About this listen

Who are the Special Girls? Are they victims or 'asking for it'? A case of historical child sex abuse by a famous doctor is linked to the murder of his young and popular colleague at a summer camp deep in the Essex woods.

A young psychiatric registrar is found beaten to death in the woods close to a summer camp for young patients suffering from eating disorders. It is run by the charismatic, world-renowned Professor Ned Chesham. DI Grace Fisher investigates, but it is not long before she is pulled from the case - to head up a Metropolitan Police review into a cold case involving Chesham himself.

Nearly 20 years ago, one of Chesham's patients made allegations that he sexually assaulted her. The investigation at the time found no conclusive proof, but Grace soon discovers another victim and a witness whose account never reached the police. Does this mean the original investigation was bungled? Scotland Yard would certainly like her to conclude otherwise. As Grace uncovers the lies that led to the young doctor's murder, she discovers the full extent of the damage done to Chesham's 'special girls' - and the danger they are still in.

When it began I thought it was very predictable. The whodunnits seemed obvious and the story a foregone conclusion, but not so. They tentacles of the underlying crime grew and the story developed.
Very well narrated by Melody Grove.
Well worth a listen

Very enjoyable, albeit an unpleasant subject

The stories are well developed, fast paced and interesting. The characters well drawn.
Definitely will look for more in the series.

Great read, really enjoyed it. 3rd book in the series, back to the standard of the 1st book. My advice - just skip the second, I found it so slow.

And she’s back!

A page-turner!
