About this listen
The Vanishing Act
By Claire Winfield
In the quiet Yorkshire village of Beckwith, the disappearance of librarian Eleanor Bird barely ripples the surface—until Detective Inspector Martha Davies is called in. At first glance, Eleanor seems like the kind of woman who might slip away unnoticed: quiet, solitary, unremarkable. But as Martha begins to unravel the threads of her life, a different picture emerges—one of a woman with a radical past, hidden names, and secrets buried deeper than the village wants to admit.
With the help of Eleanor’s anxious colleague Penny, and a growing unease that something in Beckwith is being carefully covered up, Martha follows a trail of sketches, lost letters, and long-silenced truths. What happened in Leeds in 1976? Who is the mysterious Sebastian Harrow? And what does the unmarked grave behind the church truly conceal?
In this evocative literary mystery about identity, guilt, and the cost of reinvention, The Vanishing Act asks: how far would you go to escape your past—and what happens when it comes looking for you?
