Acerca de esta escucha

There are some secrets you just can’t bury.

A gripping Audible Original for fans of Jane Harper’s The Dry and Sarah Pearse’s The Sanatorium, The Teacher’s Lie is a psychological thriller set on the harsh and rugged South Australian coast, performed by Mia Wasikowska (Alice in Wonderland, The Kids Are All Right).

It’s been two years since Anna Cartwright’s life fell apart. During her first school trip as a young teacher, a student went missing and was never found. Not only was her career ruined, she was also accused of having an affair with fellow teacher and prime suspect Graham. Facing questions from journalists, police and family, Anna said she didn’t know what happened. She was lying.

Now, Anna has returned to Australia. Her only hope is Land’s End Area School, an isolated concrete wasteland perched on the cliffs. The failing institution is so understaffed that it is the one place her history might remain hidden. But while the eccentric Headmistress seems welcoming, deputy-head Miss Baxter seems determined to expose her secrets.

With new lies spinning out of control, how long can Anna keep her secret hidden? And is she being haunted by her guilt or by something far more sinister?

Not a winner

The narration was ok but overall story pretty much could be summed up as lackluster. No gems, no characters with which one could connect. Seemed more like a quick audible production to create content.

Not worth the time

Poorly constructed story. The author's attempt to create suspense and tension totally fails. The protagonist getting "a creepy feeling" or "tingles on the back of my neck" over and over again, and for no particular reason, doesn't create suspense. Details about her past are vague and as they emerge, they are not particularly interesting. Characters that seemed ominous at first, became friendly, then ominous, then friendly -- it didn't make sense. Some of the scenes are simply illogical and unbelievable. The characters' voices were so similar it was sometimes difficult to remember who was speaking. I hung in there to the end because I had nothing better to do, but I frequently thought about just abandoning the book altogether.
