About this listen

 'Gripping, smart, suspenseful' Edel Coffey

'I could not put the book down' Amy Jordan

In a village of secrets, is anyone truly innocent?

A gripping, twist-filled story of secrets, deception and suspicion from the bestselling author of Somebody Knows and There's Something I Have to Tell You.

On an icy morning in January, a body is discovered at the bottom of the Wishing Steps at Blarney Castle, seemingly the tragic death by falling of a young tourist.

Jessie DeMarco had travelled to the Cork village in search of the father she'd never known. When her bereft mother Dani arrives from America to identify her daughter's body, she brings with her a story of Jessie's father's past - now a pillar of the community - that will soon lead to shocking accusations and fervent denials.

Convinced that her daughter's death was not accidental, Dani sets about uncovering evidence, as the local community begins to take sides. But who to believe - the local man they have known all their lives, or a devastated mother with nothing to lose?

This is a great story and read beautifully, with all of the things that I love most about the Irish accent. However, as an Italian mother tongue living in Ireland, I found the wrong Italian pronunciation so annoying. It wasn’t just the accent, it was properly read wrongly and, in parts, impossible to understand. Now I appreciate I might be the only Italian mother tongue that will listen to this audiobook, however I believe that it wouldn’t have taken more than 15’ to check that pronunciation over… just a small detail but so annoying!

Great story and performance except for a very annoying detail

I enjoyed the narration. Tge story was well constructed.
One difficulty I have with it is that place names like “Gurranabraher” have a proper way of pronouncing. It irked me to hear it said wrongly.

I enjoyed that it was set in cork and I could visualise all the locations
