Resumen del Editor

“A gem of a mystery, fast-paced and suspenseful.” --Catherine Coulter, # 1 New York Times bestselling author

No suspects. No persons of interest. Just a girl who was alive one day and dead the next.

Some places seem too beautiful to be touched by horror. Summit Lake, nestled in North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains, is that kind of place. But two weeks ago, Becca Eckersley, a first-year law student and daughter of a powerful attorney, was brutally murdered there. Now the town is reeling with grief, and the police are baffled.

“An exciting debut, with all the right touches, captivating from the first page to the last.” --Steve Berry, New York Times bestselling author

At first, investigative reporter Kelsey Castle thinks of the assignment as a fluff piece. But the savagery of the crime, and the efforts to keep it quiet, hint at something far more sinister than a random attack by a stranger. As Kelsey digs deeper, despite danger and warnings, she feels a growing connection to the dead girl. And the more she learns about Becca’s friendships, her love life - and her secrets - the more convinced she becomes that walking in Becca’s footsteps could lead her out of her own dark past....

“A swift, outstanding debut.” --Robert Dugoni, New York Times bestselling author

“Fans of contemporary suspense will enjoy this brisk read.” --Booklist

loved the story but

missing the explanation of who didn't want the answers out
nice twist at the end
will read more of the authors work

The author thinks the reader is stupid

First off, I liked the narrator. So my problem is all story related. While listening remember that these are adults. Ok? Adults do not act, think, talk or behave this way. Then as the story unfolds remember that the journalist is dealing with adult professionals. Ok? Cops, business owners and especially doctors would not act, think, talk or behave this way. The author had a story he wanted to tell and he wasn’t going to let any amount of silliness stop him. He doesn’t respect his fans. It’s so lazy and unrealistic. Wouldn’t recommend and in fact would like an apology from the author.

love this writer

The style this writer uses is my favorite! I love having to guess until the very end trying to figure out who done it.

Good Mystery

I enjoyed the audio book. The narration was good, in my opinion. I was supprised by who the killer was, and the story kept my attention. Thought a little of the story kinda farfetched (in regards to how much info was given to a reporter, and how easily she shared her secrets with a friend she only knew for a few days ), but other than that I liked it.

Final twist is worth the listen!

This book captivated me from the beginning and I actually gasped when the final twist came. The narrators voice was somewhat scratchy and got to me a couple times but this book is definitely worth the listen!

I couldn't stop listening to this book!

this book captures you on its first page and never let you go. I couldn't do anything until I finish this book.

a great mystery!

kept me guessing, never saw the truth coming. the beginning did seem a bit slow, but quickly turned interesting

Captivating mystery

A well told mystery, but have to give a warning that there’s a brutal rape and murder scene involving a pregnant woman that’s pretty disturbing.

Wonderful book

Really enjoyed the story. Great story. Highly recommend.
Much better than books I've had to pay for.
Love that it was part of my audible membership.

Great performance - Really Good Story

There was only one convenient twist that the tracted from the story a little bit. But it all tied together in the end. I like the story I like the character development I like the length and the pace of the book. The performance of the reader was exceptional.
