About this listen

A murder tears a small town apart. But who did it?

The pretty market town of Sterndale is a close-knit community where everyone thinks they know everyone else. But at a lavish summer wedding, a local celebrity is discovered slumped in the gardens, the victim of a violent assault that leads to a murder investigation.

As the police search for answers, suspicion and paranoia build and the lives of the locals are turned upside down. Secrets that lurk beneath the pristine façade of Sterndale come to light as detectives close in on the truth.

A gripping and moving thriller with the emotional drama of series like Broadchurch and Liar, this is the perfect listen for fans of Cara Hunter, Heidi Perks and Claire Douglas.

It wasn’t what I was expecting, I was confused by the authors name! Initially I found the narrator a little monosyllabic during the narrative sections. But I’m glad I persevered.

An indifferent story, not well written. No emotion, no empathy with any of the characters, no twists and turns. Just a police investigation; questioning witnesses, following leads, then finally convicting somebody.

The audible summary covers everything if you take out the hyperbole: A TV celebrity (Tristrin Heart) goes to a local wedding and somebody hits him over the head with a champagne bottle in a remote area of the hotel grounds, fatally wounding him. Police are called. This is after we've listened to a couple of hours of introducing characters, (about 60 in all), and a lot of minutia - much of it unnecessary and doesn't add value to the story.

To be fair, we do hear in depth about the victim's wife and daughter (Isobel and Flora), also the Ridley family with whom they are close. They all do a little investigation of their own, mainly around whether Tristrin has been faithful to his wife, but don't share this information with the police.

In all, I think a good writer could have made more of the story. It definitely didn't come over to me as a "gripping and moving thriller with emotional drama". It's just a police procedural. Lucy Paterson as narrator did her best to breathe life into it.

Well written, and interesting characters, but the actual plot revelation is absolutely unbelievable which is a shame.
