About this listen

Paul Worthington just confessed to a murder that never happened.

Magdalene Lynton died 40 years ago: a vivacious teenager who fell victim to a grotesque, accidental drowning. The coroner's office issued a verdict of death by misadventure and filed her case. The farming commune she'd lived within, splintered apart. Her body was left behind in a small, private cemetery encircled by acres of fallow ground.

Until Paul Worthington confessed to her murder.

Magdalene's case lands with Ngaire Blakes, a Maori detective recovering from a brutal stabbing. After fighting for the resources to investigate, Ngaire discovers that Paul's confession doesn't fit with the facts of Magdalene's death. The trouble is, neither does the original verdict.

Together with her partner, Deb, Ngaire digs deeper into the case to uncover inconsistencies, lies, and mortal danger.

This was a well-paced story that was fun to listen to, but the main character is kind of a hot mess. It was hard to believe she didn’t get killed or at least fired for all the crazy choices she made, let alone that she’s supposed to be a star detective. Still a fun listen though!

Enjoyable but not believable procedural
