Özet
 This audiobook features an exclusive introduction from Susie Dent, and an exclusive Q&A between Susie and Youtube's Jack Edwards.

When an anonymous letter is delivered to the Clarendon English Dictionary, it is rapidly clear that this is not the usual lexicographical enquiry. Instead, the letter hints at secrets and lies linked to a particular year.

For Martha Thornhill, the new senior editor, the date can mean only one thing: the summer her brilliant older sister Charlie went missing.

After a decade abroad, Martha has returned home to the city whose ancient institutions have long defined her family. Have the ghosts she left behind her been waiting for her return?

When more letters arrive, and Martha and her team pull apart the complex clues within them, the mystery becomes ever more insistent and troubling. It seems Charlie had been keeping a powerful secret, and someone is trying to lead the lexicographers towards the truth. But other forces are no less desperate to keep it well and truly buried.

I loved this, it’s so different. It had me hooked from the first chapter. I loved the Shakespeare quotes and references. The mystery kept me guessing all the way through. 5stars

Excellent combination of a page turning mystery and a fascinating history of words and their meanings.

Thoroughly enjoyable story with a great cast of characters who I would definitely want to see again, hopefully in future novels. It is peppered throughout with wonderful etymological gems from Susie which I really enjoyed. The performance did feel a little stiff in places especially with the dialogue but overall was ok..

Excellent debut novel

As an audio, very occasionally l had to rewind as parts needed more concentration but this did not affect my enjoyment of the overall book.

The language and format, giving the listener an insight into the world of the dictionary

I really enjoyed this book. The principal story around which the main characters dance is unsettling by its believability and normality. The mystery is beautifully layered. The characters and visualisation of places is strong. lots of celebrities seem to get fictional book deals in recent times some like Richard Osmand, Bob Mortimer well deserved others not so. I had high hopes for this and Susy definitely belongs in the deserving group. looking forward to a sequel or at least her next foray into fiction.

Delightful characters, wordplay and a mystery

Like Susie Dent I have always enjoyed the written word. This book didn’t disappoint and I loved the clues left for Martha and her colleagues to discover what had happened to her sister who had disappeared 10 years earlier. The podcast with Susie at the end of the book was enjoyable to listen to and I look forward to another book from Susie in the near future.

Thoroughly enjoyable
