A young mother has done everything possible to put the past behind her, but it might not be enough in a gripping novel of suspense by the Amazon Charts bestselling author of the Jane Doe novels.

Abandoned by her fugitive ex-husband, Lily Brown is rebuilding her life on the edge of a Kansas town that still feels the sting of his crimes. Lily lies low, managing the isolated storage facility where she lives with her twelve-year-old son, Everett, and planning a better future for them both. That requires keeping secrets. Everett has them too.

After breaking into a storage unit, Everett finds photographs and news clippings of five girls missing for decades. For Everett, it’s an adventure and a tempting mystery to solve. But digging further into a stranger’s obsession is putting Everett and his mother in the crosshairs of a killer.

Then Lily’s ex resurfaces from the shadows. Just as suddenly, an attentive new man enters Lily’s life. And a suspicious detective, responding to reports of a prowler, watches every move Lily makes. It’s getting harder for Lily to know who to trust—or whose secrets pose the most frightening threat of all.

“Sarah Mollo-Christensen's smoky voice conveys the worry and tear that eventually overcome Lily and Everett. A slow burner that propels listeners into a nail-biting conclusion, leaving them holding their breath. Perfect for fans of Lisa Jackson and Iris Johansen.”—Library Journal

“The plot’s many twists and turns will stun and surprise readers. Suspense fans will get their money’s worth.”—Publishers Weekly

“Sharp and sophisticated, At the Quiet Edge commanded my attention from the captivating first chapter to the electrifying ending.”—Minka Kent, Washington Post bestselling author

I loved this book. I thought I had figured it out halfway through but was no where close. Truly well written and verbalized.

GREAT unexpected finish

I keep forgetting to check narrator before ordering. This one drives me batty! Her exaggerated inflection and breathiness are so distracting! And the story was just meh.

Narrator stinks

good story

I don't know who said this was a fast-paced thriller because it was not. Well, not until the end. You have to read 2/3 into the book before things start getting exciting. Part of me wanted to stop reading but the other part wanted to know how it end so, I finished it.

Good book just slow until almost the end.

This isn’t the first book I’ve listened to narrated by this same woman. Her breathy whispery voice is grating after a while.

What’s With the Breathy Whispering

This story had a lot of promise but the author seems to focus on hitting on trending moments which turns off many readers. I wish that more authors would remember that people turn to fiction to escape the craziness of the world and not to be immersed in political correctness drama.

Does the bad guy always need to be a cop?
Does a heavy focus on a gay character make a difference?

Most cops are good and really want to help make our country safe. Instead of focusing heavily on the sexuality of a character, add it to the story as a normal part of daily life. That, at least to me, would do more to normalize a the life for gay people that to thrust them into a constant spotlight. My uncle is gay and one of the greatest people I know. He just wants to be treated like everyone else. Just my 2 cents.

Tries to check too many boxes

Good surprises

Single mom, Lily, is managing a storage facility because it provides a home for herself and her son. Her ex was a conman who ran away with lots of money so living on the edge of town works for Lily. Not so much for her 12yo son, Everett. He’s the only kid around so he spends his time sneaking into units for fun. Until the contents of one unit spooks him. Everett and his new friend search for clues while Lily tries to keep a detective at bay…he’s looking for her husband. Very complicated story but if you stick with it, the ending will answer all the questions!
