About this listen

For years, the town of Silver Bell, Arkansas has quietly mourned the hospital fire that claimed the lives of nine of its residents—the town doctor, a young expectant mother, and seven infants. So, when journalist Finn Hardwick is assigned the story as part of a national thirtieth anniversary memorial service, he arrives at the town ready to interview its residents, thinking they’ll be ready to share and eager to make headlines. He isn’t prepared for the resistance. Or for what appears to be a collective unwillingness to answer his questions.

Faced with one roadblock after another, Finn enlists the help of Billi Ellis, the young motel receptionist that everyone in the town seems to like. Maybe she can get them to open up to him. Maybe she can help him make sense of everything he keeps uncovering. Especially the unexpected tie this tragedy appears to have to his own life. A tie that leads him directly to the old woman who seems to hold the key to everything. The woman everyone avoids…the woman they call “dirty”…the woman who hasn’t spoken a word to anyone since the day the hospital burned.

Fantastic story telling

I enjoyed the mystery element and the characters were likeable. I feel a bit was pushed too far - the amount of poor treatment of Sally was a bit unbelievable, along with some of the descriptions of the couple married 20+ years, a little cheesy and unrealistic. But all in all, an enjoyable easy listen.

Enjoyable and easy read

Great characters. Great feel good ending even though it was foreshadowed early in the story.

Predictable but feel good

It was a good story and kept me
Interested although it was very easy to predict the ending. The male narrator, however, was shall I say using a “smirky” voice? I had a hard time trying to focus on what he was saying rather than how he was saying it. Poor choice for the character of Finn.

Predictable but good.
