Summary
Bloomsbury presents The Death Chamber by Lesley Thomson, read by Richard Attlee.

Don't miss THE SHRINE, the brand new Detective's Daughter mystery - available now

From the number one bestseller of The Detective's Daughter.
For forty years, someone has got away with murder...

Forty years ago, seventeen-year-old Cassie Baker took a shortcut home from a small Cotswolds village, and was never seen again.

Twenty years later, Cotswolds police found Cassie's remains while searching for another missing teenager, Bryony Motson. Bryony's body was never found.

Now Stella Darnell, cleaner and private detective, has decided to find out what happened to Bryony. She knows her investigation will be dangerous. Because, for too long, someone has got away with murder. Someone who will do anything to keep it that way...
