About this audiobook
The true story of a teenage killer and the silence of a small New England town.
For twenty years Daniel Paquette's murder in New Hampshire went unsolved. It remained a secret between two high school friends until Eric Windhurst's arrest in 2005. What was revealed was a crime born of adolescent passion between Eric and Daniel's stepdaughter, Melanie- redefining the meaning of loyalty, justice, and revenge.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5It was really good but a little hard to follow the different timelines.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Should have been edited way down by at least 30%
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Just made me think of those less fortunate children in school and wonder if they maybe were going through similar abuse. Definitely makes you think that you never really know what goes on behind closed doors.
