About this listen

MEET LINDA.

Linda lives a nice, normal life, on a nice, normal street with Terry, her perfectly ordinary husband.

Linda’s not like everyone else, she keeps herself to herself. But she’s good at solving puzzles and there are times she sees things other people might have overlooked.

Because nothing on Cavendish Avenue is quite as it seems. People have started to go missing in the neighbourhood and Linda will soon discover that some secrets can’t stay buried forever…

Critic Reviews

"Devastating, deceptive and darkly funny. Classic Cannon." (Sarah Winman)

‘A compellingly crafted, darkly funny and compulsive read, full of twists – and twists on twists – that keeps you guessing until the last page...a joy and a triumph." (Rachel Joyce)

"Compellingly creepy, with precisely observed characterisation, A Tidy Ending combines pathos with lovely ashes of humour and a wholly unexpected ending." (Guardian)

A slow burn

I know you both love reading. Here’s a book a book recommendation.
A Tidy Ending by Joanna Cannon.

The story moves along slowly and you do wonder when something is going to happen but stick with it to the end because when it does it’s brilliant. A few cringeworthy scenes, lots of insightful, everyday moments and some that you only realise later.

Far more complex than it first appears

Pay attention! It is easy to be lulled into a false sense of familiarity with this book. Brilliant narration and fascinating characters.
