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.

Best One Yet

I have listened to all Heather’s books and this is the best one yet. Twists and turns are all thru the book. Brittany Presley’s narration is the icing on the cake.
