About this listen

Senior Detective Kate Wakeland senses dark undercurrents in her beloved small town, Tallman's Valley.

She's glimpsed a silent town lying beneath the valley – a place where the streets and landscapes are the same, but where daylight never reaches. But as Kate begins to investigate the silent town, a shocking multiple shooting occurs on the mountain that bookends the valley, Witness Mountain.

Kate is forced to suspend all else and focus on the case at hand. How did a frail, elderly man manage to shoot his family? Did he have the help of his grandson, a teenage boy who can't account for his whereabouts that morning?

The height of a devastating fire season hinders Kate at every turn. Through the smoky veil hanging in the valley, Kate begins to suspect a connection between the Witness Mountain shootings and the silent town.

But the dangers are far greater than Kate ever imagined. There are people who will kill to conceal what they know and what they've done.

Great trilogy!

I just finished the 3rd book of the Tallmans Valley series - I loved them all! So much so that I know need to go and catch up on the housework and sleep that I didn’t do as I was gripped by the story. Thanks for a great listen!

Awesome Series - all three books!

Couldn’t put these books down! Actually, every book from Anni Taylor has had me enthralled and engrossed. One of my new favourite authors! I’m hoping a new book won’t be far away. Caroline Lee is fantastic as the narrator. Great work all round

What a finish!

Could not stop listening! Loved this series & the final book really felt it completed the set.
It did drag a little in parts. The narrator trying to do the voice of Ivy was funny. Thought it sounded more like a toddler.

Loving all of Anni Taylor’s books

Please stop doing accents!!

I liked all three books for the story lines. They were a little too long and got boring at times. The accents were horrendous!! American, Irish, Scottish etc. just awful. The rest of the narration was great Maybe not write characters who aren’t Australian?? Or get another narrator for those?

I so enjoyed all 3 of this series. Narration & storyline were spot on. Complex plots & interesting characters made it really engrossing.

Wow. Where it all comes together.

This is where it all comes together from books 1 and 2. Very in depth with a conclusion that has a lot of scope. You need to read books 1 and 2 first to gain the most from this one. A satisfying read.
