Publisher's Summary

Emma Frederick bolts upright in bed, pulse racing. It must be a bad dream.

Except it’s not.

Crrrrrreeeeeeeeaaaaaaakkkkkkk.

The sound of the loose step sends her body into overdrive, and she rushes for the secret room behind the wall. The screech of old hinges echoes through the house as he enters her bedroom.

He starts whistling.

Three blind mice. Three blind mice.

She slaps a hand over her mouth, stifling her scream.

He’s coming for her, but that can’t be.

She killed him last month.

Most awful narrator EVER

Very good story but...
I’ve never listened to such an insipid whiney narrator. The plot was excellent but having to listen to the sniveling made me want to ask for a full refund. Buy the hard copy instead.

Loving Audible

I'm loving the Audible app - it has become my new addiction - working, walking the dog, working out, running, I always have Audbile on. I have recommended it to my friends and family every chance I can get. I love reading books, but with Audible, I can supplement my reading with a couple of audio books a week as well. There is so much content that I can enjoy a good fiction novel or self-improvement book based on my mood. I enjoy the narrators and how they change their voices for different characters or when there are multiple narrators. 10/10 #Audible1

Nice twists!

I enjoy when a book actually has some hard to see twists in it! Decently suspenseful also, however, the narrator has a weird voice.

Great book, kept me interested and wanting more

I was looking for a new series and I found it! I really like the characters, you get a good feel for them and they are likeable, well the good guys are! I like the narrator as well. As soon as I was finished I bought the second title and am enjoying it right now.

great story!

Great listen, great plot - maybe not for while you've got kids in the car, but more than enough to keep you wanting more. Will definitely look for more of Jana's books in the series. #audible1
