Publisher's summary

The lights are on at the Singleton vacation home on Lopez Island, Washington, illuminating the horror within. Scott Singleton, former NFL-star-turned-television-evangelist, lies dead. The bodies of his wife and four of their five children are found on the second floor, bound, gagged, and stabbed repeatedly. The oldest daughter was shot downstairs. And the police's main suspect - the property caretaker - has disappeared.

In her secluded vineyard home two hours away, Laura Gretchell is on edge. Her husband is out of town on business, and the children are understandably shaken. Laura tries to tell herself there's no reason to fear. Then the door handle rattles, and the real terror begins.

They're in her house, holding her children hostage, and Laura has only one option: Do exactly what the intruders say. But as Laura races to find the information they seek, she realizes that the enemies within her own home are only part of the nightmare. Because someone wants to keep the truth hidden at any cost, no matter how many more must die....

The storyline and the characters.

The story is captivating and leads you one way by taking you away from the real villains via actual villains. Interesting.

Jack Nicholson Terrorizes Central Washington

Good story—decent performance. It might be time for the author to venture away from the Seattle. I realize you write from what you know, but Washington state is getting a little tiresome. One of the main antagonists is performed as sounding like Jack Nicholson…would be amusing if not so obvious.

Happy Mother’s Day

As I celebrate Mother”s Day for the blessing of 6 amazing children…. I also concluded this epic read of a mom’s unstoppable desire to protect her family at all costs! This was a nightmare!!!! But in conclusion, evil lost only wounding the good!!! Fantastic read!!!!

Could not put it down!

The story was interesting from the very beginning. It had a lot of twist, which were worked in very well. I’m looking for another book by this!

Great characters!

The narrator was great. The the story was great. i would have loved the back story developed and explored more (cult). This was another favorite of mine from O'Brian.

Captivating!

Excellent character development and a spellbinding story. I always enjoy Kevin’s writing, made even better with great narration by Daniel Thomas May.

Another Great Book!!

Excellent story line and loved how everything is tied together at the end. Some books you can visualize the endings, but not Kevin O'Brien's books!! Edge of my seat the whole time!!
