About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
When single mum Joanna hears a rumour at the school gates, she never intends to pass it on. But one casual comment leads to another and now there's no going back . . .
Rumour has it that a notorious child killer is living under a new identity, in their sleepy little town of Flinstead-on-Sea.
Sally McGowan was just ten years old when she stabbed little Robbie Harris to death forty-eight years ago - no photos of her exist since her release as a young woman.
So who is the supposedly reformed killer who now lives among them? How dangerous can one rumour become? And how far will Joanna go to protect her loved ones from harm, when she realizes what it is she's unleashed?
IF YOU'VE ALREADY DEVOURED THE RUMOUR THEN LOOK OUT FOR THE DARE, THE CAPTIVATING THRILLER FROM LESLEY KARA.

"An intriguing premise, a creeping sense of dread, and a twist you won't see coming! Everyone is going to be talking about The Rumour." (Shari Lapena, best-selling author of The Couple Next Door and A Stranger in the House)

Un-putdownable
I had to listen to this every spare minute until the end. Even then the final sentence was a complete surprise.
Brilliant.

Something different...
I did enjoy this book, so many options to choose from for the "suspect" 😅...found that the last part dragged a bit and felt like telling the author to just shut up and get on with it basically 😂 last couple of minutes not a huge surprise...🤔 good story overall though! 😊
