About this listen

From the Sunday Times top 10 best-selling author of The Silent Sister and Big Lies in a Small Town comes a powerful, gripping and unmissable new novel.

Secrets won't stay silent for ever.

2020. A recently widowed architect moves into the home she and her late husband designed, heartbroken that he will never cross the threshold. But when disturbing things begin to happen, it's clear that someone is sending her a warning. Who is trying to frighten her away and why?

1965. A young white female student becomes involved in the fight for civil rights in North Carolina, falling in love with one of her fellow activists, in a time and place where an interracial relationship must be hidden from family, friends and especially the re-emerging Ku Klux Klan. As tensions rise in the town, she realises not everyone is who they appear to be.

Decades later, past and present are set to collide in the last house on the street....

Enthralling story

This had me hooked, great story and fantastic narrator who was able to perform a range of voices. The story was so sad at times and eye opening to how people of colour were treated during the civil rights movement.
Very powerful.

Slow but steady

This book started off a bit slow but thats perhaps because I was imagining an intense “on the edge of your seat” thriller. I also found the narration a little irritating. However it picked up nicely and had a good storyline with some twists and turns. I definitely found the last section very compelling and couldn’t put the book down. A good twist with the civil rights history which is very sad but interesting. All in all, I enjoyed this book.
