About this listen

Gudenkauf proves herself the master of the smart, suspenseful small-town thriller that gets right under your skin.” —Gilly Macmillan, New York Times bestselling author of The Nanny

Everyone has a secret they’ll do anything to hide…

Twenty-five years ago, the body of sixteen-year-old Eve Knox was found in the caves near her home in small-town Grotto, Iowa—discovered by her best friend, Maggie, and her sister, Nola. There were a handful of suspects, including her boyfriend, Nick, but without sufficient evidence the case ultimately went cold.

For decades Maggie was haunted by Eve’s death and that horrible night. Now a detective in Grotto, and seven months pregnant, she is thrust back into the past when a new piece of evidence surfaces and the case is reopened. As Maggie investigates and reexamines the clues, secrets about what really happened begin to emerge. But someone in town knows more than they’re letting on, and they’ll stop at nothing to keep the truth buried deep.

Don’t miss Heather’s upcoming twisty locked-room thriller, EVERYONE IS WATCHING!

Author wrote another great story. Similar plot of missing/dead best friend but otherwise all different. Goosebump worthy realistic characters and plot twists. Hard to stop listening.
Narrator managed another very impressive range of voices for kids and women, only disappointment was that all men sounded the same age/personality. She needs to improve that but doesn't wreck the story. Great job!

Keeps you guessing until the end!

The story moves along and seems to give up the mystery right away, but then the author throws twists at you. The narrator is great and makes the story even more exciting.

A fantastic read/listen
