About this listen

It's the perfect getaway. Until there's no way out.

The weekend-long Murder Tour ends with an evening at Black Tarn Lodge which seems to offer everything for 'dark tourists'. Not only is it a magnificent Gothic mansion nestling deep in the remote Forest of Bowland, it once belonged to deceased horror legend, Edgar Karnwood, and is now filled with costumes and mementoes from his many movies. Offering an elegant dinner and the screening of a legendary lost film, it's the ideal way to complete the Tour. Until night falls and a thick fog isolates the house. Until all the guests' phones go missing. And then, one by one, they start vanishing...

When a body is found, is it an accident or murder? Asking why is no priority, because suddenly everyone is cut off. No one can leave the Lodge or even call for help. They don't even know each other that well, but they're going to have to work out who they can trust soon. Because whoever's behind this slaying, he or she plainly isn't finished yet.

And who will be next? No one is safe at Black Tarn Lodge.

From Sunday Times bestseller Paul Finch comes a Gothic destination thriller that will leave you breathless. Perfect for fans of Laura Purcell, Ruth Ware and Lucy Foley.

Critic Reviews

‘As dark as the atmosphere that pervades this narrative…Akin to the Impossible Crimes or Locked Room mysteries of Dame Agatha Christie or John Dickson Carr…Highly recommended.’—Ali Karim, shotsMag

‘It’s a cracker…Claustrophobic, tense and thrilling. Like The Traitors but with real murders.’—David Barnett, author of Withered Hill and Scuttler’s Cove
