Publisher's summary

A woman gets involved with a psychic who may be able to find her missing son.

Five footprints are the only sign that four-year-old Daniel Buck was ever here. Every day, Anna Buck guards the little prints in the cement. Polishing them to a shine. Keeping them safe. Spiraling toward insanity. Anna is desperate for hope, which she's not getting from the police or her husband, James. So when a woman tells her she's found a true psychic, a "shut eye", she grasps at it. Maybe he can tell her what happened to her son. But when she meets the psychic, what she gets is not at all what she suspected.

Very good listen

Any additional comments?

IF you can get past the first few chapters it turns into a great story. Slow start.

No closure

This story is highly engaging but the story meanders at the end too many questions go unanswered while other details make no sense.

excellent

I purchased this book as a daily deal from Audible and I'm so glad that I did! I like the way all the pieces from the different mysteries come together at the end. I feel like the ending could have been a little better, but overall it's a great book.

Great mystery - very innovative

I read and listen to a lot of mysteries and this one kept me intrigued. It kept me guessing until the end and that it not an easy thing to do. The narration was spot on. I very much enjoyed this book. Highly recommend.

Very Creepy, Sad Story. Worth a Listen!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes. It is a little disturbing, but not in a scary way.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

I wouldn't say it kept me on the edge of my seat, but it definitely kept my interest. It was a little difficult for me to visualize the surroundings. Especially areas of the garage.

Have you listened to any of Andrew Wincott’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This is my first one.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I was just sad for everyone in the story. I wanted the oriental man to find love and live happily ever after. I wanted his Boss to stop mistreating him.

Captivating Listen

Any additional comments?

I hesitated buying this book from the Daily Deal offering, but I am so glad I did. The "psychic" angle put me off as I usually don't that type of read, but it was not overdone. This is a good mystery with a dash of the paranormal. The characters are very intriguing and the narrator is very polished. If this were a paper book I would say I couldn't put it down. Since it was an audio book I will say instead - I couldn't unplug.

Murder and Ghosts

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this story. There was a satisfying mixture of mystery, madness and the supernatural. All the characters are flawed, but somehow reaching for the light. Inspector Marvel wants so badly to be a hardcore cynical jerk; but he tries to hard and is too sentimental for that. Anna is certainly mad, but even so, she tries to help someone else. Even the antagonist is not wholly evil, but rather twisted by circumstance. I also like how not everything is answered and not everything works out in the end. I am, however, bothered by the motivation for the first kidnapping, which seem too far fetched. Other than that, this was a very entertaining story.
