Publisher Description

Narrated by Claire Foy, Homecoming is a brand new title from multi-million copy bestselling author Kate Morton.

A brand-new book from award-winning author Kate Morton, read by powerhouse Emmy award–winning actress Claire Foy. This breathtaking mystery of love, lies and a cold case come back to life is told with Morton's trademark intricacy and beauty.

Adelaide Hills, Christmas Eve, 1959. At the end of a scorching hot day, beside a creek in the grounds of a grand and mysterious house, a local deliveryman makes a terrible discovery. A police investigation is called, and the small town of Tambilla becomes embroiled in one of the most shocking and perplexing murder cases in the history of South Australia.

Many years later and thousands of miles away, Jess is a journalist in search of a story. Having lived and worked in London for nearly two decades, she now finds herself laid off from her full-time job and struggling to make ends meet. Until a phone call out of nowhere summons her back to Sydney, where her beloved grandmother, Nora, has suffered a fall and been raced to the hospital.

At Nora’s house, Jess discovers a true crime book that chronicles the police investigation into a long-buried event: the Turner Family Tragedy of Christmas Eve, 1959. It is only when Jess skims through the pages that she finds a shocking connection between her own family and this once-infamous scandal – a murder mystery that has never been resolved satisfactorily.

Sillybrit ,

Kate Morton strikes gold again!

I finished this book a couple of weeks ago and I’m still thinking about it. I thought I wouldn’t like it as much as Kate’s other work as there’s not much of an English element but I was wrong - it was spellbinding!

I only knocked a star off because of the narrator. There were quite a few silly mistakes that could’ve been avoided with research and attention to detail: for example Smythson the stationers is pronounced Smythe-son not Smith-son, and a person speaking RP would pronounce ‘one’ to rhyme with ‘bun’ not ‘gone’. These mistakes are irritating and took the shine off the listening experience.
