Todd Fielding, a newly married young woman, comes to Brindle for a job with the local newspaper, which plans to celebrate the town's centennial by printing photos and letters from the town's history. But the relics of the past hide a dark secret.
When a young girl disappears and no one in the town appears particularly concerned, Todd looks deeper. She uncovers the shocking fact that five other girls have run away from Brindle under strange circumstances over the past 20 years, but no one seems interested in finding them. As she begins to understand the history of a town steeped in evil, manipulation, and cold-blooded murder, she decides the secrecy has lasted far too long.

Critic reviews
"Combining oppressive isolation and creepy characters, genre veteran Wilhelm creates a genuinely eerie atmosphere that pulls readers in and keeps them turning the pages." (Booklist)
"One of the masters of psychological fiction in America." (San Francisco Chronicle)

This one was maybe 3.5 stars. I say this because one of the main characters (the icy wind) was never explained. Why does Todd feel it so strongly as an outsider? Why does she have such a strong psychological connection?
This thread is never completely explained by the author.
I enjoyed the story overall, I just wish the author had wrapped it up better. She brought us right up to the door of the doer, and -boom- that was it. None of the stuff that makes it a psychological twist was explained. I was looking for a past ancestor connection or something. This was a hole in the story and now I feel unfulfilled as a reader.
Good, but left a bit undone.

First off, the beginning and ending the book have a couple minutes of creepy music. I didn’t like that.
Secondly, The narrator sounded like Ellen DeGeneres to me. I didn’t care for her portrayal of the men in the book. It sounded very false. However, I realize there were a lot of characters to keep track of, and in that sense she did a good job separating them by using different voices for different characters.
Thirdly, the main character’s name (female) was Todd. I struggled with that throughout the whole book. And her husband’s name was Barney. That name is just too old-fashioned for the story setting. In fact, the historical figures in the story had more modern names than some other current story characters. Odd
But I enjoyed the Oregon setting, and how the story unfolded. Worth the listen, I’d say.
Story was pretty good!
