About this listen

A haunting and utterly thrilling standalone crime novel from Ann Cleeves, author and creator of the Shetland, Vera Stanhope and Two Rivers series.

Abandoned as a baby, twenty-five-year-old Lizzie Bartholomew spent her childhood moving between foster homes and has had more than her fair share of troubles.

Now a holiday in Morocco seems to be the perfect escape. Especially when she meets Philip, a fellow tourist. After a brief affair, Lizzie returns to England, only to find a solicitor's letter waiting for her.

Philip Samson has died and has left Lizzie a gift of £15,000 in his will. But there are conditions attached to this unexpected legacy that will soon force Lizzie to confront terrifying secrets from her past life . . .

‘A traditional mystery of the best sort’ – The Guardian

And not in a good way. This book is just bland. It just doesn’t really get going. I properly struggled and I’m a big fan of the author. Enjoyed the narration, but she didn’t have a lot to work with. Shame.

Good lord what a shocker

But not good narrator it took me half of the book to get used to her voice

Good story

The story might have become more interesting but the narrator’s voice was so awful I couldn’t continue.

Very disappointed

I loved the narration. I really enjoyed the story. I highly recommend the book. Enjoy it you won't be rested until it's finished.

enjoyable

Just too dull and monotonous to go further than chapter 9. And I forced myself to go that far in the hope that something, anything, gave the narrator a change of tone. Nothing like any of the authors other books.

dull

A book chosen for Book Club, the consensus was one star. A story that had too many characters which were not relatable and a boring story with a protagonist who everyone told all their secrets - unlikely!

Forgettable and dull

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Tedious and very dull, wish I'd checked out the reviews rather than expecting the book to be good because of the author. Waste of money and can't finish it.
