About this listen
A brand-new book from award-winning author Kate Morton, read by powerhouse Emmy award–winning actress Claire Foy. This breathtaking mystery of love, lies and a cold case come back to life is told with Morton's trademark intricacy and beauty.
Adelaide Hills, Christmas Eve, 1959. At the end of a scorching hot day, beside a creek in the grounds of a grand and mysterious house, a local deliveryman makes a terrible discovery. A police investigation is called, and the small town of Tambilla becomes embroiled in one of the most shocking and perplexing murder cases in the history of South Australia.
Many years later and thousands of miles away, Jess is a journalist in search of a story. Having lived and worked in London for nearly two decades, she now finds herself laid off from her full-time job and struggling to make ends meet. Until a phone call out of nowhere summons her back to Sydney, where her beloved grandmother, Nora, has suffered a fall and been raced to the hospital.
At Nora’s house, Jess discovers a true crime book that chronicles the police investigation into a long-buried event: the Turner Family Tragedy of Christmas Eve, 1959. It is only when Jess skims through the pages that she finds a shocking connection between her own family and this once-infamous scandal – a murder mystery that has never been resolved satisfactorily.

Characters that you will come to know, dislike and understand. How would one write a review without giving away any part of the story; it would not be fair to anyone considering reading this book.
5 Star Read - A Enjoyable Epic

The characters are complex in a beautifully written tale of love, loss, truth and home, with many twists and turns.
Brilliant narration (although I did have a couple of amusing moments with the Australian accent - but maybe only Australians would notice).
I truly loved this story so much, that I was disappointed when it finished, as I wanted to hear more.
Highly recommended.
A wonderful story...
