About this listen

A gripping thriller about three young girlfriends, a dark obsession, and a chilling crime that shakes up a quiet Iowa town, from the New York Times best-selling author of The Weight of Silence.

For 12-year-old Cora Landry and her friends Violet and Jordyn, it was supposed to be an ordinary sleepover - movies and Ouija and talking about boys. But when they decide to sneak out to go to the abandoned rail yard on the outskirts of town, little do they know that their innocent games will have dangerous consequences.

Later that night, Cora Landry is discovered on the tracks, bloody and clinging to life, her friends nowhere to be found. Soon, their small rural town is thrust into a maelstrom. Who would want to hurt a young girl like Cora - and why? In an investigation that leaves no stone unturned, everyone is a suspect and no one can be trusted - not even those closest to Cora.

Before She Was Found is a timely and gripping thriller about friendship and betrayal, about the power of social pressure and the price of needing to fit in. It is about the great lengths a parent will go to protect their child and keep them safe - even if that means burying the truth, no matter the cost.

This book was really good until the end. Ending was such a let down. The ending could have gone in so many different directions that would have caused a 'WOW" finish. Instead it ended with 'WTF". Just didn't make any sense. The ending just ruined this book.

I found this book to be a surprisingly delicious thriller with an engrossing plot, an unexpected ending, and characters that I actually cared about. It is told from multiple perspectives, and what really made it so enjoyable was the excellent narration. The narrators did a superb job in the way they made each character come to life; the 12 year old girls sounded exactly like you would expect a 12 year old to sound in each given situation. The adult characters' voices were all distinct and perfectly suited for each. I was riveted to the story from the very beginning and was a very happy listener to the very end. This book would probably make a great movie! Highly recommend!

Totally worth a credit!!

not my all time favorite, but it kept me listening and interested! not crazy about the young girls voices, grated on my nerves! the kids could have sounded less "valley girl" like...ohhh my Gawwwd!🙄 but worth the credit I guess... didn't know "you did it" till the end of the last chapter!

very twisty turny!!!

Another great book from Gudenkauf it kept me guessing right up until the end. I could not put this book down it's part ripped from the headlines, part unreliable narrator, part mean girls and so much more. I was never sure which, if any, of these 3 girls were telling the truth or what was real what was imagined?

I don't want to give anything away because this book needs to unfold for you as it did me. I'll say just read it!

Brittany Pressley's narration was great she not only gave each of these 3 girls their own voice but the voices of all the other characters were their own to. I will definitely be on the look out for other books narrated by Pressley!

Highly recommend and will wait impatiently for the next book from this author!
