About this listen

A haunting crime novel of two sisters - one has vanished, the other is behind bars....

Snow Delaney was born a generation and a world away from her sister, Agnes.

Until recently, neither even knew of the other's existence. They came together only for the reading of their father's will - when Snow discovered, to her horror, that she was not the sole beneficiary of his large estate.

Now Snow is in prison and Agnes is missing, disappeared in the eerie red dust that blanketed Sydney from dawn on September 23, 2009.

With no other family left, Snow turns to crime journalist Jack Fawcett, protesting her innocence in a series of defiant letters from prison. Has she been unfairly judged? Or will Jack's own research reveal a story even more shocking than the one Snow wants to tell?

The ending sucked. What a let down. The story was not bad though but not worth the time in my opinion.

They reading was a delight

The narration was spot on! Very much enjoyed listening. I do get so frustrated with any story that ends the way this one did but at the same time the ending and way it was written is brilliant!

Disappointing Ending

The book is very slow to begin. I was bored for the first few hours. Then things start getting interesting and the book ends. I like the idea of the story but I wish it had gotten going quicker and that the ending had been more tidy.

LOVED IT, HATED IT!

I’m purposely posting this wishy washy review because I now understand the reviews I read before starting this book. They were often ambivalent. I can’t decide whether or not the feelings that flip-flopped back and forth were a bad thing. At one point the names and relationships got so confusing I started over. I have to admit that Snow had me fooled for a while. So I guess my final decision is that it was a horrendous story with an ending that was disappointing. Despite all that, I’m glad I listened.

Maddening

Narration was quite good. I felt let down at the end. It was a sad, quite disturbing story. Thankfully, no vulgar language. There is horrible child abuse. I would not read it again.

This is a horror story!

I recently discovered Caroline Overington and I love the format of these books. This was truly a horror story even though it was not presented as that. The format is a series of letters between a journalist and a female prisoner in jail. The first impression is that it's about the disappearance of a woman. But no!!!! It turns into a horror story instead. The relevance of the title does not surface until Chapter 24. I literally couldn't stop listening!
