Story4.5 out of 5 stars 61,636
Charlie Reade looks like a regular high school kid, great at baseball and football, a decent student. But he carries a heavy load. His mom was killed in a hit-and-run accident when he was 10, and grief drove his dad to drink. Charlie learned how to take care of himself—and his dad. Then, when Charlie is 17, he meets a dog named Radar and his aging master, Howard Bowditch, a recluse in a big house at the top of a big hill, with a locked shed in the backyard. Sometimes strange sounds emerge from it.

For years, rumors of the "Marsh Girl" have haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet town on the North Carolina coast. So in late 1969, when handsome Chase Andrews is found dead, the locals immediately suspect Kya Clark, the so-called Marsh Girl. But Kya is not what they say.

An 11-year-old boy's violated corpse is found in a town park. Eyewitnesses and fingerprints point unmistakably to one of Flint City's most popular citizens. He is Terry Maitland, Little League coach, English teacher, husband, and father of two girls. Detective Ralph Anderson, whose son Maitland once coached, orders a quick and very public arrest. Maitland has an alibi, but Anderson and the district attorney soon add DNA evidence to go with the fingerprints and witnesses. Their case seems ironclad.

When Finn, a young urban explorer, arrives on the island and glimpses this enigmatic woman through the foliage, intrigue turns to obsession as he seeks to uncover her past - and his own family's dark secrets. By unraveling these mysteries, will he be able to save Cora? Will Cora meet the same tragic ending as the thousands who've already perished on the island?

I’m in shock!
I am in shock. This may have been the best book I have EVER experienced. This writer is a genius. I was hooked from the very beginning, I had to know the mystery of Cora! I needed to hear her story. I sobbed like a baby, I rooted for certain characters and hated others! This book was incredible. At the end I was like nnnoooooooooo! I must know what happens now! But I will be first in line for the next book. And now I’m going to check out everything Shelley Nolden has written. This book was AMAZING. ♥️

Didn't like it
An 18 year old girl ends up in a plague hospital on an island near NYC. The island has some "special power" that keeps her diseases at bay and keeps her young while a family of doctors experiment on her through the generations. 105 years later she's still alive on the island with her disease. Nope not for me

Slowly the vine twists
the book starts out pretty slowly and jumping back and forth through time can get confusing at times..it took several chapters to get into this story but I'm glad I stuck with it. I'm a little disappointed/happy there will be another book. (I don't like to wait)

A surprise and hard to put down
A richly told story about a mysterious woman and an abandoned island. A real page turner. I enjoyed both the narration and the subject matter. The characters really grab you and I was inspired after reading this to research the real island behind the story. Highly recommend!

Amazing story!
This story was so timely and full of twists and turns. This is a book for this time! I can’t wait to research North Brother Island and it’s history! And I can’t wait for the sequel!
I loved the Authors’ note at the end! Shelly Nolden explained everything about her life experiences and how that impacted the story line.
My only critique of the audio book was the narrator’s tones attempting to sound like various male characters. But honestly, I don’t think anyone else could do better.

GREAT BOOK
I listened to this book when walking and driving. It was so good I found myself sitting on the porch just so I could listen some more. I finished it this morning while walking and after listening to the author talk about how she decided to research and write about North Brother Island, I hurried home to read about this place. Wow She is a great writer and the narrator was wonderful. Loved the story and the characters (good and bad) and to learn a sequel is coming is icing on the cake. I can’t wait ❤️

Great book
I was hooked from the beginning. I love the storytelling. I loved Cora. I didn’t realize this was historical fiction.

Drags and drags
This has an interesting premise, but literally nothing is explained. I struggled to finish this because of how slow it was. I understand that there is a second book coming (or already out?) but this did not live up to its great reviews for me.
Somehow a family has gotten away with experimenting on a woman sent to a plague hospital but she’s magically immune to viruses unless she leaves the island. In all the years of experimenting on her, they don’t think to look into the island itself or the vines that barely came into play. This was more of an ode to the incurably diseased or chronically ill people of the last 100 years which isn’t a bad thing but at least be forthcoming instead of marketing this as a mystery.
All in all, not for me.
