About this listen

Yorkshire Dales, Summer 1997. Vicky Mott slips out the door of her remote cottage, and into the pale dawn light. She scrawls a note for her friends.

Gone to see the sunrise. V xxx

That’s the last anyone ever hears from twenty-year-old music lover Vicky.

Another victim of the Fellside Strangler?

That would make Vicky the fourth young woman to lose her life this summer. Snatched by a mysterious killer who stalks the fells . . .

But Vicky’s body is never found.

2019. A skeleton is discovered in a twisty network of caves beneath the fells. Detectives Leo Donovan and Shan Young think they can finally give Vicky’s mother the closure she so desperately wants. After twenty long years of questions and anguish.

But the deeper they dig into the past, the less certain they become.

And nothing can prepare them for the shocking truth . . .©2024 Cath Staincliffe (P)2025 W. F. Howes Ltd.

The body of a young woman, found in an underground cave and the extensive and heartfelt investigation of her death is the basis of this fascinating murder mystery.
I was drawn in from the beginning, as the inspector and his new sergeant work their way through the mystery and personalities of the five young people who twenty years before, visited the Fells to attend. a weekend of pop music at a festival. Each young person with a perspective of what happened to Vicki and remembering her brightness and talent.
The personal lives of the policeman and woman are also part of this tale and the reactions of Vicki’s mum, Elizabeth are also given centre stage as the whole story comes to light.

A new author to me, and one I’m happy to follow. This audiobook was so beautifully read and the atmosphere and characters so beautifully drawn made this story unforgettable.

A murder investigation with heart
