A Josephine Tey mystery.
When Josephine Tey sets out to write a novel about the notorious Finchley baby farmers, her research helps to solve the recent sadistic murder of a young seamstress.

Customer Reviews

5 out of 5
“I really enjoyed this. It's very clever because there are layers of different times, and also very complex, intricately worked out layers of discovery. There's a wide range of characters, all very convincingly portrayed by the narrator, and the relationships between them are gradually revealed. The initial scene is two women being hanged for baby farming at the beginning of the twentieth century, and all the subsequent events are somehow related to these two women and their crimes. Deep relationships between women are subtly and delicately explored and a period feel is maintained throughout. It's one of those stories that keeps you thinking long after you've finished listening.”

Content Advisory
Whole Story Audiobooks has developed a unique system to guide you on the level of explicit content in our audiobooks. The system is applied against our titles to consistently rate levels of explicit language, sex and violence.
We consider not only frequency of content type but also the context: for example, strong language in a humorous setting is different from aggressive use of strong language.
Whilst there will always be subjectivity and different individuals views on this matter, we hope that you will find our content guide useful if these criteria form part of your selection process when choosing your next audiobook.
- Violence: Mild
- Sex: Mild
- Language: Mild
