About this listen
"Let me out! Please...." My tiny fists pound the door, but my voice reverberates off the stone walls and hangs in the air as if suspended by spider’s webs. No one comes....
Years later, a woman is found face-down in a pool of blood. Detective Lottie Parker is called to the remote farmhouse in the bleak Irish countryside. Inside, she finds a scene that speaks of uncontrollable rage: glasses smashed, chairs ripped apart, the woman’s body broken.
A black rain jacket makes Lottie think she knows the killer’s identity, but then she finds a disturbing clue: is the murder linked to an old case at St Declan’s asylum - a case investigated by her own father, just before he took his life?
When another victim is left without her tongue on the hospital steps, and a young girl goes missing, Lottie knows she has to act fast. Can she face her own demons and uncover the truth before another life is taken?
An absolutely gripping book from the best-selling author of The Missing Ones and The Stolen Girls. If you love Rachel Abbott, Angela Marsons, or Robert Dugoni, you’ll be completely hooked.

Porter Beck is the sheriff in the high desert of Nevada, north of Las Vegas. Born and raised there, he left to join the Army, where he worked in Intelligence, deep in the shadows in far off places. Now he's back home, doing the same lawman's job his father once did, before his father started to develop dementia. All is relatively quiet in this corner of the world, until on old, retired FBI agent is found killed. He was brutally tortured before he was killed and clues at the scene point to a mystery dating back to the early days of the nuclear age.

After arriving on Block Island to find her birth mother, Blake Bronson becomes convinced she’s the heroine of a gothic novel—the kind that allowed her intermittent escape from a traumatic childhood. How else to explain the torrential rain, the salt-worn mansion known as White Hall, and the restless ghost purported to haunt its halls? But before Blake can discern the novel’s ending, she’s found dead, murdered in a claw-foot tub. The proprietress of White Hall stands accused.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 25
It’s a question everyone asks themselves, but few have to face in real life. English teacher Richard Boyle certainly never thought he would find himself talking down a former student intent on harming others, but when Mark LeDrew shows up at Richard’s school with a bomb strapped to his chest, Richard immediately jumps into action. Thanks to some quick thinking, he averts a major tragedy and is hailed as a hero, but not all the attention focused on him is positive.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 19
Lex Gracie doesn't want to think about her family. She doesn't want to think about growing up in her parents' House of Horrors. And she doesn't want to think about her identity as Girl A: the girl who escaped, the eldest sister who freed her older brother and four younger siblings. It's been easy enough to avoid her parents - her father never made it out of the House of Horrors he created, and her mother spent the rest of her life behind bars. But when her mother dies in prison and leaves Lex and her siblings the family home, she can't run from her past any longer.

Too many characters.
I found it very hard to keep track of the characters in this story.
Throw in first and last names, and I was lost.

Just loved this
This is the second time I have listened to this audiobook and I was just as enthralled now as the first time. The storyline was extremely interesting and convoluted and the surprise ending was a kicker. I would also thank the narrator for making the story come alive…she is amazing. This author and narrator are a deadly combination…a force to be reckoned with for sure.

Very confusing
The story itself was interesting but by the end of the book I was very confused and had to force myself to finish. Too many characters !

ok
So here's the thing. The protagonist is an addict. It is very hard to be compassionate towards her, even though, yes, it is an illness, because of how her addictions impact her children (and her job) Her kids are a mess and it is infuriating. She's useless at both parenting and police work.
That whole thing takes up a good chunk of the story, and it's in no way enjoyable.
The other thing is, I'm not sure of were supposed to like her or root for her or not. I feel like the author wants us to like her/find her sympathetic? I think it might have been less aggravating if we were actually meant to kind of hate her, or at least understand that she's, currently, irredeemable. I can't really explain it, just that the fact that we're supposed to like her makes it that much worse. I just get so angry, which is a testament to the writing, I guess. She's very realistically written, not a BAD person, but a selfish, ineffectual woman-child, a perpetual victim who won't accept responsibility for her actions. She means well and wants to help, but she can't until she gets some help, herself.
And then sadsack Boyd who absolutely deserves her. And her comically awful kids, who come by it honestly, and her trope of a mother. Yeah, the characters are all maddening, and, unfortunately, it's a character driven story.
The mystery was ok, but pretty forgettable. It felt like filler, only there to pad out the introduction of the next disaster to hit the Parker family, an adoption scandal, and psychotic long-lost relatives.
Why do I keep coming back for more?
