Publisher's summary

Too close...

The site of the old campus bungalow where two girls were brutally slain is now a flower patch covered with chrysanthemums. It's been 50 years since the Immaculate Conception Murders. Three more students and a teacher were killed in a sickening spree that many have forgotten. But there is one person who knows every twisted detail...

To see...

Hannah O'Rourke and her volatile half-sister, Eden, have little in common except a parent. Yet they've ended up at the same small college outside Chicago, sharing a bungalow with another girl. Hannah isn't thrilled - nor can she shake the feeling that she's being watched. And her journalism professor, Ellie Goodwin, keeps delving into Hannah and Eden's newsworthy past...

The danger...

When Hannah and Eden's arrival coincides with a spate of mysterious deaths, Ellie knows it's more than a fluke. A copycat is recreating those long-ago murders. Neither the police nor the school will accept the horrific truth. And the more Ellie discovers, the more she's convinced that she won't live to be believed...

I think story will be pretty good If different person would read it, narrator was really not good, I stopped number of times thinking I can’t handle it anymore…..

Multiple characters to keep you reading

Many storylines going and took concentration to keep track of the complex characters, but enjoyable.

Kevin's stories are great, but....

Great story, HORRIBLE READER!!!!!
I forced myself to get to the end, but I had to listen in bits and bytes. The reader seems to portray breathless, whinny girls, nearly always on the verge of tears, and an excessive amount of drama. I will avoid listening to ANYTHING she reads in the future.

Sisters

The story was good but the narration was overly dramatic - the level of ‘alarm’ was way too consistently present making it an exhausting listen!

Over-dramatic narrator

The narrator was so hard to listen to, everything was so dramatic and over the top.

Great Story Line

This series of books are some of the best I’ve listened to since becoming a member of Audible! The narrator is FANTASTIC as well.

O’Brien never fails to enthrall

I have now read several of O’Brien’s books, and I am amazed how each one is so vastly different  with such attention to detail of each and every sub-plot. The narrator is an excellent storyteller, as well.
