About this listen
Eighty years of secrets. A body that reveals them all.
1941. Rupert and Adelaide Stride are raising their two daughters, Clare and Rosa, in the midst of war. When Rupert is called to fight, he dies on the beaches of Dunkirk, leaving his family to fend for themselves.
2023. Decades later, Clare and Rosa have retreated to the annex, trapped in the place where they were raised: Yew Tree House.
When the rooms are put up for rent, Jack Harmon sees the perfect spot for a family holiday with his twins and detective Stella Darnell. But then the children discover a skeleton with a hole in its skull hidden in the brambles of a decommissioned WWII pill box.
This home has always been a complicated one, but Stella and Jack will need to confront a history of revenge, desperation, and wartime tragedy to uncover the truth of what happened at Yew Tree House...
The must-listen psychological procedural in the Detective's Daughter series from critically acclaimed author, Lesley Thomson, for fans of Elly Griffiths, Val McDermid and Mari Hannah.

A Step Back in Time.
Really enjoyable listen.
The new book in the Detective's Daughter Series was eagerly anticipated. This did not disappoint. It was great to meet up with Stella, Jack and all the old friends again. I loved the past and present day aspect and the setting in the Wartime house provided such an intriguing focal point to the mystery. The main characters' relationship had reached a turning point so their holiday posed a big question for Stella.The Narrator was very good at taking the listener back in time to 1940's village life where secrets were buried.

Excellent mystery set in the past and present
It was lovely to be back with Stella and Jack, and to have Toni Kemp’s cameo with her chocolate bars was brilliant :) A fantastic nostalgic read exploring past and present day issues, with clever twists and turns until the end. Lesley is one of our best crime writers and this series keeps getting better! Narrator is great too.
