Story
It’s been a decade since Trumanell Branson disappeared, leaving only a bloody handprint behind. Her pretty face still hangs like a watchful queen on the posters on the walls of the town’s Baptist church, the police station, and in the high school. They all promise the same thing: We will find you. Meanwhile, Tru's brother, Wyatt, lives as a pariah in the desolation of the old family house, cleared of wrongdoing by the police but tried and sentenced in the court of public opinion and in a new documentary about the crime.

MacLoed Andrews narrates this novella to perfection. From the scared captive to the psychotic killer(s), he is able to give this book the performance it deserves.

I am so glad I gave this one a try, the only complaint I have is that I WANT MORE!
This felt like a great opener for a new series. I know I would immensely enjoy a series that follows David in his "travels". It is hard to explain what I mean without giving spoilers so I will just say "take the leap and buy this book, you won't regret it!", well except maybe when your craving more.
McLoed Andrews was incredible as always, He really does the perfect psychotic calm character so well!
Excellent Short Story, I want more!

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Now knowing it wasn’t my regular genre it didn’t matter at all the moment it started I was drawn in. The writing is so vivid and detailed you can see it in your mind’s eye.
I liked that we got all 3 pov’s of the characters involved, you get invested this way.
I didn’t read the blurb; I just went in blind and was blown away at how much I liked it. I guess it goes to show you that venturing out of your “comforts zone” can be a great thing.
I want more, I am left with wanting. Even if I am a little creeped out, in a good way.
Let’s talk about the fantastic narration. MacLeod just adds that little bit extra, he has great presence, is that a word to describe a narrator? I don’t know but what I do know is this, this was my first audiobook by him and I loved the way he performed it.
*You don't have to like my review but its 100% my opinion, and I am allowed to have it.*

Narration:
I’m already a fan of Macleod Andrews and this is a great example of why. Distinct character voices, accents, and connecting emotionally with the story. Great fit for Shedlock’s writing.
Awesome short thriller
