Publisher's summary

From the New York Times best-selling author of The Silent Girls comes this chilling, harrowing thriller set in rural Vermont about a recluse who believes the young girl he's found in the woods is the reincarnation of his missing daughter, returned to help him solve her and his wife's disappearance.

I won’t say a word. Cross my heart and hope to die...

Jonah Baum, a professor of poetry at a local college in Vermont, sees his ordinary life come tumbling down when his wife and young daughter vanish from their home. No evidence of a kidnapping. No sign of murder. No proof that Rebecca didn’t simply abandon her marriage. Just Sally’s crude and chilling drawings, Jonah’s little lies, and the sheriff’s nagging fears that nothing is what it seems.

For Sally’s best friend, Lucinda, it’s something else. She trusts Sally not to just disappear, not after they’ve shared so many secrets - especially about the woods and what they saw there. But she’ll never tell. No one would believe her anyway.

As the search for Rebecca and Sally intensifies, and as suspicion falls on Jonah, the disappearances become more relentlessly haunting than anyone can imagine. Because what’s seen in the light of day is not nearly as terrifying as what remains hidden in the dark…

Didn't want to put it down.

Love when I can't figure out who done it, until the end. I had no clue.

Parts of the story really made me uneasy.

The underlying story was decent. But, the main character's obsession with the girl he finds is disturbing. Not as impressed as with other books by this writer.

Good story to keep you listening

Unfortunately I didn't care for the narrator but the story kept me listening. Good detail and enough suspense to keep you wanting to turn it on after each chapter break.

One of my favorite authors.

I have read everything this author has written. His books are always suspenseful. Just when you think you know where the story is going, it suprises you.

One of the best I’ve heard all year!

This book grabbed me from the beginning and didn’t let go! Not since “Demon Copperhead” have I been so engrossed. The characters are so well developed that even though the story is tough at times, I couldn’t wait to see where they were going. The mystery is remained a mystery until the very end. It kept me guessing and I was so invested that absolutely couldn’t put it down. I was unfamiliar with the author, but will look for other titles by him. I LOVED this book!!!

Interesting...

Good solid story. I do wish it was more of a thriller. It is a good who dun it story. Eric Rickstad is incredibly descriptive so if did make it is joy to listen too as he drew the scene with his words. The narrator Stephen Graybill was good. He wasn’t the most expressive or filled with emotion.

Not the best

Have to say this was quite boring. I kept waiting for something major to change and it would turn good. For me, it never got there.
I really like this author this just didn't do it for me.
