The Boy Under the Table

By: Nicole Trope

Narrated by: Susan Strafford

From the queen of white-knuckle suspense and searing family drama comes a harrowing glimpse into the real world behind the headlines. This is a novel of immense power and compassion - one that will move all who listen to it.

Tina is a young woman hiding from her grief on the streets of the Cross. On a cold night in the middle of winter, she breaks all her own rules when she agrees to go home with a customer. What she finds in his house will change her life forever.

Across the country Sarah and Doug are trapped in limbo, struggling to accept the loss that now governs their lives. Pete is the local policeman who feels like he is watching the slow death of his own family.

Everyday brings a fresh hell for each of them. Told from the alternating points of view of Tina, Sarah, Doug, and Pete, The Boy Under the Table is gritty, shocking, moving and, ultimately, filled with hope.

Spending all my credits on Nicole Trope

finished in 24 hours which is rare for me. I start so many books and lose interest in the first hour, but I couldn't put this one down. it's so, so good. Brutal, but triumphant. I'm spending all my credits on this author!

Excellent Read!

This story, told through various perspectives, reaches out to readers to FEEL what each character feels. Powerfully written and deeply moving, it does exactly that! I highly recommend it.

Beautifully Written

A moving story with well-developed characters. Hearing from the different perspectives made it easy to relate to each character. I loved every part of the story - from the beginning to the end.

Excellent!

I rarely write reviews, but this book was great! As a Mom it hit hard, but the writing was superior and I couldn’t wait to listen daily! Highly recommend

What an amazing author

I don’t know why it has taken me so long to find this author who is willing to address very difficult issues, to see the world through the eyes of a child, a teen, and different adults; all wrapped into complicated relationships.
Many thanks to the narrator whose ability to change voices seemlessly

I listen to 2-3 audiobooks a week and almost never give 5 star reviews

This was Such an uplifting story of hope and what one good, decent person is capable of.
I really liked the two main characters, they were beautifully developed and I was so invested in their story.
I listened to this book in one day. The narrator was excellent, the villain was rotten to the core, the main characters were flawed, but oh so lovely.
I highly recommend this book, most definitely worth the credit.

Never once boring

Great story. I thought that the narration was great. Felt that there were no slow parts.

Fantastic

This book had me hooked from start to finish. I may have shed a few tears both of sadness and joy.

LOVED

This book brought smiles to my face and tears to my eyes. Characters were so well written

Didn’t want to stop listening!

The subjects addressed in this story aren’t pleasant to think about for most, but handled very well. I’m already looking for another book by Nicole Trope!
