About this listen

 Lesley Jameson believes that she has everything in life that one could desire, loving parents, a great career, respect, money. But with the death of her parents she is shocked to discover that she is not their daughter, but an adopted child. She becomes obsessed with discovering her roots, even though she is warned that no good can come of delving into the past. Who is Marion? What did she fear to the point where death itself was preferable to facing it? Who is the shadowy figure that could be her father? What terrible secrets lay hidden by the unknown Mrs X who lived just long enough to bring her baby into the world? From being totally self sufficient and confident Lesley is slowly reduced to the state where she no longer believes in anything that she once valued so highly, and when the stark truth of her origins is finally brought home to her it all becomes too much to cope with. Simon, who has been helping her in her quest suddenly realises that there is only one way she can be saved, but can he possibly be in time? Revised - June 2014 (From Chapter Fifteen) “An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth,” Jim cut in softly as her eyes swung from Mrs Manners to her husband, “that’s what it says in the bible. Did you know that this is the very place where our Linda was found? Looks so, well, ordinary don’t it? Well, I’ll tell you something; this place is very special. You know why? Because its ‘aunted! If you listen very carefully you might just ‘ear the faint echoes of Linda’s last croaks as ‘er life was choked out of ‘er. Can’t you just ‘ear them sounds echoing round you? No? Well, you bein’ an ‘artly wouldn’t I suppose, but I can ‘ear ‘em! If you listened real ‘ard, you might ‘ear ‘em too! The last terrified pleadings of an innocent kiddie; made as ‘er life was being squeezed out of ‘er body by the animal that fathered you!” Mystery Traditional Detectives
