Resumen del Editor

"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.

Wow!

A really gripping story, with different twists on the typical mystery genre. As an avid reader of “true crime” style books, this story was really refreshing and I will definitely be reading more of the author’s works.

I only rated the narrator 4 stars because she overenunciates certain words (sick, stomach) which is just a bit annoying. Overall great performance, though.

Awesome book.

loved it ! intriguing. keeps you wanting more. Heather's books are always amazing. Would highly recommend.

Interesting storyline

So many different possible suspect that keeps you guessing. Didn’t want to put it down

Well thought out plot twists

I loved the plot twists. I kept suspecting different characters were the killer. I enjoyed the book.

Not disappointed but meh

Without revealing any spoilers, I just feel like there were lots of loose ends left. The author tried to tie them all up but I ended up with some unanswered questions anyway. Also, some themes were very repetitive. I think there were full paragraphs and sentences reused that just felt like grasping for more content.

Overall, not bad but not super thrilled by this book. The narrator was good!

Heather's Best So Far

This book has all the elements of a crime thriller that I like. It starts out with a punch and keeps the action coming the whole book, There were several characters that you are made to believe could have done the big nasty. Finally, there were plenty of twists and turns throughout the book that kept introducing new aspects to the story,

I'm a native Iowan from a small town much like Grotto. One cultural aspect of Iowa is the term 'Iowa nice' where in general the people are considered to be genuinely nice people. In some of the author's earlier books there were some good mysteries but Iowa nice seemed to pervade a bit too much. Iowa has as many nasty people as anywhere else. The author did a good job of bridging that gap in this one.

I really enjoyed this book and look forward to the next.

Excellent suspense!

I was spell bound listening to this heart wrenching suspense filled with clever twists! Masterful!

Held my interest till the very end.

Different story line than the usual psychological thrillers. Also I liked that not everyone was innocent.

Story

I love the twist and turns you really didn’t know what was going on until you did know what was going on and it was surprising!

Great story!

Very Good story,good narration, storyline keeps you guessing the entire time you are listening!
