    About this audiobook

    For thirty years, Howard and Deborah Morgan have poured all their energy and modest savings into Stoneyridge, a smallholding deep in the English moors. Howard putters with pottery, Deborah dabbles in weaving, and both struggle to tend sheep and chickens and live off the land. But what began with simple dreams of solitude and sunlit picnics in the hills has given way to a harsher reality. To help with finances, they decide to turn Stoneyridge into a bed-and-breakfast. But a sudden stroke leaves Howard incapacitated and Deborah overwhelmed. Then, late one evening, two men arrive needing a room for the night - and set off a chain of events that uncovers the relics of old tragedies. And through it all, Stoneyridge quietly hides the bitter and transformative truth.

    Morag Joss

    Morag Joss’s writing career began in 1996 when her first short story won an award in a national competition. Starting to write, she says, meant “discovering a lifelong ambition I didn’t know I had.” Joss’s first three novels comprise the Sara Selkirk Mysteries, the first of which, Funeral Music, was a finalist for the Dilys Award. Half Broken Things won the Crime Writers’ Association’s Silver Dagger Award and was later adapted into a TV film starring Penelope Wilton, and The Night Following was nominated for the Edgar Award for Best Novel. Some critics describe Joss’s work as psychological suspense and others as literary fiction. She received a PhD from Oxford Brookes University in 2014 and is now at work on her ninth novel, Good to Go.
