FIND US

By: Benjamin Stevenson

Narrated by: Harriet Gordon-Anderson

Every object has a ghost.

There is a small yellow backpack - half unzipped, mouth yawning to the pavement, contents strewn around it (a banana, an exercise book, a pair of scissors) - abandoned on a suburban footpath.

Ten feet away, the rubber stamp of tyres, resisting clamped brakes, mount the curb and cut across the path. The tracks come to an end at a crippled stop sign.

The street, a tree-lined suburban road dappled in late-afternoon sunlight, is calm. But anyone walking past can feel the ghosts: the prickle on the back of their necks that tells them something happened here. The story of a vehicle careening to a halt. Of a child’s backpack left in a hurry.

That intuition all comes before they take a closer look, and see there is dark, dry red on the scissor’s blade. The ghosts are screaming now; the scene’s memory turns violent. And as the passers-by raise their phones to answer the question what is your emergency? They see more red. Between the tyre-tracks and the blood. There are two words, hastily scrawled on the sidewalk. Written in blood.

Wow...that was good!

Just a short story, but it packs in a few punches of surprise you won’t see coming! Its kept PG-13 and doesn’t get unnecessarily gory with details which I always appreciate. Entertaining. Exciting. A short and sweet treat!

a twisty Rollercoaster ride with a surprise enfing.

this book takes you on a ride that starts out as a simple missing children's case, but as you learn more about all the family members and related characters you start questioning every aspect of reality and what will end up happening, which is unexpected and unpredictable. by the time it's revealed you then start questioning other outcomes. a real psychological thriller!

Wow

Loved how you are moved through the thought process of the parent/victim. Then as the story unfolds, it really starts to move quickly.
I could see this as a three act play.

Good but flawed

A quick, spooky little psychological thriller. Marred only a tiny bit by the fact that the author and narrator are Australian, and in a story set in the US there are a few details that don't quite line up and a few places where the accent fails. Quite good besides those minor quibbles, fun little listen from a good author!

Great Suspensful Twist

Really good storyline with a shocking twist.
Harriet Gordon-Anderson's narration gave the characters personality
