The Cuckoo Clock

In a modest house on a sleepy street, Jean and Jim Blair try to stitch together a life shattered by a string of sudden, inexplicable deaths. Their three children are gone, and a fragile newcomer, little Joanna, has moved in under mysterious circumstances. The ordinary sounds of a cuckoo clock and a kitchen routine mask a growing unease, as each tick seems to echo a hidden danger lurking within the walls.

The story follows Jim, a weary husband and father, as he teeters between grief and suspicion, wondering whether the tragedy is a cruel accident or something far more intentional. Jean’s nervous rationality clashes with Jim’s mounting paranoia, drawing them into uneasy conversations with the town doctor and an ever‑present sense that the menace may be closer than they think. Listeners are drawn into a tense, domestic thriller that asks how far a family will go to protect—or uncover—the truth.
