Publisher's summary

An ITW Thriller Award and Anthony Award winner.

Perfect town. Perfect homes. Perfect families. It’s enough to drive some women mad…

In a tale inspired by real events, pregnant journalist Joan Harken is cautiously excited to follow her fiancé back to his Minnesota hometown. After spending a childhood on the move and chasing the screams and swirls of news-rich city life, she’s eager to settle down. Lilydale’s motto, “Come Home Forever,” couldn’t be more inviting.

And yet, something is off in the picture-perfect village.

The friendliness borders on intrusive. Joan can’t shake the feeling that every move she makes is being tracked. An archaic organization still seems to hold the town in thrall. So does the sinister secret of a little boy who vanished decades ago. And unless Joan is imagining things, a frighteningly familiar figure from her past is on watch in the shadows.

Her fiancé tells her she’s being paranoid. He might be right. Then again, she might have moved to the deadliest small town on earth.

Unhinged but so good.

This storyline is CRAZY but Jess Lourey is one of my favorite authors. I love her characters, the way the story flows, subtle humor, and this one is a thriller up to the very end. Also, I loved the narration on this even though I normally read her books in print.

Ok

I really liked the Narrator, Story was just ok, took my mind off of a long trip. No wow! factor or anything that stood out. if Narrator had not been so easy to listen too probably would not have bothered past the sample.

Disturbing Story Based on True Events

A long story. I wanted to know where it led and why, so I stuck with it. Very disturbing story about a group of people that went to great lengths (both criminal and unthinkable) to maintain a bloodline.

Definitely a page-turner!

Interesting concept and story. Surprising twists and interesting characters too! Not my typical kind of reading but was written and performed so well that I’m reading another book by this author next.
