"Vacker's narration keeps listeners on their toes throughout this twisty story of corrupt officials, sociopathic relatives, and dark family secrets. Vacker's character work captures the shifting nature of Emma's desperate need to protect her complicated family members."—AudioFile

Three sisters, two murders, and too many secrets to count.

Fourteen years ago, the Palmer sisters—Emma, Juliette, and Daphne—left their home in Arden Hills and never returned. But when Emma discovers she’s pregnant and her husband loses his job, she has no option but to return to the house that she and her estranged sisters still own . . . and where their parents were murdered.

Emma has never told anyone what she saw the night her parents died, even when she became the prime suspect. But her presence in the house threatens to uncover secrets that have stayed hidden for years, and the sisters are drawn together once again. As they face their memories of the past, rivalries restart, connections are forged, and, for the first time, Emma starts to ask questions about what really happened that night.

The more Emma learns, the more riddles emerge. And Emma begins to wonder just what her siblings will do to keep the past buried, and whether she did the right thing staying quiet about what was whispered that night: “No one can know.”

A Macmillan Audio production from Flatiron Books.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“A propulsive and intricate psychological thriller. . . Meticulously plotted. . . Marshall’s deft writing teases out revelations aplenty, perpetually ratcheting up the tension—and an element of violence—while keeping the story skimming along. Family connections prove both their damage and their worth in this community-focused thriller.”
—Kirkus (starred review)

“Propulsive mystery-cum-psychological drama. . . Marshall shrewdly interlaces past and present timelines, alternating perspectives between the three sisters to shed new light on old information. Even genre veterans will have trouble sussing out the culprit. Skillful misdirection and urgent plotting make this a winner.”
—Publishers Weekly

Loved It!

I was anticipating the release. I thought it was worth the hype. Narrator did a good job

Had me until the end

I was gripped to the book until the last few chapters. I felt like it could have ended sooner and I felt it was too complicated . Narrator was amazing per usual and I love this author but the last part of the book was just too much .

Great thriller & Narrator

Loved the twists & the way everything is tied up in the end. The narrator is amazing & quickly becoming one of my favorites!

Unpredictable

You think you know the ending, but do you? Sent me on a roller coaster

Narration was a bore

Narration could have been more separated. Characters all sounded the same, especially the men. Story was good but could have been more suspenseful and dramatic. Okay for a credit. But just okay
