Summary

After the screen of a run-down drive-in movie theater collapses and kills four people, the daughter of one of the victims asks private investigator Cal Weaver to look into a recent break-in at her father's house. Cal discovers a hidden basement room where it's clear that salacious activities have taken place - as well as evidence of missing DVDs. But his investigation soon becomes more complicated when he realises the DVDs may contain something even more shocking.

Meanwhile, Detective Barry Duckworth is still trying to solve two murders - one of which is three years old - he believes are connected, since each featured a similar distinctive wound.

As the lies begin to unravel, Cal is headed straight into the heart of a dark secret as his search uncovers more startling truths about Promise Falls. And when yet another murder happens, Cal and Barry are both driven to pursue their investigations, no matter where they lead. Evil deeds long thought buried are about to haunt the residents of this town - as the sins of the past and present collide with terrifying results.

A very strong part of Barclay's novels is his strong characters - both believable and deep. Of course there is also usually a good plot, here not as good as some, but this is almost secondary to our interest in the characters who people his books

Full if interesting characters

I love the promise falls series, getting to see the character development is so interesting. The amount of times you think you have figured out who and what has happened, you get thrown another curveball.

Amazing twists and turns

A thrilling listen. I like these actors as their intonation is pitched just right and they're a pleasure to listen to. I particularly like that they don't overdo the female or children's voices.

Good actors.
