About this listen

‘I’m so sorry, Casey,’ my link worker John said, sounding weary. ‘I know this is probably the worst time I could ring you, but we desperately need someone to take a child tonight.’

It’s the night before Christmas when Casey and Mike get the call. A twelve year old girl, stuck between a rock and a hard place. Her father is on a ventilator, fighting for his life, while her mother is currently on remand in prison. Despite claiming she attacked him in self-defence, she’s been charged with his attempted murder.

The girl is called Bella, and she’s refusing to say anything. The trouble is that she is also the only witness…

Good written story and great performances by Kate Lock. She is one of the best performers and the reason for be to keep hearing the Casey Watson books.

Kate Lock is one of the best readers I have heard

This is another fantastic book by this author. Bella was clearly a lovely child and what her and her mother were put threw was horrid. It was a wonderful story and it just shows how much the children in her care come to trust Casey. She advocates for them and does whatever she can to make sure there given the care they deserve. Looking forward to future books by this author.

Another fantastic offering.

As usual Casey doesn't mince her words she's one of my favourite carers such a good team working with her. They knew that it was in Belle's interest that she shouldn't be moved & they were with Casey 100%. Carers should be listened too more often as they are with the child 24/7 and she obviously knows the child best

The narrator completely ruined the story. Her voice is too childlike and nauseous. It's put me off of any other Casey Watson's audio books.

I would have most likely enjoyed the book if read by someone else.

The narration sadly makes this absolutely impossible to listen to. It is completely unnecessary for the narrator to put on a baby voice when speaking as a child character. Very disappointing.

Painful to listen to
