About this listen

Libby Day was just seven years old when her older brother massacred her family while she hid in a cupboard. Her evidence helped put him away. Ever since then she has been drifting, surviving for over 20 years on the proceeds of the 'Libby Day fund'. But now the money is running out and Libby is desperate.

When she is offered $500 to do a guest appearance, she feels she has to accept. But this is no ordinary gathering. The Kill Club is a group of true-crime obsessives who share information on notorious murders, and they think her brother Ben is innocent. Ben was a social misfit, ground down by the small-town farming community in which he lived. But he did have a girlfriend - a brooding heavy metal fan called Diondra. Through her, Ben became involved with drugs and the dark arts. When the town suddenly turned against him, his thoughts turned black. But was he capable of murder?

Libby must delve into her family's past to uncover the truth - no matter how painful.

I was really intrigued by the story and the mystery of this book, but found it a little boring in places with no enough action towards the end. I disagree with the reviews saying the narrator was too flat, I thought the narration was fantastic. overall definitely worth a listen and wasn't expecting the ending at all!

A great listen. Well read. A bit scary but I had to keep listening to find out what happened. Not real good if kids are listening though as the violence is often graphic and there are some explicit sex episodes. Good though.

Evocative, lyrical writing. Brings the life of a poor farming family blighted by bad luck and tragedy vividly to life.
