About this listen

Jo Spain is a sublime storyteller . . . this is a book you won't want to put down' JANE CASEY

2014, Dublin: at St Edmunds, an elite college on the outskirts of the city, twenty-year-old medical student Theo gets up one morning, leaving behind his sleeping girlfriend, Dani, and his studies - never to be seen again. With too many unanswered questions, Dani simply can't accept Theo's disappearance and reports him missing, even though no one else seems concerned, including Theo's father.

Ten years later, Dani returns to the college as a history professor. With her mother suffering from severe dementia, and her past at St Edmunds still haunting her, she's trying for a new start. But not all is as it seems behind the cloistered college walls - meanwhile, Dani is hiding secrets of her own.

Reasonable plot

Reasonable plot but a lot of repetition. I very much like the voice of the narrator.

another great story by Jo Spain

I have read or listened to several Jo Spain novels and always forget to leave a review.
Her novels are always well written and leave you guessing.
The narrator on this audio book is well suited to the characters.
Really enjoyed this book.

Great plot

An intricate and human plot, it had me guessing all the way. It was read beautifully, the voices of the characters felt totally real, whatever gender and nationality they were.
