Publisher's summary

It was 1993 when Andy last saw his sister, Willow. One minute he was holding her hand, and the next, she was gone.

Thirty years later, Andy has a family of his own, but he’s never forgotten his little sister. How could he? Her disappearance destroyed his family and ended his childhood, and with all the leads dried up and no new clues, he’s had to accept that she’s gone forever. That’s until he’s contacted by a woman who claims to have a message for him from Willow. Sceptical, but unable to resist trying anything, Andy meets up with her.

Cleo knows things that were never made public at the time, and Andy starts to think that she really is in contact with Willow. When one of his childhood adversaries is found murdered, Andy turns to the police officer in charge of the investigation at the time for help.

DCI Unwin Phelps had reluctantly retired, with Willow being his only cold, unsolved case. Offered the opportunity to finally find out what happened to her, he agrees to get involved. Working with Cleo and Andy, they don’t realize the danger they're in.

Is Willow back and seeking revenge? If so, is she dead or alive, and why are those involved in the case being picked off one by one? Andy will have to dig deep into a dark past he’d rather forget for the answers, is he ready to face the truth?

Narrator does a Excellent job with the various characters voices and the entire storyline. The only downside in this Audible book is when background music or noises are used, I could not understand the words spoken at same time.

Great for the paranormal reader.

I delve into "Willow Weeps," another intriguing creation by Molly Garcia, earning my commendation with a solid 4-star rating. The narrative unfolds as a gripping paranormal thriller, where a brother's quest to unravel his sister's decades-old disappearance takes an otherworldly turn. Guided by a psychic, the story evolves into a spectral collaboration to solve the mysterious murder. Grant's compelling narration, enhanced by chilling sounds and music, adds an eerie dimension to the tale. While the plot held me captivated, my discerning nature caused me to guess who murdered the sister due to early hints that subtly unveiled certain aspects. Nevertheless, Garcia's craftsmanship and Grant's skillful narration make "Willow Weeps" a commendable read.

good listen

In interesting story. I found it a bit disturbing due to the great job the narrator did. Recommended to those who like suspense and drama.

A good story

A good story, fast paced and plenty of red herrings.
A good read for any lovers of crime fiction.
Well narrated and clearly read.

Beautiful blend of psychic and detective work

Great combination of detective work and “the beyond”! I enjoyed how a psychic was able to aid in the investigations in a way that didn’t immediately blow open the case, but found small hints that allowed the team to find the people responsible for covering up the murder in a very organic way. Grant Love is a gem, and brings this story to life❤️

Quite the story

While the narrator did a great job, I found some of the sound effects to be a bit obnoxious. However, that aside, it was a good mystery book.

Willow Weeps

Interesting story. Really liked the way the investigators seemed thorough at interviewing the suspects. Liked some of the sound effects and music but it was almost too loud at some points. Enjoyed the story a lot. Really kept my interest

great who done it

enjoyed the story. sad for someone to wait 30 years to get peace. marked down a stR because of horrible attempt at back ground sounds that are to load and don't sound right in the story

Great story and great Narrator

Enjoyable read and finished in a couple days.
Narrator was fantastic and story well written.
Only downside was the background music which made a few parts hard to hear (but not so much to be a deterrent to listen to).

Justice Served Cold

Willow Weeps is a heartbreaking story about the disappearance of 5 year old Willow. Willow was put with her bring brother Andy on a fun day at the fear when the unimaginable happens and she goes missing. Andy has never forgotten that day because he blames himself for not watching her more closely. Darker forces were at work who systematically planned the abduction with no remorse.
I found the story to be so well written that it had me in tears because this happens to children all the time. The characters are believable and realistic, especially because the narrator voice shows the right amount of emotion. The narrator did a phenomenal job with giving the story life and making you feel it deep down in your soul. I highly recommend this book. Just know that there are parts that will bring you heartache. There are also parts that will have you cheering for justice being served.
I received this book for free upon my request. I am voluntarily leaving my honest, unbiased review of my opinion.
