About this listen
A spectacular voice-driven mystery from a highly acclaimed crime writer.
How do you solve a murder when everyone thinks you're guilty?
Marjorie Crowe lives in Kilgoyne, Scotland. The locals put her age at somewhere between 55 and 70. They think she's divorced or a lifelong spinster; that she used to be a librarian, a pharmacist, or a witch. They think she's lonely, or ill, or maybe just plain rude. For the most part, they leave her be.
But one day, everything changes.
Local teenager Charlie McKee is found hanging in the woods, and Marjorie is the first one to see his body. When what she saw turns out to be impossible, the police have their doubts. And when another young person goes missing, the tide of suspicion turns on her.
Is Marjorie the monster, or the victim? And how far will she go to fight for her name?

A fine Scottish crime book.

The Scottish scene is set carefully so that I could imagine Kilgoyne but I had a good look at the places where the story, a tense mystery, is set.
The characterization is done well although sometimes I found the descriptions of Marjorie and her thoughts touching on repetitive.
Robertson explores the treatment of women deemed to be witches alongside the drama taking place around the life of Marjorie. The elements of the supernatural are explored sensitively.
I found it enjoyable to listen to excellent narration from Jenny Lee. Am
