About this listen

'Gripping, smart, suspenseful' Edel Coffey

'I could not put the book down' Amy Jordan

In a village of secrets, is anyone truly innocent?

A gripping, twist-filled story of secrets, deception and suspicion from the bestselling author of Somebody Knows and There's Something I Have to Tell You.

On an icy morning in January, a body is discovered at the bottom of the Wishing Steps at Blarney Castle, seemingly the tragic death by falling of a young tourist.

Jessie DeMarco had travelled to the Cork village in search of the father she'd never known. When her bereft mother Dani arrives from America to identify her daughter's body, she brings with her a story of Jessie's father's past - now a pillar of the community - that will soon lead to shocking accusations and fervent denials.

Convinced that her daughter's death was not accidental, Dani sets about uncovering evidence, as the local community begins to take sides. But who to believe - the local man they have known all their lives, or a devastated mother with nothing to lose?

I’ve listened to three of Michelle McDonagh’s audiobooks and I’m sorry to say this was my least favourite. I think the narration put me off and possibly I found the characters less likeable. I dislike when narrators unsuccessfully adopt accents and there was an American accent used for some characters. I especially found the repeated use of the word “cawps” (cops) irritating.

I do however like how Michelle tells her stories and she ends them very well. The reader ends up learning the full story (even if some characters don’t) and this is satisfying. I’d recommend the other two stories before this one but as I said it may just be a personal dislike that detracted from my enjoyment this time. I look forward to listening to future stories.
