Summary
Jo Spain is a sublime storyteller . . . this is a book you won't want to put down' JANE CASEY
2014, Dublin: at St Edmunds, an elite college on the outskirts of the city, twenty-year-old medical student Theo gets up one morning, leaving behind his sleeping girlfriend, Dani, and his studies - never to be seen again. With too many unanswered questions, Dani simply can't accept Theo's disappearance and reports him missing, even though no one else seems concerned, including Theo's father.
Ten years later, Dani returns to the college as a history professor. With her mother suffering from severe dementia, and her past at St Edmunds still haunting her, she's trying for a new start. But not all is as it seems behind the cloistered college walls - meanwhile, Dani is hiding secrets of her own.

Fabulous story
The denouement came very quickly and could have had more detail to make it last longer.

The trial
My first time reading Jo Spain and it won’t be my last. The story was captivating from the beginning. I also loved the soft natural tones of the Irish narrator. I will be looking up books by this author.

Lost interest even though I love Jo Spain books
The story started well and I liked the characters and the way the plot went back and forward. I got to the last 2 hours and found I couldn't be bothered what happened. l don't want to give away any of the plot so I will just say I really didn't care enough to finish it.

Another cracking Jo Spain novel - immaculately performed
Another terrific plot line and characterisation by Jo Spain but I want to call out the performance. As an avid audiobook listener, my biggest quibble is with bad accents. I sometimes can’t finish a book if they’re too bad. This performance was incredible. Every accent was believable and consistent and confident. I was very impressed.

Brilliant!
Another brilliant gripping read from Jo Spain. Couldn’t put it down but also didn’t want it to end. Narrator also did a brilliant job of bringing the characters to life. Loved every minute

Very slow and boring - first book I haven’t liked from Jo Spain
I hate worrying this as in a Jo Spain fan and have listened to all her books but this one just didn’t ever get going for me. It was really slow and uneventful, just a bit boring. I kept on thinking it would get going but it never did. It fell flat.
