About this listen

Forty years ago, in the dark of the playground, two children's lives were changed forever.

Stella Darnell is a cleaner. But when she isn't tackling dust and dirt and restoring order to chaos, Stella solves murders. Her latest case concerns a man convicted of killing his mistress. His daughter thinks he's innocent, and needs Stella to prove it.

As Stella sifts through piles of evidence and interview suspects, she discovers a link between the recent murder and a famous case from 40 years ago: the shocking death of six-year-old Sarah Ferris, killed in the shadows of an empty playground.

Stella knows that dredging up the past can be dangerous. But as she pieces together the tragedy of what happened to Sarah, she is drawn into a story of jealousy, betrayal and the end of innocence. A story that has not yet reached its end....

Lots of good, evolving, characters and plot lines, along with mesmerizing narration. I was slightly put off by the way it jumped back and forth in time, but looking back, I think it was a very effective way to tell the whole story. Chilling and dark at first, with its depiction of the main antagonist’s horrible crimes. (I skipped some of it - too intense.) Then I had to listen to the last several chapters twice to get the sequence of events assembled correctly in my mind. I’m getting the next one right away!
