À propos de ce contenu audio

From award-winning author Kate Morton, read by powerhouse Emmy award–winning actress Claire Foy. This breathtaking mystery of love, lies and a cold case come back to life is told with Morton's trademark intricacy and beauty.

Adelaide Hills, Christmas Eve, 1959. At the end of a scorching hot day, beside a creek in the grounds of a grand and mysterious house, a local deliveryman makes a terrible discovery. A police investigation is called, and the small town of Tambilla becomes embroiled in one of the most shocking and perplexing murder cases in the history of South Australia.

Many years later and thousands of miles away, Jess is a journalist in search of a story. Having lived and worked in London for nearly two decades, she now finds herself laid off from her full-time job and struggling to make ends meet. Until a phone call out of nowhere summons her back to Sydney, where her beloved grandmother, Nora, has suffered a fall and been raced to the hospital. At Nora’s house, Jess discovers a true crime book that chronicles the police investigation into a long-buried event: the Turner Family Tragedy of Christmas Eve, 1959. It is only when Jess skims through the pages that she finds a shocking connection between her own family and this once-infamous scandal – a murder mystery that has never been resolved satisfactorily.

... at least it left me a little dissatisfied as I found that the character of the grandmother (definitely nasty, manipulating, and only thinking of her own needs) was left ´hanging´ at the end of the book. Both her daughter and her granddaughter should have been able to see through all these manipulations but apparently did not. So in a way as a reader you are angry because Grandma (adored by her granddaughter) gets away with it.
Apart from that, a nice story with a few twists, a pleasure to listen to.

very strong british accent and fast talking made it quite hard for me to follow while driving. Had to repeat some passages.

Too strong an accent
