    About this audiobook

    From the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of The Silent Girls comes another unforgettable thriller set in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom, featuring Detective Sonja Test

    Even in a quiet Vermont town, unspeakable acts of the past can destroy the peace of the present

    In the remote, pastoral hamlet of Canaan, Vermont, a high-profile legal case shatters the town's sense of peace and community. Anger simmers. Fear and prejudice awaken. Old friends turn on each other. Violence threatens.

    So when a young teenage girl is savagely murdered while babysitting at the house of the lead attorney in the case, Detective Sonja Test believes the girl's murder and the divisive case must be linked.

    However, as the young detective digs deeper into her first murder case, she discovers sordid acts hidden for decades, and learns that behind the town's idyllic façade of pristine snow lurks a capacity in some for great darkness and the betrayal of innocents. And Sonja Test, a mother of two, will do anything to protect the innocent.

      This book was awful. I pushed through to chapter 51 before I put the old girl out of her misery. (Me.) I don’t know if the horrible, monotone voice of the narrator had anything to do with how much I disliked this book, but all the characters sounded the same. Young Brian...Bradley? sounded just like the female detective who sounded like old man North. I couldn’t get into any of the storylines. It was chapter after chapter rehashing the same thing...e x c e p t ... in....slow...monotone...

      This was a pretty good book. It wasn't my favorite of Eric's by any means though.
