Publisher's summary

From New York Times best-selling author Jeffery Deaver comes a tale of a bucolic getaway and an unsettling spirit.

Amanda and Charlie are spending their first weekend away in months. They’ve rented a luxurious vacation house on Lost Valley Lake. Swimming, bicycling, and romance are the order of the day, and all is good. That is, until someone - or something - appears on the shore across the lake, just as the sky turns gray and the water chill and choppy. 

When the apparition, or whatever it might be, grows closer and closer, it soon becomes clear that there are certain types of evil that you can’t protect yourself from with locked doors and windows. 

And perhaps you can’t protect yourself from them at all.

Guardian Angel

Her childhood friend was her guardian angel. Good build up in a story with a suspenseful twist.

Good short story

I didn't like the long pauses between chapters but short story was a great time filler.

Very good short thriller!

Stay Tuned is the second Audible original by Jeffery Deaver that I’ve leis tend to and I’m quickly becoming addicted to these stories, hopefully there are more or will be more coming. While Stay Tuned is a short story, it doesn’t suffer from length, its jam packed with a very good story line and thriller level action. I guess I need to try one of his full-length books. Zoe Chao’s top-notch narration made this story come to life.

Excellent narrator, but predictable story

Excellent narrator, but predictable story. I just didn't care about the characters and thought the ending was abrupt and unsurprising.

Not at all bad for a freebie.

This is a short story where the characters are Fairly will developed And the story Is as well..Not the best thing I've ever listened to but if you just have a short amount of time and want to complete a book I would recommend this.
