She Has a Broken Thing Where Her Heart Should Be

By: J. D. Barker

Narrated by: David Aaron Baker, Brian Hutchison

A haunting tale of suspense, rendered with the masterful skill only Barker could muster. 

After the loss of his parents, young Jack Thatch first met Stella as a child - this cryptic little girl of eight with dark hair and darker eyes, sitting alone on a bench in the cemetery clutching her favorite book. Gone moments later, the brief encounter would spark an obsession. She'd creep into his thoughts, his every waking moment, until he finally finds her again exactly one year later, sitting upon the same bench, only to disappear again soon after. 

The body of a man found in an alley, every inch of his flesh horribly burned, yet his clothing completely untouched. For Detective Faustino Brier, this wasn't the first, and he knew it wouldn't be the last. It was no different from the others. He'd find another just like it one year from today. August 9, to be exact. 

Isolated and locked away from the world in a shadowy lab, a little boy known only as Subject "D" waits, grows, learns. He's permitted to speak to no one. He has never known the touch of another. Harboring a power so horrific, those in control will never allow him beyond their walls.

All of them linked in ways unimaginable. 

She Has a Broken Thing Where Her Heart Should Be conjures thoughts of early King and Koontz. A heart-pounding ride that creeps under your skin and will have you listening long into the night.

Excellent

Don’t listen to anyone saying the book is boring. Even the “dull” parts were engaging and moved the story along. Enjoyed this one immensely.

Flawless

can't go wrong with JD ... exceptional narration , always a plus as well.

This book needs to be made into a movie!

J.D. Barker has outdone himself with this one!! A story, woven by a brilliant and gifted writer, that keeps you guessing throughout. The character development is outstanding! 10/10!!!

LOVED!

The stories in this man's mind is amazing. I got a little of everything from this book, humor, drama, mystery, fantasy, etc

Long but in a good way

I wasn’t sold on the title but this book surprised me, it’s probably my favourite book this year. I think King fans will also enjoy this one.
