Room Seven Is Listening

Liv, an audio restorer, books a room at an old seaside guesthouse to finish twelve recorded interviews. At night, a woman's voice comes through a disused speaking tube. Her next recording contains her own voice, saying words she has not yet spoken. When Liv goes home, the owner, Els, stays behind. Liv returns to help her, but a familiar voice is not always someone you can trust.

Read the opening

Liv caught the guesthouse bell with her sleeve. As she pulled away, it rang again. A woman rose from behind the counter, holding a roll of bin bags.

‘Once is enough,’ she said. ‘It won't make me any quicker.’

‘That was my coat.’
