Bee meets the psychiatrist who saw her younger sister Tess on the morning before she died. Read by Hattie Morahan.

Rosamund Lupton's first novel is a gripping psychological thriller about the bonds between two sisters. After Bee has identified the body of her sister, Tess, she returns to Tess' flat to find Emilio Codi, the lecturer who Tess said was the father of her stillborn child, trying to remove his paintings from the flat. When the post mortem results come through, the police are convinced that Tess must have taken her own life and that she had been suffering from post-natal psychosis. Bee refuses to accept the diagnosis, and remains adamant that someone must have killed her. Feeling isolated in her grief, and unable to persuade anyone to trust her instincts about Tess' death, Bee determines to find out the truth.

The reader is Hattie Morahan, the abridger Lauris Morgan Griffiths.
Producers: Sara Davies and Christine Hall.
