About this listen

On a cold January night, Sharon Lemke heads outside to see a lunar eclipse when she notices something odd at the house behind her backyard. Through her neighbor's kitchen window, she sees what appears to be a little girl washing dishes late at night. But the Fleming family doesn't have a child that age, and even if they did, why would she be doing housework at this late hour?

It would be easy for Sharon to just let this go, but when eighteen-year-old Niki, a former foster child, comes to live with Sharon, she notices suspicious activity at the Flemings' house as well. When calling social services doesn't result in swift action, the two decide to investigate on their own…

Ease of understanding who the characters were and how they fit together.

I really found nothing to dislike. The only issue I ever had was skipping sometimes. But I am sure that was just a wifi problem.

Great story

Loved the suspenseful plot, and kindness of some of the characters, but disliked the mild profanity. Great narration !

Serious yet light and entertaining

I REALLY enjoyed this book and plan to look for more by this author. It isn't great literature; in fact, there are a few flaws that I wish the author and editor had avoided, because the novel could have been elevated to a higher literary quality. For example, there were a couple of events in the middle that bordered on ridiculous and contrived, and the novel waters down the overarching theme of the novel, which is modern slavery--for example, using "servant" where "slave" was the correct term. All that considered, though, I found the plotting and characterization engaging and was hooked most of the time. And honestly, the villain of the novel is one of the best characters I've come across in a long time--the kind I love to hate. I looked forward to her scenes and was bummed when I didn't get a final scene of reckoning. I'd like to see this character in another novel, but she isn't the protagonist type, so it's doubtful. Anyway, I highly recommend this! As a bonus, it is relatively clean with little swearing, no sex, and little violence.

Well written and marriages book

The book keeps you hooked. So well written with such an amazing story, a real story for too many foster kids, I so wish most of the will have the end the little one here did. All characters were well played . I want more books like this.

I can't really pick out one thing I love the whole story.

the only thing that displeased me is the depiction of the elderly people in this story. I am an 86-year-old woman and if you were to speak to me on the phone you would think of me as being maybe in my thirties I don't have a quivering voice and that was the only thing that displeased me about this whole thing
