About this listen

‘No one likes death. It just happens to be our business.’

Nobody who meets Dr Jack Cuthbert forgets him. Tall, urbane, brilliant but damaged, this Scottish pathologist who works with Scotland Yard is the best the new DCI has seen. But Cuthbert is a man who lives with secrets, and he still battles demons brought back from the trenches.

When not one but two corpses are discovered in a London park in 1929, Cuthbert must use every tool at his disposal to solve the mystery of their deaths. In the end, the horrifying truth is more shocking than even he could have imagined.

As he works the case, Cuthbert realises that history rarely stays in the past. And even in the final moments, there is still one last revelation that leaves him reeling...

Content warning: This audiobook contains offensive language reflective of the period in which the novel is set.

Critic reviews

'The Silent House of Sleep is an assured debut; it’s deliciously dark, vividly visceral, heartbreakingly harrowing and jam packed with all the emotions. I can’t wait to meet Dr Jack Cuthbert again!' (Sharon Bairden, author of Sins of the Father and You Need Me)
'Heartbreaking and harrowing in equal measure. Dr Jack Cuthbert is a brilliant, damaged genius you’ll want to follow to hell and back.' (Pauline McLean, BBC Scotland Arts Correspondent)
'Cuthbert himself is a finely conceived and drawn character.' (The Scotsman)
