About this listen

It's 1965 and Rosie Churchill has arrives at run-down Castaway House. But when she uncovers a scandal locked away in the old house, she soon realises that secrets never stay buried for long.

In 1924 fresh-faced Robert Carver comes to Castaway House to spend the summer with his cousin, Alec Bray. But the Brays are a damaged family. As Rosie begins to learn more about Robert, the more their stories, old and new, entwine.

I enjoyed this tale the two perspectives were interesting and I liked the way the tale gradually unfolded. It kept me interested throughout

Good story well read

All is complete for this audible book. The story line, narration. I thoroughly enjoyed lustening to this book. Highly recommended.

A beautiful novel; perfect performance

Written in dual narrative, this is the story of a murder from two very different points of view. The first narrative tells how events led up the murder whilst the other describes how it continued to effect lives many years later. Warm, well written and flawless plot. Loved it.

Fabulously rich story-telling

The many twists and turns, plus the obvious parallel timeline of this book maintains the listener's interest. It is easy listening, although how the female narrator depicts 2 of the characters as slightly vague (or read as 'drippy'!) isn't so appealing. It's not too hard a change to swallow if like me, you're normally a noir / thriller fan but fancy a change!

Surprised how much I enjoyed this book
