Grabtown

A Psychological Thriller

De: Sarah P. Blanchard

Narrado por: Meghan Kelly

Twin sisters Cassandra and Anastasia have discovered their mother's legacy: a 40-year-old cold case murder.

When Cassie and Ana return to their childhood home in rural Connecticut, among their deceased mother’s belongings they stumble across an unpublished manuscript: a murder mystery, written by their mom's girlfriend AJ —and featuring their mother as a key character.

Cassie, a writer, wants to turn the old story into a bestseller. Ana, fearful of what they will learn, wants to destroy it.

As the sisters delve into AJ's story, they uncover a disturbing trail leading to an abandoned village the locals call Grabtown.
As AJ says, “Small towns are great for scolding the kids who throw too many snowballs, but not always good at spotting real evil.”.

When Cassie's volatile husband Marsh demands they stop digging, and a retired detective arrives asking dangerous questions, the twins realize someone believes AJ's story isn't fiction—it's a confession.

What's really behind Marsh's highly successful rare-motorcar enterprise? Why does the past refuse to stay buried? And why is a major crimes detective now urging them to flee?

Set in rural New England, Grabtown is a powerful twofold story that exposes the dark underbelly of small-town secrets, where courage and unshakable loyalty become the only weapons against those who prey on the vulnerable.

If you enjoy suspense, high-stakes tales of sisterhood, and satisfying stories of justice and redemption, you'll love Grabtown. Listeners of Grabtown are also fans of Kellye Garrett's Like a Sister, Liz Moore's The God of the Woods, and The Moonflowers by Abigail Rose-Marie.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“...lingers long after the last line—beautiful, bold, and utterly unforgettable.” —Kathryn Dare, Seattle Book Review

"Masterfully constructed...a dark, satisfying thriller." —Kirkus Reviews

shocked and surprised

This was an intriguing mystery. A J jumps on the case of intrepid investigator and ferrets the clues from the red herrings. I listened raptly. Who killed Jimmy?? Gobsmacked at the answer. It kept me listening and enjoying it all. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a great job bringing the characters and story to life.

King and McFadden balled into One!!!

“Grabtown”

“Grabtown,” a psychological thriller meticulously crafted by Sarah P. Blanchard, possesses the potential to rival the works of Stephen King and Freida McFadden. Ms. Blanchard’s writing style is so intricate and unsettling that it has the power to captivate and disturb readers. This book has the ability to evoke a sense of longing and vulnerability in even the most hardened individuals.

Twins Cassie and Ana return to their childhood home to settle their mother’s affairs. They discover an unpublished manuscript written by their mother’s girlfriend, AJ. As Cassie delves into the manuscript, she uncovers secrets and a murder that occurred over 40 years ago. The story reveals how some stories have a way of circling back and involving certain people. This particular story shares similar elements.

Ms. Blanchard’s writing is truly profound and masterful. I thoroughly enjoyed the way the story concluded. I’m eager to share some details, but I’ll refrain from revealing spoilers. However, I can assure you that you’ll definitely enjoy listening to this captivating story.

The narrator, Meghan Kelly, truly outdid herself in bringing the diverse characters to life. Ms. Kelly is an exceptionally talented narrator, and every time I listen to a book narrated by her, I am continually impressed by her remarkable abilities.

Suspenseful and surprising

Wow! I was not expecting all of this! This one really drew me in with all the secrets and twists in here. This is told wonderfully as it goes between present and past very smoothly. I was equally enthralled with the twins story as I was with their mom and AJ’s. I dont want to give anything away so I will stop here. It you like a good mystery with a side of suspense then this is for you. I listened to this on audio. Meghan Kelly does a great job narrating. She is always a joy to listen to.
