About this listen

Another outstanding crime thriller from the highly acclaimed author of Tall Oaks.

Raine sometimes complains that nothing exciting is ever gonna happen in Grace, Alabama, again. Daddy told her careful what you wish for.

Everyone loves Summer Ryan. A model student and musical prodigy, she's a ray of light in the struggling small town of Grace - especially compared to her troubled sister, Raine. Then Summer goes missing. Grace is already simmering, and with this new tragedy the police have their hands full keeping the peace.

Only Raine throws herself into the search supported by a most unlikely ally. But perhaps there was always more to Summer than met the eye....

this is my third Chris Whitaker story and it did not disappoint. Its a mix of suspense, family relationships and mystery. however I found the narration very irritating and this irritation made the story difficult to follow at times. just read the story, not every character has to have a voice!
I would of enjoyed this more reading it rather than listening to it. it is still a great story.what I like about his writing his how he brings all the strands neatly together at the end. very satisfying.

Great story badly narrated.

This was unputdownable! I am suffering this morning because I eventually finished listening at 02:24 as I just couldn’t switch it off. Chris Whitaker’s characters come to life and I really cared about what happened to them, especially Noah, Purv and Rain and Black. It will keep you guessing to the end. Brilliant.

A wonderful story, beautifully read

Vanessa Labrie narrated this very well - with one exception - scenes sometimes ran into each other very suddenly and it could be confusing at times before realising we've moved on to a different part of the story. Aside from that - she stayed faithful voicewise to range of characters which helps immensely.

Chris Whitaker has written a story peopled throughout with characters having rich back stories - obviously though focusing on a few in particular. This led me to a pretty strong engagement with them and I found myself caring what happened to them as the story unfolded.

The one thing that I found really irritating - though I guess it reflected the relevant characters - was the endless barrage of double negatives - "we weren't doing nothing, there weren't nothing to see, ..." So much so I was worried I'd forget how I should be speaking myself.

All in all a memorable listen.

This book is a must listen. Tough, but gentle. It reminded me of Stephen King's Stand by Me. The author has an incredible way of making you really know the characters, their darkness and their light. It is a beautiful story about broken people, about redemption and recompense.

Beautiful, breathtaking, bold

I don't know how Chris Whitaker does it. His creations of small town, rural, blue collar America and the characters he populates them with are extraordinarily compelling. There's a depth, sense of real lived experience, and richness to the capsuled worlds he creates that is breath-taking, giving they spring from the imagination of a young non-American writer based in a country town in the south-east of England.

Extraordinary

This audio dosent come close to previous novels by this Author.There are way to many characters in this novel which made it difficult to follow the plot and who was who in relation to the plot.

My least favourite novel by this Author.

I’m half way through I’m not sure if I can finish the narrations is driving me crazy. The character voices are so bad, really amateur like someone trying to put in silly voices. The voice of Black makes him sound like a wasted teenager. I’ve got a feeling it’d be better to actually read.
Update - I did finish it, story was ok, narration didn’t improve. Not the authors best

The narration is ruining the story
