About this listen

What you spy is what you get. Or is it?

When a child trafficking network sets up a fake student exchange programme, families from around the world fall for it. Seventeen-year-old Kendall jets off on what she believes will be a Californian adventure. First stop: a luxurious hillside mansion for 'Orientation Week'.

Blinded by the opulence and their own naivety, the youngsters cavort. Meanwhile hidden cameras transmit images to international buyers of them flirting, sleeping, bathing and playing.

Slowly, Kendall begins to suspect that something is wrong.

Escape is impossible. The house is sealed tight. They are also being managed from within. One of them is a traitor, a 'Judas Goat,' subtly curating their thoughts, sabotaging their every bid for freedom. But who?

Kendall must persuade the other students that they are all prey. Together they must uncover the Judas Goat and find a way out, or they will be sold to the highest bidder. They only have a week.

I bought The House of the Judas Goat audiobook and was hooked from the very start. I loved the touch of South African references and humour woven through the story. It’s a gripping, emotional tale that, especially as a parent fills you with that creeping fear of how easily this could happen. I found myself hanging on every chapter, eager to know what would happen next. I truly hope there’s a sequel!
