About this listen
“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.

Twenty-five years later, tragedy strikes again when Heather walks into a stranger's house and allegedly kills two people in cold blood.

Story
It's been 19 years since ten-year-old Laurel was given a life sentence and six-year-old Rosie was given a new identity.

But then an act of unparalleled horror tears their family apart, leaving Laurel behind bars. Neither sister has laid eyes on the other since then, during which time their lives have followed very different paths.

Just what I expected
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
the story started out great just enough mystery to make you wonder whether the culprit was supernatural or just plain natural. There were some slow spots and the tumeline got a little skewed but over all the pacing was pretty good. I also liked the mystery of who the second group of characters were and how they tied into the story. Curiosity kept me going.
stop now to avoid spoilers.
there were a couple of loose ends I don't think got addressed by the end. First its never made clear what actually caused the accident. next Jean Paul's brother is introduced and interacted with twice then never mentioned again. if he was so desperate to find his brother that he was chasing leads all over the world wouldn't he have been interested to find out Olivia was his neice? but they never get introduced to each other?
Great narrator story had loose ends
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
