Nothing's been the same for Beth Teller since she died. Her dad, a detective, is the only one who can see and hear her – and he's drowning in grief. But now they have a mystery to solve together. Who is Isobel Catching, and what's her connection to the fire that killed a man? What happened to the people who haven't been seen since the fire? As Beth unravels the mystery, she finds a shocking story lurking beneath the surface of a small town, and a friendship that lasts beyond one life and into another.Told in two unforgettable voices, this gripping audiobook interweaves themes of grief, colonial history, violence, love and family.
