The Girl from Widow Hills

De: Megan Miranda

Narrado por: Rebekkah Ross

As a child she made headlines. As an adult no one knows her real name. But some nightmares linger even after you open your eyes…Don’t miss this “hauntingly atmospheric and gorgeously written page-turner” (Kimberly McCreight, New York Times bestselling author of A Good Marriage) from Reese Witherspoon Book Club selected and New York Times bestselling author Megan Miranda.

Everyone knows the story of “the girl from Widow Hills.”

Arden Maynor was just a child when she was swept away while sleepwalking during a terrifying rainstorm and went missing for days. Strangers and friends, neighbors and rescue workers, set up search parties and help vigils, praying for her safe return. Against all odds, she was found, alive, clinging to a storm drain. The girl from Widow Hills was a living miracle. Arden’s mother wrote a book. Fame followed. Fans and fan letters, creeps, and stalkers. And every year, the anniversary. It all became too much. As soon as she was old enough, Arden changed her name and disappeared from the public eye.

Now a young woman living hundreds of miles away, Arden goes by Olivia. She’s managed to stay off the radar for the last few years. But with the twentieth anniversary of her rescue approaching, the media will inevitably renew its interest in Arden. Where is she now? Soon Olivia feels like she’s being watched and begins sleepwalking again, like she did long ago, even waking up outside her home. Until late one night, she jolts awake in her yard. At her feet is the corpse of a man she knows—from her previous life, as Arden Maynor.

The girl from Widow Hills is once again at the center of this story in this “compulsive page-turner” (Booklist).

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Narrator Rebekkah Ross handles Megan Miranda's latest mystery with maximum intensity. Swept away while sleepwalking during a storm, 6-year-old Arden goes missing for three days. Upon her return, she becomes a reluctant celebrity, receiving letters from well-wishers and a flurry of attention from the media, along with an assortment of gawkers, stalkers, and creeps. Eventually, she grows up and moves; changes her name, becoming Olivia; and tries to disappear into a new life. Ross's tones of tenuousness and uncertainty are just right for Liv, who can't remember details of her three days of trauma. As the twentieth anniversary of her disappearance looms, Liv's stress level soars. She begins sleepwalking again. One night she stumbles across a body in her backyard. Ross ratchets up the tension, adding urgency and immediacy as the drama increases. Surprises and secrets abound."

Great book!

Kept me wondering the whole time about the characters and who might have done it! This is my first read by this author and it’s not my last!

Rebekkah Ross

I loved the the way she read the book and the story was awesome.

Love this author AND narrator!!!

Megan Miranda does it every time… unexpected twists and turns! I enjoyed all of the characters and their connections and every single chapter!!!

Great suspense

Great suspense. Twists and turns aplenty. I have to write more words to submit this. I won’t write any more reviews for audible!

twists you wont expect

good book overall, especially loved the ending. this writer brings it out time and time again.

Good story and narration

This story kept me intrigued the entire time and the narration was easy to listen to.

Great ending - overall good, solid B if I’m being harsh

This author has talent, love all her books, this one could have had a lot of it cut out. So much redundant info. Still a good read. Audio was good. For sure recommend. The ending brought it up from a C to a B. The last hour or so was great!

It kept me guessing

Narration wasn't great, but good enough to keep me interested and guesting until the end.

Should have been written as a horror novel.

I enjoyed this book, I loved the premise. I feel like there was more potential to this than was delivered
The ending was a little rushed and not quite as cohesive or exciting as it could have been. Honestly , I think it would have been better written as a horror and had gone a different direction. It took a little while to get used to the narrator, but I liked her and felt she read the characters very well.

The voice was distracting

The narrator sounded like Siri or Alexa reading and it really took me out of the story. Also some of the elements really challenge my suspension of disbelief
