Little Deaths Audiobook (Free)

Haunting, intoxicating and heart-poundingly suspenseful, Small Deaths is normally a gripping book about love, morality and obsession, discovering the capacity for good and evil within people.

It’s the summer time of 1965, as well as the streets of Queens, NY shimmer within a heatwave. One July morning, Ruth Malone wakes to discover a bedroom window wide open and her two small children lacking. After a desperate search, the police make a horrifying discovery.

Noting Ruth’s perfectly made-up face and provocative clothing, the empty liquor bottles and like words that litter her apartment, the detectives step to convenient conclusions, fuelled by neighbourhood gossip and speculation. Delivered to cover the case on his 1st major task, tabloid reporter Pete Wonicke at first can’t help but do the same. But the longer he spends viewing Ruth, the more he learns about the darker workings of the authorities and the press. Quickly, Pete starts to question everything he believed he knew.

Ruth Malone is enthralling, challenging and secretive – is she really with the capacity of murder?
