This is my first written review, but after listening to the end of the book, especially being a mom, I just could not help myself!
The book is gripping, beautifully written, and the narrator has always been one of my favorites.
It is the ending that you can never see coming, but mostly (and I will not spoil it for you at all), heart breaking. I never thought I could actually stop breathing and start crying the way I did..
For all of you readers, especially mothers and fathers, brace yourselves, and hold your kids tight!!!

This book held my attention the whole time. I enjoyed the narrator and the voices of characters. Loved the ending.

I loved this book. Some days I sat in the work parking lot listing to just one more chapter before heading in. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in a crime/court novel. With that being said, I don’t think I could listen to it again. Once you learned all the “evidence” you can’t re-listen with the same enjoyment. The development of the case chapter by chapter and all the twist and turns makes this book very exciting.

The most memorable moment for me was when Jacob’s friend, Derrick, confided in Andy what he told the police about Jacob. It was at that point I realized the story wasn’t as clear cut as I expected.

Great story. The audio was a little drab to listen to at first since I am used to speeding up the tracks. If you listen any faster than 1.25 it jumbles too many words. Great ending. Nice to read with your ears!

This book is a depressing tragedy. I knew it would not end well almost immediately. I would not recommend this book.

Yes, now that I know how the story ends, I would like to be aware of how the author set the events up.

Unexpected turns of events.

The father was my favorite.

Shocking ending.

Hard to put down.

Truly loved this one! The narrator really brought this story to life. The ending is chilling!!! I thought I had the whole thing figured out a couple of times, but the author is great with his twists and kept me on my toes.

I listened to the entire book within a day. It was an utterly compelling psychological thriller with plenty of twists and turns. The narrator does not use a lot of different voices but reads with excellent dramatic delivery. If you like murder mysteries, family and/or courtroom dramas that keep you guessing, try this one.!

Incredible. Listen to books at double speed which thoroughly enhanced the trial scenes here. Wow, the end was amazing. Listened while running a race and believe me it totally distracted me from the miserably cold rain! It is wonderfully written, narrated and brought to life. Not expounding on plot since don't want to give anything away but believe me it's worth every second of listening time. Loved loved

Throughly enjoyed the story and the narrator. It is a very innovative storyline and the legal wrangling going on through gives the story extra heft. Hard to stop listening-which is the highest compliment.
