Publisher's summary

When the Tuckers' next-door neighbor mentions someone rang their doorbell late the previous night, Sarah and Kenny Tucker check their home's security camera and discover something shocking: the doorbell ringer also visited their house and it wasn't a teenager playing a prank, but instead a terrified young woman with a shackle hanging from her right wrist. She anxiously pressed the doorbell again and again, glancing over her shoulder as if someone was coming for her, before giving up and taking off into the dark.

Almost overnight, she becomes known as The Girl on the Porch—and she's everywhere. There are updates on all the local networks, national coverage on CNN and Fox News, and the video goes viral on social media. Before long, everyone has seen the harrowing security camera footage.

Kenny and Sarah figure it's only a matter of time before someone recognizes the woman, but as the days pass and no one comes forward, odd things begin to transpire around the Tucker family: a man intensely watches them at a restaurant and then vanishes, fresh footprints appear in the garden next to their house where no one should have been, a neighbor's pet is viciously killed and mutilated, and a mysterious man has started following their daughter Natalie . . .

Disapointing

This is the most disappointed I have been in several years of listening to audible. I have really been looking forward to this book for a while and the narrator completely ruined it. The narrator often mumbles and swallows his words and frequently drops to a whisper making it difficult to hear. The recording also seemed sub par and would often fluctuate in volume. The author could have done a lot more with the story although I think I missed a lot because of the terrible narration. If I had used a credit on the book I would have returned for a refund but since I paid the sale price I couldn’t return and instead forced myself to keep listening hoping that things would improve.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
