When The Curtain Falls

This is an Apple Books audiobook narrated by a digital voice based on a human narrator.

A haunting wedding. A brutal murder. A fearless woman who won't walk away.

In the quiet beauty of Derbyshire's Peak District, a wedding is meant to bring joy, not horror. But when a dismembered body is found on the grounds of an exclusive country manor, Meg Castleton's short escape from reality becomes the start of a nightmare.

When The Curtain Falls is a chilling, slow-burn British mystery filled with psychological suspense, dark secrets, and a fiercely determined female investigator — brought vividly to life in this gripping audiobook, narrated by a compelling female voice with a rich British accent.

Meg Castleton is no stranger to danger. She's cracked cases others couldn't, but this time, the stakes are more personal than ever. At the heart of the mystery lies the wealthy and powerful DeWitt family, whose polished reputation masks decades of deception, bitterness, and betrayal.

As Meg gets closer to the truth, someone strikes back and her husband Finlay is abducted and left for dead. What began as a weekend among friends turns into a desperate race to uncover a killer hiding in plain sight.

With danger closing in, loyalties shifting, and time running out, Meg must rely on her intuition, resilience, and grit to survive and protect the man she loves. But the deeper she digs, the more twisted the truth becomes.

Perfect for fans of Ann Cleeves, Val McDermid, and Tana French, this atmospheric psychological thriller blends rural noir with emotional intensity. The audiobook narration adds another layer of immersion, capturing every chilling moment and hidden emotion in Meg's journey.

Settle in, press play, and prepare for secrets that cut deep. Because in this village, nothing is as it seems.
