Publisher's summary

A mother’s unthinkable crime and an investigator’s forgotten past collide in a shocking novel of suspense by Anne Frasier, the New York Times bestselling author of The Body Reader.

Private detective Olivia Welles hasn’t been to her hometown since her childhood, not since the night she died. She has no memory of the world before the car crash or of coming back to life in the morgue. But now, years later, when fellow survivor Bonnie Ray calls from a Kansas jail begging for help, Olivia feels the tug of a dark and unremembered past.

Bonnie looks guilty of murdering her young son—Bonnie’s third child to die under suspicious circumstances. Intrigued and seeking closure, Olivia agrees to investigate.

Back in the foreboding town where her heart stopped and started again, Olivia finds an unexpected ally in Will LaFever, a journalist with his own motives for uncovering the truth. Together they unearth more than they expect about Bonnie, her traumatized family, and the crime.

You’re lucky you don’t remember any of it, Olivia’s father used to say. But Olivia’s luck is running out. This time, escaping Finney County with her life might be impossible.

I liked the surprising twist towards the end.

The book was well written and seemed plausible even though the story was on the edge of unbelievable.

Excellent narration

Good characters in an interesting small-town murder case, with a dose of humor in it

Lots of surprises

It took me a few chapters to get into this book because I initially didn’t find the characters likable. I was contemplating giving up on the book but then it got good and kept getting better and better. Once I got into this book I couldn’t stop listening. I ended up liking the characters and the twists in the story just keep coming. I will definitely read/listen to more books by this author.

An enjoyable, unique 4 1/2 star read

The Night I Died: A Thriller, my tenth read from author Anne Frasier and the first in a long while. Outstanding psychological thriller/mystery. 7-hours 39-minute/283-pages with more twists & turns than the Gordian Knot. I was given an Audible copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review." The gifting of this book did not affect my opinion of it. Narrator Barrie Kreinik's narration adds to the book's enjoyment. Truly Dead: Elise Sandburg, Book 4. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018). (RIP Marley January 2 is high in my TBR list after reading this book. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).

Very good plot

I like the fact that you didn’t know what was going to happen. Narration was a perfect voice, soft easy to listen to.

Different in a good way

What a story! Explosive revelations unfolding one at a time, kind of like watching a train wreck, lol. Characters and their backgrounds weren’t fully developed and sometimes the tone/ inflection of the narrator didn’t seem to fit scenarios, but the story was engaging enough to slough off those distractions.

the description of the mid west- Kansas and it's flatness. I could visually picture the silos, the corn, the alfafa

I loved the story line! The eventual unmasking of Bonnie, and Eva- their psychopathy blew my mind! killing babies for likes? And then poisoning the entire parade? wow! In this book Karma is a b*tch!. I enjoyed this book and the narration.
