About this audiobook
Cornwall, 1887. A lighthouse keeper is dead at the foot of his tower, and his wife is the only person who saw him fall.
Maud Rennie swears she saw a man on the rocks. The village swears there was no one there but her. The inquest calls it an accident. The magistrate calls it murder, and Maud is the one on trial.
Thirty years later, a young barrister opens a box of letters that were never meant to leave the headland. Maud's account of that night — of a drinking husband, a corrupt inspector, a name no one would hear — is inside.
A Victorian historical mystery and an absolutely unputdownable psychological thriller, told across two timelines, about a woman whose only crime was being believed by no one.
