About this listen

THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES TOP 5 BESTSELLER AND START OF A THRILLING NEW SERIES: AT MIDNIGHT, ONE OF THEM IS DEAD. BY MORNING, ALL OF THEM ARE SUSPECTS . . .

On New Year's Eve, Rhys Lloyd has a house full of guests.

His lakeside holiday homes are a success, and he's generously invited the village to drink champagne with their wealthy new neighbours. This will be the party to end all parties.

But not everyone is there to celebrate. By midnight, Rhys will be floating dead in the freezing waters of the lake.

On New Year's Day, DC Ffion Morgan has a village full of suspects.

The tiny community is her home, so the suspects are her neighbours, friends and family - and Ffion has her own secrets to protect.

With a lie uncovered at every turn, soon the question isn't who wanted Rhys dead . . . but who finally killed him.

In a village with this many secrets, a murder is just the beginning.

The best kind of mystery- a brilliant setting, a multitude of unpleasant characters vs good people, and a truly complex tapestry of storylines brought together in a beautifully easy read. And a possible love story too. Loved it!

Very enjoyable mystery with lots of strands all coming together

Enjoyed the listen, lots of twist and turns. A lot of conflict of interest that required a leap of faith, got a little bit muddled with all of the characters…but overall a very good listen

Got long and lost in the middle

Brilliant. Listen to this one you will be enthralled and just when you think it’s all over……

I can’t wait to hear the next one!

The story line kept me hooked throughout, it had twists and kept me guessing. The book is not overly complex with numerous characters or descriptions. I can easily see this as a Netflix series one day.

Be seeing this on Netflix one day

I thought it was going to be a pretty straightforward plot, but the way Clare Mackintosh retraced her steps to expand on something that had been a fairly casual happening, from the other person’s point of view was brilliant…. Kept me guessing right up to the end …. And actually the heroine is not squeaky clean …. But human …. And sometimes her actions are somewhat questionable …. I’m certainly looking forward to the next book in the series … nice little bit of romance as an undercurrent too!!

Keeps you guessing

I loved this title so much. Kept me gripped and I know it’ll take a while to fully move on to my next book! So pleased there’s more to come from Ffion & co. The narrator is excellent too.

Highly recommend this book!

Fantastic book

I am a fan of this author, but I didn’t enjoy this book as much as I would have thought. Hopefully, the next book in the series is going to be better…

A bit disappointed
