About this listen

A 15-year-old girl has gone missing in the middle of the night, and the following morning her boyfriend is found brutally murdered in his home. Was the girl responsible, or is she also a victim of a killer? But who would want two teenagers dead?

After personal tragedy finds police detective Gemma Woodstock in the coastal town of Fairhaven with her son in tow, she has begged to be part of a murder investigation rather than take the time to figure out how to handle the next stage of her life.

As she searches for answers while navigating her son's grief and the hostility of her new colleagues, the mystery deepens, and old tensions and secrets come to light. Gemma is increasingly haunted by a similar missing persons case she worked on not long before. A case that ended in tragedy and made her question her instincts as a cop.

Can she trust herself again?

For me, the narrator ruined a great story. Her inflection was often at odds with the adjectives spoken. At times it was like listening to a first time teenage babysitter read a bedtime story to her charges.

A good read with lots of twists to keep you guessing. I’ve enjoyed the other books in this series but this one is my favourite. Intrigued from the start!

My favourite of the series

I have really enjoyed the first two books in this series and was so looking forward to this, the third. Gemma Woodstock is a strong character and Sarah Bailey a great author.

In Where the Dead Go, I was made very aware how a narrator and the intonations used when reading can make a difference in portraying that character. I didn’t like Ms French as Gemma Woodstock, at all. Woodstock can be difficult and removed at best, Ms French had her sounding like a total bi*** all the time.
In comparison to listening to Kate Hosking, this narrator was less than adequate. Story good.

I really love the Gemma series. she is very relatable and the story builds to a dramatic end. I would definitely recommend

Great Aussie Author

This the third of Sarah Bailey’s books I’ve read. It’s interesting in so many ways. I found it unputdownable. I had guessed on how it might end and was partly right. It’s a brilliant psychological narrative of Gemma’s state of mind. And interesting in that a seaside paradise has a darker side. This has proved to be the case with a few Australian country towns in actuality.
I highly recommend it.

Enthralling read from beginning to end

The story was very light with no highlights just plodded along I kept listening to the end expecting the story to improve but it did not

Difficult to get into

Have had to stop listening as the narration is just so clipped, and the intonation so out of line with the story it’s infuriating!
Have loved Sarah Baileys books (particularly The Housemate - amazing!) but just can’t struggle through this. Will buy a hard copy and read it to myself instead…

Narration totally ruins the book

I loved this book which follows on from the last two books. The story was narrated really well. It was engaging with twists and turns. Enjoy!!

A fantastic suspense read

With a kiwi twang and different cadence I really wish you had stuck with the previous reader.

Really miss the previous reader

The story was probably very good but the narration was dreadful. I felt as though the narrator was reading a children's book to a bunch of 3 year olds. I really struggled to listen to it all the way through, almost giving up because of the narrator.

Struggled to finish
