About this listen
"Let me out! Please...." My tiny fists pound the door, but my voice reverberates off the stone walls and hangs in the air as if suspended by spider’s webs. No one comes....
Years later, a woman is found face-down in a pool of blood. Detective Lottie Parker is called to the remote farmhouse in the bleak Irish countryside. Inside, she finds a scene that speaks of uncontrollable rage: glasses smashed, chairs ripped apart, the woman’s body broken.
A black rain jacket makes Lottie think she knows the killer’s identity, but then she finds a disturbing clue: is the murder linked to an old case at St Declan’s asylum - a case investigated by her own father, just before he took his life?
When another victim is left without her tongue on the hospital steps, and a young girl goes missing, Lottie knows she has to act fast. Can she face her own demons and uncover the truth before another life is taken?
An absolutely gripping book from the best-selling author of The Missing Ones and The Stolen Girls. If you love Rachel Abbott, Angela Marsons, or Robert Dugoni, you’ll be completely hooked.

Too many characters.
I found it very hard to keep track of the characters in this story.
Throw in first and last names, and I was lost.

Just loved this
This is the second time I have listened to this audiobook and I was just as enthralled now as the first time. The storyline was extremely interesting and convoluted and the surprise ending was a kicker. I would also thank the narrator for making the story come alive…she is amazing. This author and narrator are a deadly combination…a force to be reckoned with for sure.

Very confusing
The story itself was interesting but by the end of the book I was very confused and had to force myself to finish. Too many characters !

ok
So here's the thing. The protagonist is an addict. It is very hard to be compassionate towards her, even though, yes, it is an illness, because of how her addictions impact her children (and her job) Her kids are a mess and it is infuriating. She's useless at both parenting and police work.
That whole thing takes up a good chunk of the story, and it's in no way enjoyable.
The other thing is, I'm not sure of were supposed to like her or root for her or not. I feel like the author wants us to like her/find her sympathetic? I think it might have been less aggravating if we were actually meant to kind of hate her, or at least understand that she's, currently, irredeemable. I can't really explain it, just that the fact that we're supposed to like her makes it that much worse. I just get so angry, which is a testament to the writing, I guess. She's very realistically written, not a BAD person, but a selfish, ineffectual woman-child, a perpetual victim who won't accept responsibility for her actions. She means well and wants to help, but she can't until she gets some help, herself.
And then sadsack Boyd who absolutely deserves her. And her comically awful kids, who come by it honestly, and her trope of a mother. Yeah, the characters are all maddening, and, unfortunately, it's a character driven story.
The mystery was ok, but pretty forgettable. It felt like filler, only there to pad out the introduction of the next disaster to hit the Parker family, an adoption scandal, and psychotic long-lost relatives.
Why do I keep coming back for more?
