About this listen

A brand-new book from award-winning author Kate Morton, read by powerhouse Emmy award–winning actress Claire Foy. This breathtaking mystery of love, lies and a cold case come back to life is told with Morton's trademark intricacy and beauty.

Adelaide Hills, Christmas Eve, 1959. At the end of a scorching hot day, beside a creek in the grounds of a grand and mysterious house, a local deliveryman makes a terrible discovery. A police investigation is called, and the small town of Tambilla becomes embroiled in one of the most shocking and perplexing murder cases in the history of South Australia.

Many years later and thousands of miles away, Jess is a journalist in search of a story. Having lived and worked in London for nearly two decades, she now finds herself laid off from her full-time job and struggling to make ends meet. Until a phone call out of nowhere summons her back to Sydney, where her beloved grandmother, Nora, has suffered a fall and been raced to the hospital.

At Nora’s house, Jess discovers a true crime book that chronicles the police investigation into a long-buried event: the Turner Family Tragedy of Christmas Eve, 1959. It is only when Jess skims through the pages that she finds a shocking connection between her own family and this once-infamous scandal – a murder mystery that has never been resolved satisfactorily.

Australia

I looked at a map to realize the breath of homecoming. From the Great War to south Australia to Sidney, to London and back. The author took me to a place of wonder. How people lived and loved in trying times. An enjoyable read.

Well worth the wait

I bought this the day it was released, I had been waiting for months and it was worth it. I loved it from beginning to end. I had an idea of where it was going but then there were added twists I hadn’t seen. It kept my interest through every page and I loved the feeling of the country how the story unfolded. Thank you Kate Morton. I’m ready for more please!
