Wonderland

By: Jennifer Hillier

Narrated by: Eunice Wong

From the bestselling author of the hugely popular thrillers Things We Do in the Dark, Little Secrets, and Jar of Hearts comes Wonderland, a roller coaster of a listen. Now in audio for the first time!

After a personal tragedy and professional scandal forces homicide detective Vanessa Castro out of Seattle, she takes a new job in Seaside, Washington, determined to make a fresh start for herself and her family. The small beach town, best known for its popular amusement park, Wonderland, seems like the perfect place to raise her young son and teenage daughter.

But it's not that easy starting over, especially as the town's new Deputy Chief of Police. When a dead body turns up at the park her first day on the job, and then a teenage Wonder Worker goes missing, Vanessa's investigation is met with resistance. After all, Wonderland is the largest amusement park in the Pacific Northwest, attracting tourists from all over the country and providing thousands of jobs for the locals. A scandal that hurts the park hurts the town, but the more questions Vanessa asks, the more questions arise . . . especially when she learns that the missing teenage boy is the not the first park employee to disappear. The deeper she goes, the more she begins to suspect that the terrifying rumors about Wonderland's dark past might actually be true.

Surrounded by secrets, lies, and corruption at the highest levels, Vanessa's family is now in the center of a serial killer's twisted game . . . and there's nobody she can trust but herself.

I live Jennifer Hiller!

This book was excellent! I love how richly she develops her characters! If you have already read little secrets then you may remember the main character Vanessa as the PI in Little Secrets! I love how she weaves in the characters from other stories!

I enjoyed this

I would recommend it is a good thriller murder mystery. Was not able to figure out who the killer was until the end of the book.

I’ve waited 2 years…

I’m a huge fan of Jennifer Hillier. I’ve listened to every book she has written over the last 2 years and have been waiting for Wonderland…the final one! (I’ve read everything out of order!)
She is an EXCELLENT story teller and the appearance of previous characters is just an awesome surprise little nugget. I desire to visit The Green Bean and meet Jerry. Wonderland was a wonderful, spooky thrill. I’m waiting for her next one!!! Awesome narrator as always…so many voices in one lady’s arsenal. Really talented. Come on, Ms. Hillier…I’m ready for your next one!

Fast paced

I love all hillier books . It is always fast paced and not boring . Always a twist in the end .

Wow

I actually bought this audiobook by mistake and I’m very glad I did. It drew me in from the beginning. The characters were all so complex and real. I played the book out in my head like a movie. I can not wait to read more of this author.

The twist

I thought it was very vulgar, but that’s about the only bad thing in the story. The characters were great, and the pace didn’t have me bored once.

Surprises

I am a huge fan of Jennifer and this book didn’t disappoint. It was fun she brought a character from another book. I loved listening to this story and didn’t expect the ending.

Worth A Purchase

Good book. Can't say it's a great one but definitely worth the credit. Ending could have been more in-depth. Narrator great as always.

Yes!!

Absolutely loved it. Super excited for this and was very happy with the story. Would recommend!

wonderfully atmospheric and creepy

Vanessa is a wonderfully flawed character, and the combination of seeing her in action while also getting insights from her daughter Ava adds great depth to her character development. I was delighted when a character from a previous series made an appearance, further enriching the story. Jennifer Hillier never fails to surprise me; just when I think I have it figured out, the reveals and betrayals cut deep. This is a perfect read for the spooky season—a police procedural filled with plenty of unsettling elements and truly unexpected twists! Highly recommend!
