Publisher's summary

“Claire Douglas is a mistress at weaving the reader into a web of domestic deceit.”—Jane Corry, author of The Dead Ex

A journalist’s life is threatened when she investigates the truth about a mysterious car crash that happened twenty years earlier in this gripping thriller from the internationally bestselling author of The Couple at Number 9 and Just Like the Other Girls.

A car accident.

Three missing girls.

A twenty-year mystery.

A woman on the verge of discovering the truth . . .

In a rural Wilshire town lies the Devil’s Corridor—a haunted road which has witnessed eerie happenings, from unexplained deaths to the sounds of a child crying in the night.

In this bucolic stretch of Southwest England famous for its otherworldly sites, nothing is more puzzling than the Olivia Rutherford case. Four girls were driving home. After their car crashed only one—Olivia—was found.

What happened to the girls who disappeared? On the twentieth anniversary of the tragedy, journalist Jenna Halliday has arrived in Wiltshire to cover the case. The locals aren’t happy with this outsider determined to dig into the past. Least of all Olivia.

Soon, Jenna starts receiving menacing notes. The locals have made it clear she’s not welcome. But someone is going to make her leave one way or another. Jenna’s been warned: she must get out of this town before she suffers a dark fate . . . and becomes another mystery attached to this place.

I found it engaging

Not sure why this hasn’t gotten more good reviews. This is exactly the sort of audible book I enjoy listening to, and this one did not disappoint.
Engaging and well written. And I really love anything read by Joanna Froggatt!! I hope she does more audible books.

I love this author... but didn't love this book

I thought this story was very hard to follow, and although the character development was ok, it wasn't what I've come to expect from this author.
It won't stop me from reading everything else she writes, it just wasn't my favorite

Why 2 narrators?

It was hard for me to concentrate on this book since there were 2 narrators used for no reason. They didn’t use one for certain characters and the other for others; it was a free for all! The worst part was I hated the nasal over enunciation of the one narrator. Why don’t authors pick narrators that have pleasant voices? Is it really that hard? A poor narrator can ruin an audiobook. I need to figure out which of the 2 narrators annoyed me and put them on my “list” of “Don’t purchase!” Ps- it is Claire Corbett
