À propos de cet audio
Annie and Milt have been inseparable for over fifty years, a couple still deeply in love as they live out their golden years in the same quaint neighborhood they've always called home. Behind closed doors, however, they share a secret they’ve kept hidden from everyone—Annie and Milt are hoarders. Their home, filled to the brim with possessions, is a labyrinth of memories and clutter they can’t let go of.
When a young girl from the neighborhood mysteriously vanishes, the police begin searching everywhere, knocking on doors and asking questions. Though the elderly couple has nothing to do with the girl's disappearance, they are terrified of what a search of their home might reveal. Could their secret be exposed to the world? As the investigation draws closer, the walls of their carefully constructed life begin to close in, and Annie and Milt must confront not just the quagmire of their home, but the shadows of their past.
Do they have more to hide than just the towering stacks of possessions? And what happens when their long-buried secrets start to surface along with the debris?

unbelievable
I've heard it said that fiction writers don't have to do any research because all they do is make things up. Nonetheless, I still always hold out hope that the authors I read will have based the meat of their stories on more than random guesswork. How can I believe there's a cop running a solo missing child/murder investigation without a partner, without a squad, without a boss, without a station, without any oversight at all? How about not calling a mother to identify her child's body before slapping it on the coroner's slab? Then there are questions, like how long it would take for someone fresh out of hospital with an injured leg to navigate through the amount of hoarded matter described by the author. A filthy rich suspect who doesn't bother calling for a lawyer when he's being interrogated but instead, threatens the cop with his friends in high places. The hero's relationship with her own child is utterly unbelievable, and then there's the nauseating saccharine ending to all this shlock. I suspect the author is either very young or has an editor who's unfettered by any desire for credibility. It's really too bad because the elevator pitch for this story could have been promising. Alas, in practice, it failed. About the audiobook–I found the narrator's voice grating and nasal and extremely hard to listen to for any length of time–and especially when I'm yelling at the glaring errors in every second paragraph.
