About this listen

From three-time Emmy-winning legend Tom Fontana, Sugarland is a hypnotic story about obsession, murder, and the serpentine bonds between siblings.

Sometimes the darkest mysteries are homegrown.

When Zephyr Nelson returns home to look after her ailing mother, she discovers that her younger brother, Cotter, has become obsessed with a malevolent influencer on a mysterious voice app.

Just as a series of puzzling deaths begin plaguing their small town of Sugarland.

With the help of her college best friend and occasional lover, Teddy, Zephyr unravels truths about Sugarland that are impossible for her to accept ...

Forcing her to make an unconscionable choice that will change the lives of her friends and family, forever.

Good, disturbing plot, likeable main character

I enjoyed this story- it was disturbing with it's twists and turns but the narrator was witty and likeable and I found myself hoping there is a sequel

Triggering but thrilling

… multi-time Emmy winner, Tom Fontana, put together this Audible original and a college girl who returns home to help her sick mother…only to learn her brother is suffering from something darker. Mark Ryder leads a talented voice cast as the college FWB who narrates this entire ordeal, after the fact, to his college dean in order to get allowed back into school after the violent conclusion to this entire ordeal.

There’s a lot of triggers in this (sexual assault, abuse, murders most foul), and while it does—in parts—seem to glamorize school shooters and toxic masculinity, but it is very thrilling and does end on a solid cliffhanger.

Rubbish

I don’t know what I just listened to. It is a four hour book and I can’t even make it past the first 15 minutes. None of the characters are interesting. None of the characters have any qualities that I’m like oh OK that’s likeable and I’m wondering what the heck? this girl is off at college living it up while her mom is a hotel prostitute? who came up with his drivel.

What’s even more surprising it’s not the book itself, it’s not the narrators (the full cast). It is the summary, it starts, “from three time Emmy winning legend Tom Fontana, Sugarland is a hypnotic story about obsession, murder, and the serpentine bonds between siblings”. I should’ve looked at that and thought this is gonna be absolute rubbish because that is exactly what this book is.

I skipped from chapter 1 to 7.
Here’s the thing, we know exactly who the killer is, why is the sister in college, she is stupid. They’re all so stupid even if you have no direct proof and you have just assumptions at least point the cops in the right direction and you’re telling me she suspects him of forcing people to commit suicide, killing and bombing people and she can’t come up with one little bit of evidence to give the police to further her suspicions? He’s either a criminal mastermind or she’s the stupidest person. Could be both. However, when she says in chapter 7, I feel this is my fault. I let it go on so long and her friends say no it’s not your fault. I said yes it is your fault, and your mom‘s fault and your brother‘s fault.
