About this listen

 She thought she knew everything about her sister. It seems she was wrong ... DC Jo Boden was 11-years-old when her older sister, Sarah, was brutally murdered during her first year at university. Her boyfriend, Nathan Wade, was convicted of the killing. Now, 15 years later, Wade is being released on licence and documentary filmmaker, Briony Rowe, says she can prove his innocence. The Boden family has never recovered from the tragedy, and they have always been certain that Wade is guilty. But Jo, who grew up believing her sister was perfect in every way, starts to question the evidence which put Wade behind bars. And perhaps Sarah harboured some very dark secrets of her own ...©2019 Susan Wilkins (P)2019 Bolinda Publishing Crime Fiction Detective Fiction Mystery Police Procedural Psychological Suspense Women Sleuths Women's Fiction

Critic reviews

'Wilkins’ use of pacey prose and short chapters enables the action-packed plot to fizz along and gather momentum as it hurtles towards its final denouement.' (The Lady)
'... blazingly brilliant.' (The Sunday Mirror)

Keeps you guessing till the end.

A good story and well constructed. The narrators voice was a little irritating at times but I enjoyed listening.
Thank you.

A very enjoyable read. Kept me awake all night to finish.

I will look for more books by Susan Wilkins. Although I did reread a few chapters to keep the plot clear in my mind it was well worth it. The narration was also excellent. Definitely recommended. Thank you for the entertainment.

Intriguing premise

I was drawn in initially by the interesting plot set up, but very quickly guessed what was going to happen. I almost stopped listening a few times but held out hope that the pace would pick up a little...I don't feel like it did unfortunately. An ok listen if you like thrillers!

Draws you in.................

A good story which draws you in and has a good wee twist at the end. You can sort of guess it but then you find you were wrong which is clever. The narration can get a bit wearing at times but that may be just me who likes different tones for different characters. Overall a good book.

Boring

This is what I dislike about detective books - it becomes all about the detective's life, and not about the thriller/mystery story. Full disclosure, I have completed 6hrs and cant listen to anymore. So maybe it gets better.
