About this listen
When the body of a local woman is discovered by the lake, the small town of Aldercreek is thrown into chaos. This tight-knit community of successful families and well-kept secrets is suddenly confronted with a dark mystery. Just as the dust begins to settle, a newcomer arrives: Eden, an outsider with quiet intensity and a hidden agenda. She knows more than she lets on, and as she digs into the town’s history, old wounds and dark secrets begin to resurface.
Beneath Aldercreek’s polished surface, Eden stirs suspicions, revealing a web of manipulation and mind games among its seemingly perfect residents. Long-buried family secrets and rivalries come to light, threatening to unravel the lives of those involved. Tension mounts as Eden’s search uncovers connections to the dead woman that no one wants exposed. Suspicion shifts from one familiar face to another, while Eden’s own motives remain a mystery, adding layers to an already suspenseful puzzle.
In this gripping, edge-of-your-seat thriller, nothing—and no one—is as they seem. As Eden’s investigation digs deeper, the stakes grow higher, forcing the residents to confront the twisted truth hiding in plain sight. This thriller is filled with dark secrets, mystery, and suspense, promising to keep readers hooked until the final reveal.

Story5 out of 5 stars 2
Eliza has everything I’ve ever wanted. Three perfect children. A doting husband. A dream home. But I know a secret that could destroy it all. When Eliza Watts hires me as her assistant, I can’t believe my luck. I steady my nerves as she glances approvingly at my glittering CV. I need this job more than anything. But she must never know why. It’s funny she doesn’t recognize me, because we’ve met before. And ever since we crossed paths, I’ve wanted nothing but to be close to her and her flawless family.

Amy has terrible taste in men. She's dated guys who cheated on her, beat her, and threatened to kill her, but none of them come close to Mark. At first, Mark is the ideal boyfriend—kind, smart, attractive, and funny. But as their relationship deepens, the charming facade crumbles showing his true colors. He calls her all the time. He gets angry if she doesn't respond to his messages within minutes. He gets irrationally jealous and possessive. By the time Amy decides to leave Mark, it's already too late. He knows too much about her, and he'll stop at nothing to keep her to himself.

But when Liz is mistaken for Isabelle herself, Liz can’t help slipping into the socialite’s identity.

It seemed like a dream come true when we first moved in. A chance to leave my stressful job behind and fix things with James. But something gnaws at me each morning as I wave my husband off to work from our gated community, accept a coffee from Lin, our housekeeper, and watch my kids play in these eerily perfect, car-free streets. When a neighbor’s body is found floating in a pool during a party, the other wives say it was a tragic accident. But there are also whispers about the family who lived in our villa before us—just vanished one day, they say.

I loved the anonymity, flexibility and solitude that working the night shift at Storage Queen gave me. The unsociable hours paid well, helping me fund my university degree and giving me a quiet place to study while the world slept peacefully in their warm, cozy beds. It was the perfect job for me. But that Friday night proved to be more than I bargained for when a man walked through the door, dragging a large suitcase. My immediate instincts told me something was wrong. That’s when my ordeal began. I just had to make it through the night shift.

I was seventeen, and she warned me that women would flock to my suddenly single father like stray cats to an overturned milk truck. They did. And one absolutely evil woman practically destroyed his life, mine, and my sister’s. I am not letting that happen to my family. I have three months, and I plan to spend every waking minute searching for the perfect woman to take my place as Alex’s wife.

The first lie got him in trouble. Our romantic date night was meant to fix us. But when my husband grabs my hand and says he needs to tell me something, I can tell from the look in his eyes that our marriage is in deep trouble. The second lie ruined our marriage. We’ve been here before. I wonder who she is. Is she younger than me? For a moment I wonder if I’ll forgive him. But I always do. It’s the only way to keep our family together.

Should I believe the woman who ruined my life, or protect the husband who’s already betrayed me? I walk past rows of immaculate white roses into the Kane family’s picture-perfect home, thinking that I’d never guess what’s happened behind closed doors. The woman standing with my colleagues in handcuffs looks so innocent in her blue, silk dress. But they say she’s killed her husband. When I see her face, I recognise her immediately. She’s my own husband Bradley’s mistress… She was found beside the body with blood on her hands.

They say it’s always beautiful in Bethlam, Nevada. No place you’d rather live. The people are friendly, if a little nosy, and there’s no crime to speak of. Life is pretty perfect. But postal worker Hank Davies has started to suspect something is off in this idyllic little town. And he’s certain of that when he realizes the letters he’s been delivering are just blank pages. Hank isn’t the only one who’s noticed the oddities in Bethlam. One such person knocks on his window in the middle of the night, urging him to investigate his bedroom wall.

The annual fall party on Silent Ridge Road is supposed to be a celebration of community—an entire day of drinking cider, sharing laughs, and forgetting any tension that's been simmering beneath the surface all year. But beneath the festive décor, polite smiles, and pumpkin-spiced charm of this small-town block lies a tangled web of deceit, obsession, and death. The neighbors are hiding dangerous secrets.

Great Story Telling
This gripping audiobook kept me hooked & I was invested in the story. The story is well-paced, mixed with suspense, drama, and twists in a way that keeps you eager to see what happens next. The characters are well developed, and the narration enhances the overall experience. Simply put, it was great storytelling.
Eden is determined to seek revenge on those that wronged her family several years before! Their actions have molded and shaped her life and although it was not all bad, her childhood was deeply affected. When she moves to a new city, she begins to uncover secrets as she figures out who actually committed the heinous act.
If you’re a fan of suspenseful and intriguing narratives, this audiobook is definitely worth a listen!.

good back bad narration
The book overall was well written, easy to follow, and believable. The narration was horrible, I almost returned it because it was so bad. If you get past that it is worth a credit.

Great twist
Aldercreek seems like a quaint town on the surface. When a young woman is found dead in a lake "Eden" decides it's time to find out what happened to her sister years ago. She moves to town and applies for an assistant position. No one knows who she really is and the story is so twisty and good. Winter K. Willis has become one of my favorite psychological thriller authors. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
