About this listen

It's Maya and Jamie's anniversary, and she waits with excitement for him to return home for a celebratory dinner. There's a knock at the door. It's the police. Jamie has been found hanging in a local wood. His death is ruled a suicide, but Maya doesn't believe Jamie would take his own life. Something isn't right. Someone has broken into her house. Someone is watching her. And someone has gone to great lengths to cover up what Jamie was doing before he died.

Maya's grief turns to suspicion, and as she begins to investigate the weeks leading up to Jamie's death, her trail leads her to a place known as "The Big House" and the horrific secrets within. Secrets people will stop at nothing to keep hidden. People linked to the heart of the Establishment who think they're untouchable. Now Maya has a dangerous decision to make. How far is she prepared to go to reveal the truth?

Critic Reviews

"One of those novels that hooks you in from the start, then keeps upping the game as you read it until you are desperate for certain outcomes from the plot and characters…. 5 huge stars and long-listed for my Top 10 Books of 2016." (Booklover Catlady)

Wow – this certainly was a powerful, disturbing and haunting tale of abuse and revenge! Apparently some scenes in the book were inspired by real police investigations, and Hodge has obviously done her homework, not holding back when describing the full horror of unspeakable acts committed to the children in this story. As a warning to the faint hearted: some of the scenes in this book are very explicit and contain graphic descriptions of child sexual and psychological abuse that will definitely disturb some readers. I listened to the audio version, and felt that some of the images it evoked were upsetting and sickening – even more so to know that these events are not pure fiction and are based on real life events. I shuddered many times when exposed to the full horror of some of the children’s ordeal, and must admit that I found the revenge part not nearly as satisfying as I had hoped. How can such terrible acts ever be truly avenged?

If you like dark and disturbing thrillers that contain a certain element of conspiracy theory on a larger scale, and are able to stomach the more explicit details, then this is the right book for you! I found some of the political details the story is based on quite intriguing, and it certainly challenged my trust in law enforcement and democracy as a whole, even though some of Mitchell’s theories seemed a bit over the top. I applaud the author for tackling such a difficult and emotionally charged topic and weaving it into a multi-layered and gripping thriller. Whilst it was more a tale of seeking justice and revenge than a psychological thriller, it made for a captivating read and I am looking forward to reading more from this author in future.

A solid and heart-felt performance by all three narrators, which made the audiobook version a great choice!

Powerful, disturbing & haunting

It was quite a sad story and I feel like the perpetrators don't pay enough of a price...but I suppose that's what makes it more realistic I suppose.

Great performances across the board.

A look into the Deep, dark & twisted world.

This is a tragic love story.

Placed against the backstory of some of most abhorrent child abused you could ever imagine.

It’s about a grieving fiancé, and a shattered father desperately fighting the system & cover ups in a bid to eventually get justice for the victims.

It’s not an easy read, in fact, some part stayed with me for days, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a book that NEEDS to be read

It definitely NEEDS to be read.

Told from the alternate POV’s of Mia , Jaime, and… eventually Mitchell it’s take us through the lives of a group of boys left on a system that let them down.

A women refusing to believe the story told to her about her boyfriend.And a father, riddled with guilt, searching for justice

Highly recommended

Very dark, heavy storyline with great narration. I was very much drawn in and couldn’t stop listening, but I did not love the way the story ended.

Very dark, enthralling

Sadly the content of this book is very believable because all around the world we are witnessing court cases and enquiries where the innocent are taken advantage by those who have been put in place to care for them.

Well worth purchasing.

Great book, tragic but real topic
