About this listen

 The New York Times bestselling author of Promise Not to Tell returns with a simmering literary thriller about ghostly secrets, dark choices, and the unbreakable bond between mothers and daughters . . . sometimes too unbreakable.

West Hall, Vermont, has always been a town of strange disappearances and old legends. The most mysterious is that of Sara Harrison Shea, who, in 1908, was found dead in the field behind her house just months after the tragic death of her daughter, Gertie. Now, in present day, nineteen-year-old Ruthie lives in Sara's farmhouse with her mother, Alice, and her younger sister, Fawn. Alice has always insisted that they live off the grid, a decision that suddenly proves perilous when Ruthie wakes up one morning to find that Alice has vanished without a trace. Searching for clues, she is startled to find a copy of Sara Harrison Shea's diary hidden beneath the floorboards of her mother's bedroom. As Ruthie gets sucked deeper into the mystery of Sara's fate, she discovers that she's not the only person who's desperately looking for someone that they've lost. But she may be the only one who can stop history from repeating itself.

I absolutely loved this book! Great storytelling unfolding. Reminiscent of old fairy tales and folklore. I could imagine being in the woods and the old farm. It was really creepy too. Unnerving. Will read more from this author.

Very atmospheric and creepy. I had to turn the light on listening in bed

Downloaded after a recommendation that this was a horror and would have you gripped.
Sadly, it wasn’t for me. I keep listening in case & in the hope it got better. There were moments I thought yes, finally, this is good and then we’d begin a new chapter and start all over again. 🙄

Wasn’t for me
