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 best-selling author of The Nanny)

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

Twenty-five years ago, the body of 16-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.

Check out these other riveting novels of suspense by best-selling author Heather Gudenkauf: The Weight of Silence, These Things Hidden, One Breath Away, Little Mercies, Missing Pieces, Not a Sound, and Before She Was Found.

Another great audiobook by Heather Gudenkauf. Brittany Pressley does a fantastic job of bringing the different characters’ personalities to life. So much suspense and a solid storyline.

Fast-paced and intriguing!

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

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!

Best book of this genre that I’ve heard/read in a long time. Thought it was interesting, and liked the attention to detail in her writing. Sometimes it lagged a tiny bit, and some repetitive use of words but for the most part extremely enjoyable. I especially liked the end, with the idea of her dad and how she says the thing. And she has to keep saying the thing. (Trying not to spoil.) Sad but happy.

Best book I’ve “read” in a long time.

This is the second book I've listened to by this author. This is full of suspense & twists....a must for my psycho-thrillers. And the narrator does such a great job jumping between characters. Brittan Pressley is one of my favorite narrators. Have a listen...you won't regret it! :)

Loved this!
