About this listen

A spell-binding mystery, packed with suspense....

During the investigation into the death of a woman on a Liverpool housing estate, DI Tara Grogan encounters Callum, a local recluse who claims to have information.

But he won't help her unless she, in turn, helps him find out the truth about the suspicious death of his wife and child.

Tara is ready to dismiss his outlandish theories and ravings, until she discovers that, like her, he was a student at Latimer College, Oxford. A place which she has very much buried in the past.

Desperate to move forward in her case and curiosity piqued, Tara accepts, but as she delves deeper into the man's past, it becomes obvious he hasn't been honest with her.

And when another death is linked to Callum, Tara is confronted by the danger that her own demons have led her to trust the wrong person again.

This is an ok story. The storyline was ok, as were most of the characters. I found the narrators voice annoying in places

Very good story development and kept interest at maximum for 3/4s of book. Only downside was the predictable end to the mystery. Has a lot of potential to grow the story arc.

Interesting characters, a murder and a mystery to unravel

Unlikely characters, unlikely plot, lack of knowledge about real policing, a narrator who sounds like a headmistress of a 1950s girls' school, and once again, another male author who refers to adult women as girls. Urgh.

Awful on so many levels

The start of the book was gripping, great build up to a story. Then the story got a bit far fetched as it went on. Felt like the final chapter really dragged on

Good build up
