Publisher's summary

Don't rent a summer house in Hollow's Bend this year! Patterson's scariest thrills since Death of the Black Widow.

Hollows Bend, New Hampshire, is a picture-perfect New England town where weekend tourists flock to see fall leaves and eat breakfast at the Stairway Diner. The crime rate—zero—is a point of pride for Sheriff Ellie Pritchett.

The day the stranger shows up is when the trouble starts. The sheriff and her deputy investigate the mysterious teenage girl. None of the locals can place her. She can’t—or won’t—answer any questions. She won’t even tell them her name.

While the girl is in protective custody, the officers are called to multiple crime scenes leading them closer and closer to a lake outside of town that doesn’t appear on any map…

Kept me guessing

It was a good book great narration. More like King than Patterson. Horror more than a suspense

Way out there

The story is out there. Patterson did better with his bird kids than this confusing story. It just doesn’t make sense in the way it is presented. James Patterson is a better writer than this story!

Unexpected and Amazing!

This listen kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. The narrators were great and pulled me deeper into the story. I loved it and would definitely recommend it!

I didn’t like the story and the ending was weird. Too many turns and twists

A good listen

I must say that this was a really good listen for long rides. I did find it a little difficult, at times, keeping up with all the characters at first. After maybe hour 4 it got a lot easier.

strange & creepy

I'm surprised with this book.. because I kept forgetting who wrote it, I liken this more towards a Steven King style of writing and story.... but I did really enjoy it..

Predictable/Forced Ending

Imagine a netflix series that is a struggle to get through.

Only highlight is JD Barker’s character dialogue
