Summary

In a small, isolated town on the North Norfolk coast, Fran's life is unravelling.

As she fills her days cleaning the caravan park she owns, she is preoccupied by worry — about the behavior of her son, the growing absence of her husband and the strained relationship with her sister. Her one source of solace is slipping out to the beach early in the morning, to watch the birds.

Small-town tension simmers when a new teacher starts at the local school and a Romany community settle in the field adjoining Fran's caravan park. From the distance of his caravan, seventy-year-old Tad quietly watches the townspeople — mainly, Fran's family.

When the schoolteacher and Fran's brother-in-law both go missing on the same night, accusations fly. Yet all Fran can seem to care about is the birds.

A Captivating story - beautifully read.

Absolutely loved this! I was instantly transported and immersed. Clever, captivating twists and turns. Evocative, clear reading by Pandora Clifford and Glen MCready - was gripped until the end. Would thoroughly recommend. Will be looking out for more of the same.

Beautifully narrated

There is an ethereal quality to this thriller and its narration that makes it engaging and absorbing to listen to. It’s a great story. Excellent narration by both readers. Highly recommend it.
