About this listen

By 2.30am the whereabouts of most of the kids was known. Most – but not all. Because, for a small handful of parents, there was no response to their frantic calls and messages.

No wordless reunions and fierce hugs. These parents – the truly unlucky ones – plunged headlong into the awful realisation that their child had been involved in the night’s events …

The final goodbye is the hardest …

When a car carrying five teenagers home from a party crashes into a brick wall, the consequences are devastating – not just for the young people directly involved, but also for their families, their friends and the wider community.

No one escapes unscathed, but some are more deeply scarred than others and one of the group will not survive. In their grief and confusion, those left behind question who was to blame for the accident – and what price they will pay.

A haunting and emotionally affecting story about love and loyalty, grief and forgiveness.

Great book. Spoilt by the narration.

The book was completely engaging. All the characters were believable and there were reasons to like and empathise with all of them with the exception of Dom. The plot moved at a good pace.
The narration was not good. Very strange pacing at times. And very slow, I had to speed it up. He kept lapsing into short snatches of slightly different accents which were never consistent with the characters. The over riding pronunciation seemed to be Australian which was weird when all the action occurred in England. Finally, some of his word pronunciation was dreadful.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
