  • Summary

  • Contains strong language and adult themes.

    The idyllic quiet of a picture postcard English village is shattered when a book club member is murdered by his former student and lover.

    But why would anyone kill a retired English teacher, a pillar of his community? Perhaps the answer lies in the trail of writing that he, and his killer, left behind: diaries, poems and novels.

    Documentary maker Gillian Pachter lifts the lace curtain to reveal a secret wedding, sordid affairs, drug abuse and psychological torture. She enlists the help of James, a former student of the victim, to try and uncover the truth. Buried memories from James' school days provide the final piece of the puzzle, and unlock a dark episode from Gillian’s own past.

    A Vespucci, Big Light and Dorothy Street production for Audible. Executive Producer: Frank Spotnitz.

Just okay

The title is misleading. Not great.
This is just not worth the time. Sad all around but not very interesting. A lot of filler. You could listen to the first and last two episodes and have all the information.

Drinking Game

The drinking game I suggest involves taking a shot every time the narrator mentions they attended Oxford University. I hope your liver is up to the challenge :).
