About this listen

Jackie and Pete King have lived in Dunmore for years, running one of the two local pubs in the sleepy little town. Money has been tight after the bushfires, and it’s about to get tighter if they can’t find a way to pay their suppliers to keep their business going and keep the bank from foreclosing on their property. So when Jackie receives a mysterious phone call offering them $100,000 to let someone bury a body on their land, the answer isn’t as simple as they thought it would be.

It’s a deal that could change their lives. But when a woman in the next town over goes missing, it’s a deal that could ruin them forever.

Very good read, highly recommend

This was such a good story from start to finish. It got me so frustrated with the husband for being so awkward but I won’t spoil as to why… short read but a good one. Highly recommend!

Loved it - couldn’t take my ears out

This was a wonderful read that had me gripped to the end. I loved the story and the characters which had me ripping through the chapters and ignoring my family until I finished it.
The narrator was excellent and very easy to understand and listen to. Will thoroughly recommend this to family and friends.

Great story and performance

Loved this escapist thriller that I listened to in a day. Sibylla Budd is an excellent narrator and I look forward to more of her work. Twisty story that I couldn’t put down.

Great short story

A very interesting and unexpected story. I couldn’t stop listening! It is the perfect short book to listen to between long ones.
