A fresh start? Or the beginning of the end?

After she finds her husband drowned in a swimming pool, Georgia moves to a cottage nestled behind the ruins of Coventry Cathedral so she can be close to her daughter.

But strange things start to happen. Feeling watched and under threat, Georgia begins to realise that she can’t run from the past.

And somebody knows what she did…

The audiobook is spoiled by an incompetent narrator who mispronounces several words, most commonly 'Worcester' (she keeps pronouncing it as 'Woor-chester'. I found it really grating and would be interested to know how she attempts to pronounce Leicester...

The narrator can't pronounce Worcester!
