About this listen
They say she’s a murderess. She claims she’s innocent. But Lucy has been known to tell lies....
1855, New Hampshire. Lucy Blunt is set to hang for a double murder. Murderess or victim? Only Lucy knows the truth.
In the shadow of the gallows, Lucy reflects on the events that led to her bitter downfall - from the moment she arrived at the rambling Burton mansion looking for work and a better life to the grisly murders themselves.
In a mysterious household of locked doors and forbidden affections, Lucy slips comfortably into the shadows, where she believes the indiscretions of her past will remain hidden. But when Lucy’s rising status becomes a threat to the mistress’s current companion, the delicate balance of power and loyalty begins to shift, setting into motion a brewing storm of betrayal, suspicion, and rage.
Now, with her execution looming closer, Lucy’s allies fight to have her sentence overturned as the tale she’s spinning nears its conclusion. But how much of her story can we trust? After all, Lucy’s been known to bend the truth....

Critic reviews
"Narrator Ann Etter presents Lucy's distressing story, speaking in a voice that is, by turns, strong, resigned, contemplative, and morose...well written and convincingly presented." (AudioFile)
“A captivating tale of psychological suspense.” (Publishers Weekly)

Perhaps with a different voice actor …
Much as I wanted to enjoy this (and I did; I kept dropping the story but curiosity kept reeling me back in) I found the narrator’s voice jarring. It is entirely possible that the voice actor’s performance was intended to be exactly that but I felt that the listening experience was not as engrossing as it could have been due to this passive monotone.
