Summary
Senior Detective Kate Wakeland senses dark undercurrents in her beloved small town, Tallman's Valley.
She's glimpsed a silent town lying beneath the valley – a place where the streets and landscapes are the same, but where daylight never reaches. But as Kate begins to investigate the silent town, a shocking multiple shooting occurs on the mountain that bookends the valley, Witness Mountain.
Kate is forced to suspend all else and focus on the case at hand. How did a frail, elderly man manage to shoot his family? Did he have the help of his grandson, a teenage boy who can't account for his whereabouts that morning?
The height of a devastating fire season hinders Kate at every turn. Through the smoky veil hanging in the valley, Kate begins to suspect a connection between the Witness Mountain shootings and the silent town.
But the dangers are far greater than Kate ever imagined. There are people who will kill to conceal what they know and what they've done.

Good end to a good trilogy
I've really enjoyed this series. Caroline Lee narrates really well unless it comes to accents which she is comically terrible at, hence the 3 stars- unfortunately it can detract from the story. There are some well thought out characters and interwoven plots that run across the trilogy that keep you interested. The only thing was a bit too much explaining at the end of the book instead of everything unraveling through the story itself.

Brilliant
Great series. Such a good story. Brilliant red herrings and twists. Love this author. Narrator does a great job and makes all the characters believable- except a slightly dodgy Irish accent and very dodgy English accent that sounded like the chimney sweep off Mary Poppins! Ignorable for the story though. Worth the credit without doubt.

Multilayered and mesmerising
A fabulous interwoven plot. I sat in my car outside my house for over an hour to hear the ending!
The narrator was excellent apart from the terrible Irish accent which was quite off putting.
Definitely worth it though!

An excellent novel that rounds off the trilogy
First of all, let me say that I know not everyone finds Caroline Lee's narration great but I do. The characters' voices are clearly distinguishable but it's the quality of the narration that really makes the listening experience - there's something about the narrator's tone and pace that really helps set the scene and take the listener to the events.
The book itself is superb. It brings together the series by showing the complexity of the characters as well as the histories. At no point did I think 'it's too long' - the almost 16 hours of listening was enthralling. A great story and one that will stay with me for some time to come. For goodness sake though, listen to the other two by Anne Taylor first.

Great listening
As usual lots of twists and turn. We’ll performed (apart from the Australian/Welsh/Scottish/Indian/New Zealand accent!!) but generally great to listen too and enjoyed the story.
Working my way through the entire series.
