CLEAR MY NAME

Colleen Prendergast's strong, nuanced voice takes listeners to a village by the sea in northwest England. There, Tess, an investigator for Innocence UK, is gathering evidence to exonerate a woman imprisoned for stabbing her husband's mistress to death. Tess has her own secrets, which come to light as witnesses are interviewed about the murder case. This feminist thriller explores the various manifestations of motherhood and the psychology of murderers. The characters sound authentic, and the plot is compelling. Listeners are left hoping that Tess and her team who seek justice for the wrongly accused will return in a second audiobook with a new case as riveting as this one and a narrator as polished as Colleen Prendergast.
