About this listen
'Twisted, exhilarating and very, very creepy' LOUISE CANDLISH
'Had me hooked from the start to the unexpected and terrifying end' CARLY REAGON
1978. Mrs. Medlock is the dutiful housekeeper at Marwood Manor. One of the few remaining staff, she protects a dying aristocratic order, serving the Lord and Lady and caring for their sickly young son.
Over the past twenty years, Mrs. Medlock has become the keeper of secrets. Secrets of the family. Secrets of her own. Secrets that may be found in the manor's walled garden, out of sight but not forgotten.
When a distant relative, Mary, arrives at the property in need of a place to live and with a determination to explore, Mrs. Medlock fears the secrets of Marwood are no longer safe. And digging up the past may have deadly consequences for them all . . .
An atmospheric, contemporary Gothic horror story, Medlock is a dark and frightening reimagining of the classic novel The Secret Garden that will enrapture listeners until the very end.

Critic Reviews
S. G. Hartnell's update of The Secret Garden brings a stylish contemporary twist to a much-loved classic. A thoughtful and engaging read (JOHN BOYNE)
A deliciously dark, Gothic mystery. Kept me up beyond my bedtime! (JANE CORRY)
This bold reimagining of The Secret Garden is a darkly perfect slice of contemporary gothic. It takes the bones of a classic and rebuilds them into something entirely wild and horrifying and new, tightening the screws on the reader at every turn. I can't wait to see what S. G. Hartnell's imagination conjures next . . . (ALEX HAY)
A beautifully written tale of good and evil. Restless, relatable and utterly absorbing. Just make sure you read it with all the lights on (MARION TODD)
A spine-chilling, nerve-jangling web of secrets and illusions. S.G. Hartnell's Medlock is a thing of beauty, draped in darkness. Breathtaking (HELEN FIELDS)
A dark, sinister, cleverly constructed tale, disturbingly gripping and not for the faint hearted. Hartnell is a shining new talent in the Gothic horror genre (A. A. CHAUDHURI)
