Publisher's summary

A dark, compelling new thriller from best-selling authors Sarah A. Denzil and Anni Taylor

Young backpackers Gemma and Hayley arrive at a remote fruit farm in Australia’s Northern Territory, out of money and desperate for work.

The weeks go on, a blur of fruit picking, parties, campfires and wading beneath waterfalls in the nearby hot springs. Until the night the girls find themselves on a dark highway, bruised and bloodied.

Senior Detective Bronwen McKay and psychologist Megan Arlotti question the terrified girls. But Hayley and Gemma are telling two very different stories of what happened to them over the past three months.

Which story is the truth, and what are the girls covering up? A suspenseful thriller that will keep you guessing until the very end.

Editor's Pick

They don’t do stranger danger like they used to...
"It sounded like a pretty sweet deal when Gemma and Hayley stumbled upon a job offering free lodging, pool access, fresh air, and fruit-picking. What more could you ask for? However, the outcome isn’t what you would expect. After being found bruised and bloody on the road, detectives can clearly tell the girls have been through a very traumatic experience. Held captive by a now dead mad man, it seems like a pretty cut and dry case for the detectives on the case. But why are Gemma and Hayley’s stories so vastly different? The combined masterminds of writers Sarah A. Denzil and Anni Taylor and the stunning narration by Aimee Horne take you down a very twisted road of truth and lies because the more you know, the more you questions you have, and the darker the answers are."
Nicole R., Audible Editor

Slow story

This book has a good story but it is incredibly slow. It was very easy for me to lose interest and stop reading. The ending and epilogue was a little confusing also.

Loved the narrator's accents

Very disturbing and violent content but I had to find out what happened to the girls. The ending was disturbing because of the tragedies unfolding. This was an example of how a charismatic leader can control and ultimately destroy the lives of gullible people. Young people especially can be taken in by someone like Tate and his assistants. I liked the two detectives trying to solve the mystery but the girls themselves were not very appealing.

Great until end

Killing off heroine ruined it for me. Could have killed off Joe. You managed to save everyone who had the soup but ace heroine. Weird ending.

Full of Twists and Turns

This is a very good captivating book full of twists and turns. It held my attention and was very hard to turn off. What I thought at the beginning was not what happened at the end. The narrator did a fantastic job. I highly recommend this book.

really good

for some reason I was not sure I would like this book, but I thought it was really really good. a good crime mystery and eerily believable. a tangle that takes a long time to unravel without any of the characters being unbelievably stupid.

So Glad I Took A Chance!

I got this as one of the daily deals. Wow, am I pleasantly surprised. First off - the narrator was AMAZING... the best I've ever listened to. The way that she seamlessly switched accents with the characters was so great, and it added so much to the story. I don't want to put in any spoilers, so I won't go into details about the story. But I will say that I thoroughly enjoyed the entire book; and it was a different sort of story than anything I've read before. I recommend taking a chance on this one.
