About this listen

On a winter’s evening, a trio of unruly teenagers board a bus, ganging up on Luke Murray, threatening to kill him. No one intervenes until Jason Barnes, a young student, challenges the gang. Luke seizes the chance to run off the bus, but he’s followed. Andrew Barnes is dragged from the shower by his wife Valerie: there’s a fight in the garden and Jason’s trying to break it up. As Andrew rushes to help, the gang flees. Jason shouts for an ambulance for Luke, but it is he who will pay the ultimate price.

As Valerie and Andrew are faced by the devastating loss of their only child, their grief affects them in different ways.

Excellent story with strong pertinent information and truly applaudable account of court, witness testimonies, interrogations etc. The voices make for a hugely believable story. This writer is someone I will now engage with despite my preference for true stories.
The only negative is that it upset me soooo much!! What a potentially horrid world we live in 😭

Great, strong storyline... but upsetting as well 😭

Excellent, gripping story. Many years ago one of my work colleagues used to rave about Cath Staincliffe’s books and it’s only now I’ve listened to Split Second how right she was. It was my first book from this author but certainly not the last.

Excellent, gripping story
