About this listen

A much-loved mother, teacher and friend steps on a plane for an overseas adventure and is never seen again.


When Marion Barter disappeared in 1997, police initially dismissed it as the actions of a divorced mother abandoning her family. In this book, the creators of the addictive global hit podcast The Lady Vanishes detail the winding investigation into Marion's disappearance, from tentative early police efforts to her daughter's 27-year search for answers.

The Lady Vanishes is an engrossing story of how a small team of seasoned investigative journalists and storytellers, a daughter's intuition and a team of listener super-sleuths uncovered a web of intrigue spanning nine decades and three continents, and how - after 57 episodes, 20 million downloads and sparking a coronial inquiry - they discovered at the heart of the mystery a stranger-than-fiction international man of mystery who could hold the key to what really happened to Marion.

I thought I knew everything from listening to the podcast but I feel there was more detail and behind the scenes than was able to be covered in the podcast. Audiobook is well voiced easy to listen to.

Nearly as good as the podcast. Well written and informative. Coroner should have sent the case straight to the DPP. Blum will be deceased before he is charged unfortunately.

The sincerety of the story
