About this listen
Ten-year-old best friends Nathan and Adam really liked Joe. He was their friend, an artist, the man they spoke to through the wire fence of the lunatic asylum.
But something happened behind those walls, in those rooms, on the grounds, at the river. Joe sketched it all - fine lines, truth in the negative space, truth in the pencil strokes. And then, he was gone.
Twenty years later, Nathan and Adam receive a letter. But can they find what's hiding between the lines?

Story5 out of 5 stars 1
It is an ordinary September morning when I nearly lose my little girl. My mouth is dry, my hands shake when I see that she has darted unexpectedly into the playground.... The place where my own childhood ended. Where I can’t set foot inside. As she wobbles on top of the climbing frame about to fall, a silent scream freezes in my throat. So when a stranger hears her cries and rushes to help, I feel weak with relief. I thank him as my daughter presses her tear-stained face into my skirt. Looking into his warm brown eyes and gentle smile, I feel an instant connection.

In 2017, a town in rural Kentucky was found buried in a landslide. All of the corpses had pounds of soil in their stomachs—as if they tried to eat their way out of the ground. The police investigation uncovered a diary among the bodies that suggests the town’s destruction was an orchestrated massacre. Unfortunately, every person who reads the diary goes insane.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 10
Sunny afternoons are the worst for a recovering alcoholic. But I’m doing OK and I’m proud of myself. I stretch out on my sun lounger with my book, basking in the peace before I have to collect my son from school. Then the gate rattles. It’s the police and judging by their expressions, they’re not here with good news. As I face the two officers, I try to dismiss what they’re telling me. My husband, Rob, can’t possibly be dead—I only saw him this morning. Besides, he’s the safest cyclist I know and would never put himself at risk.

Long blonde hair. Sparkling dark eyes. Perfect pearly white teeth. I’ve never met her before, but I know exactly who she is as I spot her through the crowds of the terminal. Because our new guest is the spitting image of the daughter we lost. And that’s exactly why I chose her.

Twenty years ago, my best friend, Bailey, was found dead by the train tracks, half of our friendship locket missing from her pale neck. She never took that off. Officially, it was ruled a tragic accident–but I knew better. She’d been crowned prom queen only hours earlier, and someone’s jealousy had finally gotten to them.

Predictable, bland
Worst narrator I have ever heard. Pacing off, pronunciation issues, stilted, almost monotone, expressionless. Perhaps rating would have been higher with better narrator. I am off this author now, and definitely will not recommend this book

Needs polishing
Dialogue feels forced and unnatural, especially between the kids. Not a lot of depth but the attempt was there. Book was set in Australia yet narrated with a very flat Midwest (?) American accent, just a bit off putting. I just never got fully engaged.
