Simon Serrailler is faced with that most complicated of investigations - a cold case. Freak weather and flash floods have hit southern England. The small cathedral town of Lafferton is underwater, and a landslip on the moor has closed the roads. As the rain slowly drains away, a shallow grave - and a skeleton - is exposed; 20 years have passed, and the remains of missing teenager Joanne Lowther have finally been uncovered.

Joanne, an only child, had been on her way home from a friend's house that night. She was the daughter of a prominent local businessman, and her mother had killed herself two years after she disappeared, unable to cope.

Cold cases are always tough, and in this latest mystery in the acclaimed series from Susan Hill, Simon Serrailler is forced to confront his most grisly, dangerous, and complex case yet.

Amazingly gifted story writer. Each one of the books in this series were so enjoyable and Steven Pacey should win an award for his narration. Hoping for another in this series.

Just love Susan Hill

I love Hill's Serrailler series and so am treating myself to a second (and occasional third) listen to the whole series. Betrayal is a typical example but the treatment of its central themes and the characters involved are both especially engaging. Responsibility for bad actions, the conundrum of lives compromised by mental impairment, the right to die - huge moral questions dealt with in very real-life situations. I truly appreciate her evocative and thoughtful writing. She has her characters take philosophical stances that allow the reader to fold in their own without impatience or negatively dismissive responses - a rare achievement.

insightful and touching

This is my favorite in the series so far. The mystery and the characters! Simon's story advances quite a bit here, and the way the characters intertwine kept me intrigued in such a way that I had to force myself to stop and sleep. Could have gone thru this one in one go!

Had to stop myself to sleep - this is a good one

When two skeletons are unearthed during a flood, Serrailler finds himself with two cold cases, a woman that wants to commit suicide and a love interest that's married. Throw in a violent woman with dementia and a sketchy doctor. Somehow, Hill ties everything together. There are a few loose strings at the end.

I was able to stumble across this gem, due to the availability of the Audible Plus catalog. Having searched extensively for a new listen, as soon as I heard the narrator and the writing style of the author I knew it was the one for me. The author has the ability to write as though reading one’s thoughts. Atmospheric and descriptive, the author writes about, murder, life, death, love, sickness, aging, ethics and a number of those compromising niggling things in between, which fall between the bookends of black and white.

Great Audible Plus Find
