Publisher's summary

In July 1970, actress Elaina Styles was slain in her rented Seattle mansion along with her husband and their son's nanny. When the baby's remains were found buried in a shallow grave close to a hippie commune, police moved in - only to find all its members already dead in a grisly mass suicide. Now, decades later, a film about the murders is shooting at the mansion. On-set caterer Laurie Trotter ignores gossip that the production is cursed. But then people start dying.... As Laurie digs deeper into what happened all those years ago, she discovers that the truth is more twisted than any whispered rumor, as a legacy of brutal vengeance reaches its terrifying climax.

Hard to follow

I have really been liking other books by this author, but for some reason I had a hard time keeping the story and characters straight in this particular book. It seemed a little bit convoluted. I still enjoyed it but was not able to get into the story as much.

sheesh! I wouldn't have guessed

amazing. just amazing. thank you. what a great book. couldn't stop listening. next. 😁 😁 😁

HOLY PLOT TWIST!

Kevin O'Brien has a unique and interesting way of psychologically terrorizing listeners and his characters. His writing may be too long for some, but to get the plot and backstory into play, it is necessary. He is my new favorite author! I've listened to this book in one day - it was that good!

Another great story!

I started listening to these just because I live in Kittitas Co WA!! It's so fun to hear the names of so many places we're familiar with. Could you throw my little hometown of Thorp in one maybe? I'll be listening for sure. Love the twists and turns.

Sepentine, satisfying suspence with a heart

Another excellent, twisty, highly listenable effort from Kevin O'Brien. The fact that it was it's included in the plus catalog was a nice bonus.

This is O'Brien's best yet!

What about Jonathan Yen’s performance did you like?

Jonathan Yen gave an excellent performance. His tones, inflections, cadence and gravity hit the mark every step of the way.

Any additional comments?

This was Kevin O'Brien's best book to date. The book has two thriller plots going on simultaneously, each could have been a book in itself but together - WOW! When I first read the short description of this book I thought it sounded kind of contrived and wasn't sure this was going to work. Why in the world would a young woman working for a caterer play junior detective? This is a young single mother who moved to a new town, new job, people getting brutally murdered all around her - HELLO? Why would she stay? On top of that there is a looney who wants to pulverize her and take her young son in her home town looking for her. Next thing you know her face is on TV and still she stays. I kept thinking it can't work but to my surprise it did. Sorry I can't tell how or it would ruin the story so all I can say is GET THE BOOK! You won't regret it. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. If you found this review helpful please indicate so. Thank You.

The only way I could do that was if you wanted me too I y

Bvvvbbbjn jki is a very cute little boy who loves his mom and his mom so very so very so very so happy for her she deserves it all and so proud

I loved it, but it was too long winded

certain areas bored me because of overkill on efforts to get inside the characters heads.

Amazing

Another nail biter! Great story with all the twists and turns I have come to expect. Love this author

Loved the whole thing. Kevin O'Brien is a very talented author I have not listened to one story yet that did not impress
