About this listen
Now a New York Times bestseller
An unfathomable loss or an unthinkable crime? #1 New York Times bestselling author Tami Hoag keeps you guessing in her most harrowing thriller yet.
When Detective Nick Fourcade enters the home of Genevieve Gauthier outside the sleepy town of Bayou Breaux, Louisiana, the bloody crime scene that awaits him is both the most brutal and the most confusing he's ever seen. Genevieve's seven-year-old son, KJ, has been murdered by an alleged intruder, yet Genevieve is alive and well. Meanwhile, Nick's wife, Detective Annie Broussard, sits with the grieving Genevieve. A mother herself, Annie understands the devastation this woman is going through, but as a detective she's troubled: Who would murder a child and leave the only witness behind?
When KJ's sometimes babysitter, twelve-year-old Nora Florette, is reported missing the very next day, the town fears a maniac is preying on their children. With pressure mounting from a tough, no-nonsense new sheriff, the media, and the parents of Bayou Breaux, Nick and Annie dig deep into the dual mysteries. Is someone from Genevieve's past or present responsible for the death of her son? Is Nora a victim, or something worse? Then everything changes when Genevieve’s past as a convicted criminal comes to light. Could she have killed her own child to free herself from the burden of motherhood, or is the loss of her beloved boy pushing her to the edge of insanity? Could she have something to do with the disappearance of Nora, or is the troubled teen the key to the murder? How far will Nick and Annie have to go to uncover the dark truth of the boy?

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 88
It's June in Montreal, and Dr. Temperance Brennan, who has left a shaky marriage back home in North Carolina to take on the challenging assignment of Director of Forensic Anthropology for the province of Quebec, looks forward to a relaxing weekend in beautiful Quebec City. First, though, she must stop at a newly uncovered burial site in the heart of the city. The remains are probably old and only of archeological interest, but Tempe must make sure they're not a case for the police. One look at the decomposed and decapitated corpse, stored neatly in plastic bags, tells her she'll spend the weekend in the crime lab.

What the critics say
“[A] tightly plotted whodunnit . . . prepare to gasp."—People
“Thoughtful, character-driven . . . Hoag keeps the twists and turns coming all the way to the shocking conclusion.”—Publishers Weekly
“Hoag puts on quite the juggling act here, dazzling us with multiple theories about the boy’s murder, numerous potential suspects, and plot twists that keep us just slightly off-balance. A welcome return for a compelling investigative duo.”—Booklist

Very Good overall but…
I believe the book was for longer than it had to be, and shortening it by several hours, would have greatly improved the read. At times it was very repetitive, necessitating speeding up the reading so I could get to the crux of the story. Having said this, it was a very interesting and captivating story with an ending one really couldn’t predict until very close to the end of the book, and the ending was very satisfying.

Thrilling atmosphere
I could vividly see the background of this story. The heat and picturesque portrayal of the Bayou. Throughout the book I was kept on the edge of my seat by the next stream of events.
Anyone who’s a fan of Hoag will not be dissapointed.

Great Listen!!!
This was my first listen to of Tami Hoag's and will not be my last. I always seen her books in the stores but never got around to reading one. I was certainly missing a great author, well no more. Ms Hoag is a great detective author. She has interesting characters and great story line. I urge anyone out there to give her novels a read/listen. I know I will be listening to a lot more to her books.

Excellent listen
I have enjoyed Tami Hoag's writing, and although it is always disturbing to hear what people do to each other, it was good a story.

I actually looked forward to going to work!
I only listen to audio books on my way to and from work. I cheated twice with this one, I couldn't walk away! Every time I was pretty sure I'd figured it out, another twist would change my mind.
I'm going to buy more Tami Hoag books right now.
The narrator had a different voice and accent for each character, so much so that I didn't need to be told who was saying what. excellent job! Hillary Huber is up there with Stephen Fry in my books! no pun intended.

Excellent book, extremely well read!
This was a wonderful book and was read with absolute excellence. The stor is a brutal one so not for everyone but, if you enjoy a gritty crime novel, this one will keep you spellbound.
