Publisher's summary

Everyone in the quiet Jersey Shore town of Silver Bay knows the story: on a Sunday evening in September 1991, Ramsey Miller threw a blowout block party, then murdered his beautiful wife and three-year-old daughter. But everyone is wrong. The daughter got away. Now she is nearly eighteen and tired of living in secrecy. Under the name Melanie Denison, she has spent the last fifteen years in small-town West Virginia as part of the Witness Protection Program. She has never been allowed to travel, go to a school dance, or even have internet at home. Precautions must be taken at every turn, because Ramsey Miller was never caught and might still be looking for his daughter. Yet despite strict house rules, Melanie has entered into a relationship with a young teacher at the local high school and is now ten weeks pregnant. She doesn't want her child to live in hiding as she has had to. Defying her guardians and taking matters into her own hands, Melanie returns to Silver Bay in hopes of doing what the authorities have failed to do: find her father before he finds her. Weaving in Ramsey's story in the three days leading up to the brutal crime, Before He Finds Her is a stirring novel about love and faith and fear—and how the most important things can become terribly distorted when we cling to them too fiercely.

Great storyline

I loved the book. The suspense was awesome and left me guessing till the end. As usual the narrator is awesome

Not a bad listen. Great narration.

A little slow moving for me at times but a good story line and Julia Whalen is an amazing narrator!

Let down

I really thought this book was going to be great but it left me feeling unsatisfied and sad. The ending had a twist but not a good one, don't get me wrong I love sick and twisted but this book is neither, it's just depressing. With that being said I'm not sure if I'm depressed over the storyline or that I wasted a credit. The narration was great! But if you're reading this review wondering if you should use a credit on this book, I vote no.

Didn't see it coming!

Although the narrator's male impersonations got on my nerves because they were all alike, and it started off slow and a little confusing, the ending was a good twist I didn't see coming!
An entertaining story that kept my attention fairly well.

worth buying

a little slow but a good read and not predictable. I definitely recommend this book.

Good book but didn't like narrator

I really liked the book, it's a very engaging story with enough plot twists, but I think not too much to be beyond believable. However, I really disliked how the narrator made every single man sound exactly the same. It started to annoy me after a while.

Great Story

Great murder mystery with unpredictable twists, likeable charcters and a great ending. You won't be disappointed.

I loved everything about this book!

Unexpected twists and turns and I loved it! The narration was great and the story came alive! I was so into this story I stayed up we'll past what I should have. Great story line and flowed nicely throughout its evolution!
