harrowing secrets from the world – secrets Oonagh is determined to reveal, whatever the price...©2018 Theresa Talbot (P)2018 W.F.

Great plot, strong believable characters, snappy dialogue and the marvellous setting of Glasgow. The narrator's voiceless perfect. I was hooked

Gripping storyline

A familiar story of a time from the past. Very well written and narrated with substance and humour. So much detail and the formation of time periods and characters was both informative and absorbing.

Oh my, very good.

What a listen couldn't put it down. Narrator brought the whole thing to life. Very harrowing in parts gave me something to really think about.

Excellent

A heart-breaking story well told. A good thriller. Struggled a bit with continuity and had to "rewind" a few times to make sure I hadn't missed anything. Will read/listen to author again.

Absolutely Heart-breaking
