About this listen

It’s murder in paradise as a woman uncovers a host of secrets off the rocky California coast in a gripping novel of suspense by New York Times bestselling author Rachel Howzell Hall.

Colette “Coco” Weber has relocated to her Catalina Island home, where, twenty years before, she was the sole survivor of a deadly home invasion. All Coco wants is to see her aunt Gwen, get as far away from her ex as possible, and get back to her craft—writing obituaries. Thankfully, her college best friend, Maddy, owns the local paper and has a job sure to keep Coco busy, considering the number of elderly folks who are dying on the island.

But as Coco learns more about these deaths, she quickly realizes that the circumstances surrounding them are remarkably similar…and not natural. Then Coco receives a sinister threat in the mail: her own obituary.

As Coco begins to draw connections between a serial killer’s crimes and her own family tragedy, she fears that the secrets on Catalina Island might be too deep to survive. Because whoever is watching her is hell-bent on finally putting her past to rest.

Critic reviews

“The range exhibited in narrator Kristen Ariza's performance of this thriller is unparalleled. She shines at voicing Coco Weber's conflicting emotions as she escapes L.A. and returns home to remote Catalina Island.… Ariza allows something as simple as a cell phone ringing to amplify the suspenseful ambiance of this audiobook. When Coco receives threats to her own life, Ariza embodies her determination to get to the bottom of all the deaths—past and present.” —AudioFile Magazine

“Original, compelling, memorable, What Never Happened by novelist Rachel Howzell Hall will have a very special interest for fans of crime fiction in general, and deftly crafted murder mysteries in particular.” —Midwest Book Review

“Howzell Hall specializes in complex, realistic characters…What Never Happened gives a unique look at the domestic thriller.” —Florida Sun Sentinel

I found it interesting at first but it went on too long and became boring and predictable for my liking

AN ENIGMA

Honestly, this book is too long. It several goes over months to get through as I kept losing interest. The end was v good and wasn’t too strung out as much of the book was. She writes great characters and really gets inside their heads and motivations.
