About this listen
Twenty-one years ago, Dr Richard Carter and his wife Pamela were killed in what has become the most infamous double murder of the modern age.
Their 1 0year-old daughter – nicknamed the Angel of Death – spent eight years in a children’s secure unit and is living quietly under an assumed name with a family of her own.
Now, on the anniversary of the trial, a documentary team has tracked down her older sister, compelling her to break two decades of silence.
Her explosive interview sparks national headlines and journalist Brinley Booth, a childhood friend of the Carter sisters, is tasked with covering the news story.
For the first time, the three women are forced to confront what really happened that night – with devastating consequences for them all.
When I Was Ten is the highly anticipated, stay-up-all-night next book by acclaimed crime author Fiona Cummins.

Decent entertainment
So it’s a murder story, and an abusive relationship story, and a journalist story… and somehow they all get mixed up. Engaging enough… although even I managed to see through most of the plot twists. A decent way to pass a few hours.

Good story, performance bugged me a bit
Fiona Cummins writes a great story. Really enjoyed that part, no doubt. But the narrator over-pronounced everything and put extra emphasis on her t's. And there seemed to be no change in dialect, accent, emphasis, tone or pitch.

Thoroughly recommended
A gripping story that I couldn’t get through quick enough. I gasped aloud to myself several times. Clever writing that threw up the unexpected throughout. Other reviews have mentioned having some difficulty determining which character was being read but i didn’t find this to be the case.

So predictable
Too predictable, unrealistic depiction of the ability of 10 and 12 year olds to make decisions and understand consequences.

Good story
Well written, and quite plausible. Just like I like my stories to be. The narrator was OK but at times I couldn't tell who the character was that she was portraying as her voice didn't differentiate between the girls.

Rattling Good Yarn
I found this disturbing at times, but the plot had me gripped.
It was a little overwritten, and the narrator wobbled at times, but I was gripped throughout.
