About this listen
‘GRIPS LIKE A VICE’ – Val McDermid
'Absorbing, tense and beautifully paced' - Daily Mail
Twenty-one years ago, Dr Richard Carter and his wife Pamela were killed in what has become the most infamous double murder of the modern age.
Their ten year-old daughter – nicknamed the Angel of Death – spent eight years in a children’s secure unit and is living quietly under an assumed name with a family of her own.
Now, on the anniversary of the trial, a documentary team has tracked down her older sister, compelling her to break two decades of silence.
Her explosive interview sparks national headlines and journalist Brinley Booth, a childhood friend of the Carter sisters, is tasked with covering the news story.
For the first time, the three women are forced to confront what really happened that night – with devastating consequences for them all.
When I Was Ten is the highly anticipated, stay-up-all-night next book by acclaimed crime author Fiona Cummins.

Good twists
Not really my type of book. Too depressing and it was a little too close to home. Their childhood had some similarities to my own.
Also, the author writes with too much “flowery” description, for my taste.
However I think the pieces of the story came together well. It didn’t sound like a real story to me. I read somewhere, that it was only loosely based on an event.
I found it hard to keep up with which character was talking/narrating, due to “reading” this as an audio book. I also found the narrator read too slowly.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
