Nowhere

A Novel

By: Allison Gunn

Narrated by: Leanne Woodward

Mare of Easttown meets The Outsider in this spine-tingling and twisty debut about a series of disappearances in a small, fundamentalist town and what one broken family must do to remain together as dark forces close in.

After losing her young son in an accident, Rachel Kennan throws herself into her career as police chief of a small Virginia town to avoid focusing on her grief. Meanwhile, her husband, Finn, a washed-up writer whose alcoholism led to the devastating tragedy that changed everything, struggles to redeem himself before his family completely falls apart. Their two daughters are the only things keeping Rachel and Finn together, but the girls have demons of their own.

At the same time, a disturbing crime rocks their tightknit, religious community, sending Rachel chasing leads in a place that does not take kindly to outsiders. When an ominous force in the forest starts calling to the children, fear spawns hate among the townspeople, placing the Kennan family directly in the line of fire. Left with no choice but to rely on each other, Rachel and Finn must come together to face threats inside and out.

A haunting family saga and a disquieting horror debut, Nowhere draws from Appalachian folklore to caution us that true terror is what we bury in our own hearts.

Creepy

I'm not exactly sure what the monster was, but that didn't stop it from being creepy.

Great story, really great ending

Maybe I should have seen where the story was going, but I did not and it was quite a reveal when I finally did. I listened to this on my commute and it made the time absolutely fly. Compelling, interesting, flawed (often dislikeable) characters written like actual people made this book very enjoyable. Great narration as well. I’m looking forward to more from Allison Gunn in the future.

Whoa!

This was an amazing listen!! I love thrillers and this is definitely a top for me.

the story line was great

great book I couldn't stop listening to it .. it's a must read and the voice for the different characters worked it wasn't off like most are.

Fantastic and creepy!

I am happy to say no dogs die in this book. I was on the edge of my seat with this wild ride. I could not put it down.
