About this listen
A Victorian era murder. A modern-day family researcher. Can she unravel a governess's entanglement in a dark family secret?
Ireland, 1895. Polly Brady hopes to escape her oppressive past by accepting the position of governess at Colgrannagh, an old house in the Wicklow mountains. But when she learns her employer’s botanist husband died in unusual circumstances, she is drawn into a poisonous deception that threatens her future.
2022. After the breakdown of her marriage and the loss of her job, Fiona Foley is determined to start afresh with a research project about a pioneering female doctor from the 19th century. When a shocking discovery is unearthed in the garden, her investigation takes a more sinister twist.
As Fiona delves deeper into the family's past, she finds startling evidence of a tragic event that occurred one August night over a century before…
With the help of a secret game played by the children and an intricate embroidery of the herb garden passed down through generations, can Fiona succeed in uncovering the truth?
With long-buried secrets, dual timeline suspense, and surprising twists and turns, 'The Whispering River' is the second novel in the Foley Family Mysteries series but can also be listened to as a standalone. Ruth Redman is an audiobook narrator who lives and works just outside London. She also works as an actress in Theatre, Film and Television and is represented by BBA Management.

Nathan Tyler is an unassuming professor at a middling American university with a rather obscure specialty in mathematics—in short, a nobody from nowhere. So why is the White House calling? Summoned to Washington, DC, for a top-secret briefing, Nathan discovers that he’s the key to a massive foreign intelligence breakthrough. Reading between the lines of a cryptic series of equations, he could open a door straight into the heart of the Kremlin and change the global balance of power forever.

Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.
