The seaside town of Amble is cold, gray and rundown,

so when a wild dolphin arrives, it feels like a miracle.

Until one day, a man is accused of taking his friendship with the dolphin way too far.

A tabloid scandal leads to a court battle that grips the whole country.

I'm Becky Milligan and this is Hooked On Freddy, the tale of a bizarre accusation

that spirals out of control.

Listeners, I'm sitting in my garden, it feels lovely and sunny, I feel like I'm on holiday

for Monest, which is very apt because I've got some more holiday reading for you.

This episode of Homo sapient is sponsored by Better Left Unsaid from Toothial Ahmed,

author of the acclaimed novel This Way Out. Better Left Unsaid is about three siblings

navigating life after their mother's death. They're all living separate lives trying to live

up to their last promises they each made to their mother.

Until a viral news piece throws an unwanted spotlight on the family and forces the siblings

back into each other's lives. Three siblings, three promises, three lifetimes of saying all the wrong

things. Gosh, it feels familiar. I'll leave it at that for now, it's a really good read.

The novel is available at Amazon.co.uk forward slash Homo sapiens. I love it when they do a

That's www.amazon.co.uk forward slash Homo sapiens. Better Left Unsaid is available

on 20th September in ebook, paperbook and audiobook editions.
