Photographer Isla Wilson is thrilled she's landed her dream job, but the clients who hired her are getting stranger by the day. It sounded so perfect—a month's assignment at the lush Scottish Highlands property of architect Alban McGregor, and his wife, Jessica. But in the woods, there's a playhouse with a chilling history. Two years ago, the McGregors' daughter Elodie was abducted and then died in that playhouse. The townspeople insist her abductor had to be a stranger in their town. Alban refuses to knock the playhouse down, even keeping a picture of it on his wall.

Jacob Hunt is a teen with Asperger's syndrome. He's hopeless at reading social cues or expressing himself well to others, though he is brilliant in many ways. But he has a special focus on one subject - forensic analysis. A police scanner in his room clues him in to crime scenes, and he's always showing up and telling the cops what to do. And he's usually right. But when Jacob's small hometown is rocked by a terrible murder, law enforcement comes to him. Jacob's behaviors are hallmark Asperger's, but they look a lot like guilt to the local police.

Enjoyed the story
I’ve read and listened to several of Jodi Picoult’s books. While I found all but one enjoyable, I believe this is the best that I’ve encountered. Each of her books leaves me feeling that I’ve learned something new. Her research is so in-depth. This book gave me insight into how and why my Grandfather could find humor and tell jokes about his experiences in the small East Texas Town and surrounding communities, where he and his parents lived and raised families. His parents were slaves in their youth. These were often slavery jokes that had been passed down. I’d think, “That’s disgusting!” A person gets so accustomed to even the most disgusting cruelty that it becomes so commonplace that in hindsight, it’s funny.

Swept up, listen to this book!
Riveting story, had me guessing at every page how this would end. Emotionally charged storyline - and I left with a larger understanding from a different point of view and feeling even more empathy and love for each person held captive and their family members.

Loved it!
Although posts of it were difficult to read, the different timelines and perspectives provided some relief from the horrors of the concentration camp. I loved all the characters and the ending was wonderful.

Difficult to follow
I absolutely love Jodi Picoult books, but this one was hard to follow in the audio format. Perhaps reading it might be completely different. I was not expecting the flashback, which was difficult to listen to. I even had to stop the book for a few days.
Not my favorite from this author but still a good read.

Eye opening!
Made me look into the history more about nazi crimes. It made me sick to my stomach in some parts, made me gasp in others and cry at several. This was OUTSTANDING!

Amazing book.
This book had a little bit of a slow start, but once it kicked off, it was amazing. I could not stop listening. I was enthralled by all the stories that were inner twined. There was just the right amount of surprise and expectation. I really love Jody Picoult, and this was one of the best books she’s written, in my opinion

The book is the kind that as you note it's coming to an end you start thinking... how can I go with never hearing more about these people?! More about this story?

Kept me interested
It’s a good story. Actually, I suppose it’s a number of stories. The description didn’t really prepare me for what I was about to read. A few moments where my interest slumped, but I was happy with the book overall.
