Özet

There are some secrets you just can’t bury.

A gripping Audible Original for fans of Jane Harper’s The Dry and Sarah Pearse’s The Sanatorium, The Teacher’s Lie is a psychological thriller set on the harsh and rugged South Australian coast, performed by Mia Wasikowska (Alice in Wonderland, The Kids Are All Right).

It’s been two years since Anna Cartwright’s life fell apart. During her first school trip as a young teacher, a student went missing and was never found. Not only was her career ruined, she was also accused of having an affair with fellow teacher and prime suspect Graham. Facing questions from journalists, police and family, Anna said she didn’t know what happened. She was lying.

Now, Anna has returned to Australia. Her only hope is Land’s End Area School, an isolated concrete wasteland perched on the cliffs. The failing institution is so understaffed that it is the one place her history might remain hidden. But while the eccentric Headmistress seems welcoming, deputy-head Miss Baxter seems determined to expose her secrets.

With new lies spinning out of control, how long can Anna keep her secret hidden? And is she being haunted by her guilt or by something far more sinister?

By chapter 9 I could go on no longer- the mystery, the misery, the environment, depression completely overcame me. I read all the time- a huge variety of books and thought immediately that the book is well written and evocative- but no spark of relief to keep me going through the gloom and fearful threat.

Relentlessly painful

Why are there so many alleyways around this school in the middle of nowhere? This is so badly paced. Even when something dramatic happens it takes forever because the description is so laborious. All the characters talk like NPCs from a video game and miss off possessive pronouns when they speak to the point that it gets irritating. Weird ending as well. I never thought I would come across a worse book than The Cone Gatherers, but here we are.

Long boring nonsense

I really enjoyed the whole book. There were some excellent characters and a nice twisty storyline. Because I’m an old softy, I’d like a little bit more in the postscript.

Excellent characters with a deep secret

This wasn’t what I expecting from the write up. It’s a strange supernatural sort of thing which really isn’t my bag - made infinitely worse by the droning narration. I had to keep re-listening to parts of it as my mind kept wandering off … I’ve never had that happen whilst listening to a book before! The story wasn’t really there … nothing actually happened … and I can’t, for the life in me, fathom out what the story was actually supposed to be. Pretty ridiculous.

Far fetched and just … weird

The story had potential but the whole background story is dragged on for way too long and most events happening don't really add anything more. I was very bored throughout. The reader was very talented at making different voices and setting the scenes everytime. Would not recommend.

very slow story...
