Great Novella

Great story, classic thriller subplot would highly recommend. Great narration throughout easy to listen to in a evening.

Good stories can come in small packages!

A short but enthralling masterclass by Dervla McTiernan and read by the lovely voice of Aoife McMahon. I particularly enjoyed the build up of tension in this story focused on one person over a relatively short timeframe. It would translate very well to the screen - big or small.

Excellent introduction

What a great intro to a new series! Good idea to offer it as a membership free listen so that we don’t have to invest in part two of something we haven’t yet heard. It has a nice little shock for you towards the end too, so well worth the 2+ hours invested to discover a fantastic new series.

Plot slightly too pedestrian for me

The main character had the maturity of a young teenage, rather than an adult. Her nativity became grating after a while.
