As an audition, she offers to investigate the recently discovered bones of Tobi Turner, a high school girl who disappeared fifteen years ago. While investigating with local sheriff Mike Nevada, a former colleague and onetime lover, Macy discovers a link between Tobi’s case and several others that occurred around the same time as her disappearance.

Publisher's Summary
The Fear Is Terrifying
When police rescue five-year-old Jenna Thompson from the dark closet where she's been held captive for days, they tell her she's a lucky girl. Compared to the rest of her family, it's true. But even with their killer dead of an overdose, Jenna is still trying to find peace 25 years later.
But the Truth
On leave from her forensic artist job, Jenna returns to Nashville, the city where she lost so much. Instead of closure she finds a new horror. Detective Rick Morgan needs Jenna's expertise in identifying the skeletal remains of a young child. The case jogs hazy, half-buried memories - and a nagging dread that Jenna's ordeal hasn't ended.
Is Even Worse
Now other women are dying. And as the links between these brutal killings and Jenna's past becomes clear, she knows this time a madman will leave no survivors....

good but not great
It was a good story but never really grabbed me. characters seemed shallow and it was hard to connect with them. It ended well and I didn't think it was going to, so that's a plus. It took me 3 days to finish which is rare for me. I probably will not listen to again and don't think I will buy any more of her books.

Weak ending
The narration was excellent! The story was just ok the character that is the murderer is so obscure that when you find out who it is, it's like "huh" I don't know that I would get another of Mary Burtons book to listen to again

Bad Narrator
I'm sure the book is good but I recommend buying a physical copy. The narrator was awful. It was like listening to William Shatner read a book where every word had its own inflection. I had to stop after 5 minutes and returned the book.

Define Crazy
This book took me on a scary ride. Figuring out the who-done-it and navigating all the twists and turns kept this story moving along. Looking forward to reading more of her books.

Hated this book!
What would have made Be Afraid better?
A better story maybe?????
Would you ever listen to anything by Mary Burton again?
Never, I read all the positives reviews and decided to take a chance... what a waste.
Would you be willing to try another one of Jennifer Van Dyck’s performances?
I would.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
I could not find any... .really...... waste of my credit and my time.
Any additional comments?
None.

Another good read
There was nothing new I haven't read before, but I do love a comfy book. It was an easy listen on a slow weekend and drive. I like this author, and sometimes you just want a book like this!

when madness takes over reason...
Nashville Detective, Rick Morgan, is back to work after a traffic stop left him and his K9 severely injured. His first case is an unidentified female body in the burned out remains of a house. The next is equally as gruesome...the remains of a young child have been discovered in a drained community pond. When his sister recommends a Baltimore PD forensic artist to recreate a sketch of the child, Rick is skeptical, but soon realizes that Jenna Thompson may be an asset. Now if only he wasn't attracted to her. Jenna Thompson has a terrifying past that she had blanked from her mind, but as the 25th anniversary to those events looms closer, she gets flashes of memory. The memories have probably been triggered by the discovery of a young girl locked in a closet on her last case but whatever the reason, it's starting to come back. And Jenna's arrival may have unleashed a killer. Another good story in the Nashville Morgans series.
