The Confession

Written by Maureen Myant

Narrated by Corinne Davies

A house on a quiet street on the southside of Glasgow. Neat, terraced homes with manicured lawns and pruned trees. Not the sort of place that reeks of decay or where dead bluebottles pile up on a windowsill. When the police break in, there’s a surprise in store for them. They find Julie Campbell’s decaying body at her desk, her laptop open beside her. She’s a well-liked, respectable woman. On the laptop is a confession – to five murders. There’s one major problem though - only one of the victims she names is actually dead. DI Mark Nicholson is persuaded by his boss DCI Alex Scrimgeour that the confession is a fantasy, and to drop the case, but Mark senses there’s more to it than meets the eye. As he delves further, the darkest of secrets are revealed, and everyone around him is dragged into a vortex of fear, danger and murder. No one is beyond suspicion as The Confession becomes a murderous reality.

[Lara Pretorius · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Enjoyable listen a bit long winded but I suppose all info was necessary to the story. Narrator did a great job ?

[Tracy pye · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

This story was really good a different take I've never read before..the narrator though was, for me,hard to listen to I couldn't decide if she was Scottish or Irish it kept mixing between the two and not very well. Turns out she's American! Well that explained a lot.
All in all worth a listen if you try and ignore the bad accent.
