ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: BookPage

Jonah Sheens is enjoying a moment of peace in a pub garden on his day off when a teenage girl wanders out of the woods. She’s striking, with flame-red hair and a pale complexion. She’s also covered in blood.

When Jonah races to help, the girl insists she’s fine. Then she smiles. It’s her sister he needs to worry about. Keely and her sister, Nina, disappeared from a children’s home a week ago. Now Keely is here—but Nina’s still missing. Jonah is sure Keely knows where her sister is—but before she tells him anything, she insists, he has to listen to her story from the beginning.

Is she witness, victim, or killer? And if Jonah follows the trail of clues in her story, will they lead him to the missing girl—or distract him until it’s too late?

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Unnerving”—Sarah Weinman, New York Times Book Review

“Lodge raises the bar for twists and turns to lofty nosebleed heights and saves a deliciously diabolical surprise for the very end.”—BookPage (starred review)

“Riveting . . . This clever mystery will keep readers guessing to the very end.”—Publishers Weekly

Engrossing story

I was hooked from the first page. The details unfolded at just the right pace, especially in the beginning. The suspense kept building as the direction of the investigation changed. The detectives’ personal challenges did not add to the story in my opinion and were not necessary. All in all it was a really good story to listen to.

loved it

Can't wait for the next one. Had me hooked from the first words. excellent book.

Couldn't Stop Listening

A tale that needed to be told. Twists are so satisfying. Narrators are exceptional at portraying all genders. John Hopkins especially is impressive with intricate character work.

Good story

This is the first time for me, listening to this author and narrator. I would listen to both again. Enjoy the story and the narration.

Can’t get enough of this detective squad!

The writing and voice performances continue to be top notch. I wanted more about Juliet’s personal life (after everything in the last book, it felt like her story was put on pause and we were left hanging) and less about Jonah’s. I empathized with him forgetting about his partner and daughter, I also kept forgetting they existed. Their relationship felt forced, which can be okay if it serves character development, and dead boring, which isn’t okay.

Such an outstanding series!

I anxiously await each new release in this, one of my most favorite, detective series. I am an avid, voracious and constant reader/listener and I have to say that I consider Gytha Lodge to be one of the very best writers of the genre. The stories are compelling, exciting, and so intelligently written while still managing to have just the right amount of personal, private details included of the characters involved. I think the reader is excellent as well, playing it straight and serious throughout without trying to steal the show from the excellent story unfolding.

Started a little slow but……

What a great story and brilliant writing. I found another book by this author, hope it’s as good!!

Too slow

Was just too slow for me. Had high hopes from TikTok but overall it just didn’t grip me

Confused

I had a very hard time listening to this book! I tried a couple of times ! It dragged on and I unfortunately could not get into the book! I'm sorry !
