About this listen

A Gripping Psychological Thriller with a Killer Twist

She survived the massacre. Now the real trouble begins.

One minute, Erin Callahan is a hero—the teacher's aide who miraculously survived the Cedar Ridge Elementary massacre. The next, she's a pariah. The police are digging into her past. The media is turning her into a villain. The town has turned against her.

But only Erin knows why she's truly afraid.

Someone left a bouquet on her doorstep.

Tucked inside: a plain white card with five words, neatly printed:

I killed them for you.

Caught between a police force that sees her as a suspect and a killer who sees her as his prize, Erin must plunge into the dark past she fought to escape. Because the real monster is still out there...

I have read Russ's non-fiction books and been a fan of his incisive wit which he has levied against politicians, so wasn't sure what to expect with this novel. I wasn't disappointed. We see a very different side of Russ's writing here, in which he has deployed his skills in a completely different arena: that of a thriller set in the US. I really enjoyed it, and liked the numerous plot twists and turns. I'm looking forward to future novels (as well as non-fiction) from this fine author.

Great thriller with lots of twists

Good twist. The main character is in a predicament.and you are invested to get her out. felt like there wasn't enough retribution at the end for the instigator given so many children died. cant have everything!

I liked the pace

Good story and pace

I wasn't a fan of this book. I found both the characters and the plot unconvincing, and the main character frankly not very likeable.
