Description
Thirty years ago, seven-year-old Mitch Walker was left for dead in the woods while his five-year-old sister Sarah was abducted.
Now, circumstances pull him back to the place where Sarah vanished. He finds evidence linking his sister to a number of girls whose disappearances remain a mystery and has to face the fact that she may have been a victim of a serial killer known as the Blackden Edge Murderer.
Elly Cooper, ex-journalist and best-selling author, has been tasked by her agent to investigate the disappearances for a new book. She needs to find out if the rumoured Blackden Edge Murderer is more than just a local legend. This is Elly's last chance to get her failing career back on track and face her personal demons.
But uncovering the secrets of the past can have dangerous consequences. Mitch and Elly are about to be drawn into a web of deceit, lies, and murder. A web that stretches back 40 years but is still snaring its victims today.

Good story
High pitched voice was hard on the ears but it was a pretty good story

"Decent" book. Weak Narration.
Adam J. Wright provides a story about the hunt for a serial killer (or killers) stalking women and "rescuing" them from their miserable lives. He uses amateur sleuths - drawn into the mystery by blood ties and inside information - but makes their inquiries feel authentic (rather than the hard-to-swallow "contrast-with-the-incompetent-police" trope so often used in stories of this type).
While far from flawless (both the climactic jeopardy of the sleuths & the plot resolution feel controved), Wright's well-paced investigation is largely plausible and engaging.
Unfortunately, the hit & miss performance from reader Henrietta Meire lets the story down somewhat. Her diction, reading cadence, tone, and evident understanding of the author's intentions are impressive. But she also has a high-register overall reading timbre that gets irritating after a few hours, reads far too slowly (setting playback speed at 1.15X helped), and - while praiseworthy overall - makes some questionable voice-acting choices (shrill female peripheral figures and the oddly falsetto interpretation of a central character: investigative reporter/true crime author 'Elly Cooper').
I rate this audiobook worth 7.5 stars out of 10. I feel fortunate to have stumbled on it while still in the 'Plus' library - it was a great way to spend a couple of quiet afternoons - but spend your Credit on another option when they ask for one.
