Publisher's summary

"Gudenkauf proves herself the master of the smart, suspenseful small-town thriller that gets right under your skin." (Gilly Macmillan, New York Times best-selling author of The Nanny)

Everyone has a secret they’ll do anything to hide....

Twenty-five years ago, the body of 16-year-old Eve Knox was found in the caves near her home in small-town Grotto, Iowa - discovered by her best friend, Maggie, and her sister, Nola. There were a handful of suspects, including her boyfriend, Nick, but without sufficient evidence the case ultimately went cold.

For decades Maggie was haunted by Eve’s death and that horrible night. Now a detective in Grotto, and seven months pregnant, she is thrust back into the past when a new piece of evidence surfaces and the case is reopened. As Maggie investigates and reexamines the clues, secrets about what really happened begin to emerge. But someone in town knows more than they’re letting on, and they’ll stop at nothing to keep the truth buried deep.

Check out these other riveting novels of suspense by best-selling author Heather Gudenkauf: The Weight of Silence, These Things Hidden, One Breath Away, Little Mercies, Missing Pieces, Not a Sound, and Before She Was Found.

Wow!

A really gripping story, with different twists on the typical mystery genre. As an avid reader of “true crime” style books, this story was really refreshing and I will definitely be reading more of the author’s works.

I only rated the narrator 4 stars because she overenunciates certain words (sick, stomach) which is just a bit annoying. Overall great performance, though.

Well thought out plot twists

predicted but still good

I knew half way who 'done it'. But was thrilled with the ending!! thank you for sharing your twisted mind in book form. I personally cannot handle the dog part so I skipped there.

Amazing!

This is the second book I've read from this author and like the first, you are kept guessing! The narrator has a pleasant voice and is easy to listen to.

Different kind of story line

The story was a bit different from the usual. It kept my interest with action and emotion. Nicely done!

Great Story

I really enjoyed this novel. The reader and story were great. It moved a good pace and wasn't predictable as some mystery novels could be. I will definitely check out more from this author.
