About this listen

On Sunday, February 3rd 1990, seven-year-old Danny Redpath disappeared from his home. Four months later, his body was found in the nearby forest, washed clean of all evidence. Over time, more bodies were discovered; more families devastated forever.

Apprehended while attempting to abduct another child, Jonathan Egan-Walsh was charged with the murders of thirteen boys. Convicted on all counts, he received life in prison and went unrepentant, still refusing to reveal the whereabouts of one of his victims, Zachery Marshall.

Twenty-five years later, Zachery’s mother Diane is still searching for his body. When Jonathan dies in custody, she realises she will never know its location – until she receives a letter he left in his cell, in which he admits he was guilty of all the crimes of which he was accused, except the murder of her son.

Diane tracks down the woman in charge of the case at the time, former DI Caroline Turner, and together with Jonathan’s biographer Alex Frost they start to investigate. Could this be the killer’s final twist of the knife – or is he telling the truth at long last? Sooner or later, this secret buried and undisturbed for a quarter of a century will come to light.

I listened to this book as I love Joanne Froggatt's narration. She brings the stories she reads to life and this book is outside of my usual genre, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. The story started out a bit flimsy I thought but the complexity developed throughout and it was a great listen. I pegged the crux of the story about 1/2 way through, but the author keeps you guessing with how the story develops. Worth a listen for sure, it was great!

Fantastic Story

This book has EVERYTHING you want and, most importantly for me, it was NOT predictable or too formulaic. Great plot and pace AND narration was flawless! Joanne makes each individual character utterly unique. Bravo!

5 stars every day of the week!
