About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
Elise King is a successful and ambitious detective—or she was, before medical leave left her unsure if she'd ever return to work. She now spends most days watching the growing tensions in her small seaside town of Ebbing: the weekenders in their fancy clothes, renovating old bungalows into luxury homes, and the locals resentful of the changes.
Elise can only guess what really happens behind closed doors. But Dee Eastwood, her cleaner, often knows. She's an invisible presence in many of the houses in town, but she sees and hears everything.
The conflicts in town boil over when a newcomer wants to put Ebbing on the map with a giant music festival and two teenagers overdose on drugs. When a man also disappears the first night of the festival, Elise is drawn back into her detective work and starts digging for answers. Ebbing is a small town, but it's full of myriad secrets and hidden connections that run deeper and darker than Elise could have ever imagined.

Enjoyable
An entertaining listen, well structured with some surprises and effectively narrated. Characters a bit two dimensional.

A good story terrible narration from the Dee the cleaner
The overall story was good but no where near as good the previous books by the author
The narrator who played Dee was so irritatingly slow!!!

Enjoyable
Yet another page turner from F Barton. Such a pleasure to follow her characters and to untangle the story.
Thank you very much Ms Barton!

Good story line, but difficult to follow
Had to really concentrate on this book initially, although it seemed to pull together well at the end.

Missing the team from the previous 3
This was good, however, the previous 3 have been so brilliant that I was a bit disappointed with this one. I was looking forward to hearing more about the main characters in the previous books, but they didn’t feature this time. The plot in this one wasn’t as strong as the previous three either, though it’s still full of suspense.
The narration in this was as consistently good as in previous Fiona Barton books, so no criticisms there.
All in all, I can’t help feeling that if I hadn’t already listened to 3 previous Fiona Barton books all of which had me on the edge of my seat, I’d probably be raving about how good this is, but the others were better. I think I might re-listen to the first 3 now.

Good story, shame about one of narrators
Another good Fiona Barton story but a word3 choice for one of the narrators who is supposed to be 27 but sounds much older.
Worth a listen though.

Enjoyable tale with some nice complexities
I've enjoyed this authors previous work and, while I perhaps didn't quite like this one as much, I found this a good story that had enough complexity and depth to keep you guessing and learning about the characters histories throughout. Perhaps a little stretch of the imagination that they all arrived in the same town, but I'll let that go. Good engaging performances bringing the text to life.

Overlong
Really hard to find any likeable characters in this book. Story was drawn out unnecessarily. Have to agree that one of the narrators was very poor. Monotonal Dee!
