About this listen

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.

Disappointing story

Narrator was pretty good. The plot line was borderline absurd. I like the author in general but this was a flop. I skipped over entire passages at the end just to see how it turned out. But meh, kind of a waste of time.

Suspense, Provocative & Endearing

Kept me wondering and wanting more as events unfold, Feeling love and admiration for some characters, while detesting others. I was very surprised and taken to a place I did not anticipate. Would recommend for those who like suspense and thought provoking storytelling.

Narration was wonderful.

First, but not last!

This was my first book by Jess Lourey, but it won't be my last. It was a great mystery, and the narrator did a great job producing it.
