About this listen

One summer morning, three little girls meet for the first time. By the end of the day, two will be charged with murder. Twenty-five years later, journalist Kirsty Lindsay is reporting on a series of sickening attacks on young female tourists in a seaside town when her investigation leads her to interview funfair cleaner Amber Gordon. For Kirsty and Amber, it's the first time they've seen each other since that dark day when they were just children. But with new lives - and families - to protect, will they really be able to keep their wicked secret hidden?

Critic Reviews

"This incredible story will play on your mind. Two weeks after I read it, I can't stop thinking about it. The book of the year." ( The Sun)
"Dark, twisty and full of good surprises and insights. Marwood has delivered a compelling debut crime novel." ( Daily Mail)

Loved It!

This is worth a read, and will keep you interested throughout. The main character is well developed and interesting and the storyline really makes you think. Nature or nurture? Who knows?

Great Book

I was really torn by this book I couldn't stop listening but at the same time I didn't want to know what was going to happen next due to a feeling of dread,

I read a lot of crime books and this was defiantly a stand out for me I highly recommend this book.

Worth listening to

I found this book very slow to start, but it really started to pick up the pace about halfway through. It was very well narrated and each character was easily identifiable. Quite thought provoking - this is one book that will stay with me for some time.
