Where They Found Her

A Novel

De: Kimberly McCreight

Narrado por: Tavia Gilbert, Lauren Fortgang, Rachel F. Hirsch, Therese Plummer

“McCreight creates a world that pulls us in completely and genuinely, with characters that can enrage, amuse, and fill us with empathy. It’s a thrilling novel.”—GILLIAN FLYNN, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Gone Girl

Motherhood hasn’t been easy for Molly Anderson, and the years since the loss of her second child have been a particular struggle. But six months after moving from New York City to sophisticated Ridgedale, New Jersey, she’s finally enjoying life again, as mother of a five-year-old daughter and fledgling arts reporter for the local paper. But this tenuous stability is threatened when the body of a newborn is found in the woods behind prestigious Ridgedale University and Molly is assigned the story. Over the objections of her increasingly concerned husband, Molly dives into reporting, determined to prove herself by uncovering the truth. What she finds is a decades-old trail of dark secrets that winds through every corner of the town.

Told from the perspectives of Molly; Barbara, wife of Ridgedale’s police chief, whose faltering son is unraveling her picture-perfect life; and a sixteen-year old high school dropout, Sandy, who is dealing with her wayward mother, Where They Found Her reveals that the tragic truth about what happened to the baby lies at the unexpected intersection of these three very different women’s lives. It is a taut and profoundly moving novel about mothers and daughters—the fierce bonds that unite them and the deceit that can drive them apart. But most of all it’s about the heartbreakingly high price of history. The past can be artfully denied, but never truly buried.

Bad narration

I can't finish this book. The narrator for Molly is too annoying. Maybe I'll finish on my kindle. This is a waste of a credit.

Kind of confusing in the beginning but get good later on

Its a good story but I got a bit confused because the story is told by multiple characters and at different times. Bus as soon as I got into the style it was enjoyable

I can't stop thinking about this book! Haunting!

What did you like best about this story?

I bought this as a daily deal and didn't pay much for it. I was sucked in pretty quickly to the lives and lies of all the people in this average town. The main character is fine enough to follow, but the best part is all the ways lives intersect. Also all the secrets make it impossible to stop listening. I actually had to hide in a hammock at the cabin and finish the last few hours.

Now that it is over, I am still haunted by it. I am still thinking of the characters and wanting more.
I will say, I might have enjoyed it because I am a female that loves the relationships the people have. My husband half listened to it and wasn't as into it as I was.His loss!

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Everyone has secrets!
