About this listen

"Let me out! Please...." My tiny fists pound the door, but my voice reverberates off the stone walls and hangs in the air as if suspended by spider’s webs. No one comes....

Years later, a woman is found face-down in a pool of blood. Detective Lottie Parker is called to the remote farmhouse in the bleak Irish countryside. Inside, she finds a scene that speaks of uncontrollable rage: glasses smashed, chairs ripped apart, the woman’s body broken.

A black rain jacket makes Lottie think she knows the killer’s identity, but then she finds a disturbing clue: is the murder linked to an old case at St Declan’s asylum - a case investigated by her own father, just before he took his life?

When another victim is left without her tongue on the hospital steps, and a young girl goes missing, Lottie knows she has to act fast. Can she face her own demons and uncover the truth before another life is taken?

An absolutely gripping book from the best-selling author of The Missing Ones and The Stolen Girls. If you love Rachel Abbott, Angela Marsons, or Robert Dugoni, you’ll be completely hooked.

I could not put this book down. Gripingly realistic, absolutely 100% believable, characters are 3 dimensional and on point as you could wish. No cliches, no tricks no slight of hand, just full on damn good story telling at it's best. I quietly hope this is the last in the seies as it just can't get any better. At the same time its so good you want more. 6 stars.

Best crime series in a long time.

Wow! Another fantastic tale by Patricia Gibney.

But, more murders keep happening Lottie must work out how they are all connected, why is it happening and what / who is behind this nightmare. What she uncovers in the end will shock her to the core and send her world upside-down.

Can this story get any more twisted?

Plot was quit good, it kept me wondering and had those areas where I guessed something’s but not all.
Characters were a little wanting. I couldn’t quite see Lottie.
The narrator, while speaking well, was difficult to follow sometimes during dialogue as the differences were had to discern.

I love this series. I'm really getting to know Lottie and the other characters. the only thing with this performance was the foreign accents. American performed by a strong Irish accent didn't work for me, but I loved the story and the twist at the end. looking forward to the next one.
