Description

"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.

      • content: Filled with unexpected twists and a cast of well-developed characters, this audiobook is an engaging listen. Twenty years ago, four friends traveling on the Devil's Corridor in southwest England get into a car accident. Three go missing afterward and are never found. The survivor, Olivia, has remained out of the spotlight since then. In the present day, journalist Jenna Halliday arrives to reinvestigate the accident. Joanne Froggatt voices Jenna as determined and compassionate, even when she's faced with threats. Clare Corbett voices Olivia as secretive but ultimately resolute. Their chapters alternate with occasional chapters focused on a group of friends in Thailand. As all the parts of the story come together, the pacing of the narrators perfectly matches the building tension and ultimate reveals. K.S.M. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine

        It's 1999 in Southwest England. After a night out drinking, Olivia Rutherford drives three friends home through the Devil's Corridor, a stretch of road rumored to be the site of strange happenings. Startled by a man in the street, Olivia veers off the road and crashes. She awakens, badly injured but alive, only to find that her friends are gone. Twenty years later, journalist Jenna Halliday is starting an investigative podcast about the disappearance of the girls, hoping that the interviews will turn up new clues. Jenna makes her way to Wilshire, a small village in the UK, where every person she meets has something to hide. Alternating between Olivia's and Jenna's perspectives, voiced by Claire Corbett and Joanne Frogatt respectively, each chapter adds a layer to the mystery. Listeners will be eager for more and may be shocked to find out how the pieces fit together. The audio's greatest strength is Frogatt's narration, which provides a realistic portrayal of the journalist balancing work with personal struggles. VERDICT Douglas's (The Couple at Number 9) rural winter setting creates an eerie sense of place. Great for readers looking for a captivating mystery with big reveals.--Meghan Bouffard
