About this listen

This brilliantly written thriller explores the lives - and deaths - of two girls and what they will do to win justice. Sure to be one of the most talked-about audiobooks of the year!

Nothing's been the same for Beth Teller since the day she died.

Her dad is drowning in grief. He's also the only one who has been able to see and hear her since the accident. But now, she's got a mystery to solve, a mystery that will hopefully remind her detective father that he needs to reconnect with the living.

The case takes them to a remote Australian town where there's been a suspicious fire. All that remains are an unidentifiable body and an unreliable witness found wandering nearby. This witness speaks in riddles. Isobel Catching has a story to tell, and it's a tale to haunt your dreams - but does it even connect to the case at hand?

As Beth and her father unravel the mystery, they find a shocking and heartbreaking story lurking beneath the surface of a small town.

What the critics say

Winner of Australia's prestigious Victorian Premier's Literary Award for Writing for Young Adults

"An #ownvoices story that empowers its female heroines, giving them pride in their lineage and power in remembering." (Kirkus Reviews)

"An intense, addictive book. Shocking and heartbreaking truths come to light, and the book deftly examines racism, violence, terrible historic injustices and corruption within the police force. This is a book that shows trauma and survival. It's completely gripping, and while highly recommended for young adults, it also deserves a wider readership." (Readings, Australia)

"A fusion of ghost story and crime thriller, it also combines poetry and fiction to striking and exciting effect." (The Saturday Paper, Australia)

Clearly a must read! To know, or miss out BIG!

My mind seeks understanding, my heart screams WHY?...over and over again...sin it is: the ONLY explanation!
Took a little getting used to the slight accent of the narrator Mss Tapsell, however her great dramatization just engulfed me all in the story. Following alongside the hardcopy book sometimes slightly different to get shortly confused but then would find myself at the next sentence or so.

Eye opener; people, History must be told, is anyone listening? Fight ignorance: -"Knowledge can be a weapon, Iz." ~Isobel Catching's mum.
