The Disappearance

By: Bentley Little

Narrated by: John Pirhalla

A haunting tale of a missing girl that could only have come from the mind of Bram Stoker Award-winning author Bentley Little.

The festival was intended as a getaway from UCLA for Gary, his girlfriend, Joan, and their friends. But soon after they arrive, Joan vanishes. Calls to her parents’ home yield only dead air. Her school records are gone. And there’s no evidence that Joan, or even her roommate, ever existed. Most disturbing of all is what they do find.

Among Joan’s belongings is a prayer written on a small scroll. It’s a safeguard — and a warning — from something called The Outsiders. For Gary and his friends, it’s the only clue. Now, if they want to find out exactly what happened to Joan, they must follow it. But they may not like what they find....

didn't like narrator

narrator's inflection was so distracting. pitch was raised at the end of every sentence making everything blend together. Bentley Little's stories are always creepy and suspenseful but there wasn't one moment of that in this performance for me. Voice characterization was good - just wish the rest of it was as well.

Too Long, Bored

This is my third (and last, unfortunately) try with this author. I like the story but just too long to get where it’s going. Seems to take forever. Characters are just not ones I deeply connect with on any level. Not sure why these just don’t make me want to keep going.

This rocks!

this was a good book, good plot good storyline, great action. the narrator did a great job. on a side note the Jews were slaves for 430 years in Egypt not 2000, just saying.

Another banger by Bentley Little

I’m working my way through all of Little’s books. I only have a few left in Audible. There are still two or three that haven’t been read yet. But I’m fine just reading those. I really enjoyed this one.

Great story but the narration was distrust

I enjoyed this book, great story. However, the narrator’s lilting voice that made statements sound like questions was very distracting.
