Summary
One moment my beautiful daughter, her face flushed from the sun, her curls still wet from splashing in the ocean, was waiting in line for a strawberry ice cream, the next she was gone…



As I sit in her dimly lit bedroom, surrounded by flickering candles, I feel the crushing weight of my daughter’s absence. It's been two years since Layla was murdered. The police have searched tirelessly for her killer, but they've found nothing – it's like whoever did it vanished into thin air.



My once-perfect marriage is falling apart, we can hardly look at each other anymore. Our ten-year-old son Gale is struggling. He’s changed since she died. He’s more secretive and also… I can’t quite put my finger on it. They were so close, is this Gale coming to terms with her death? Still, unease creeps over me as I watch him. He just stares past me at something I can’t see.



Then one day, as I butter his toast for breakfast, my son tells me something that stops me in my tracks. 'I know who killed Layla.”



I can barely get the words out to ask how. Looking at me with his serious little boy expression, he puts a hand on my arm. “She told me.”



The only book you need to read this year. From the #1 bestselling author, this is a gripping, emotional, heartbreaking novel full of twists and turns, and an ending you’ll never see coming…

Edge of your seat suspense. A story that is hard to put down because you just can’t wait to see what happens next!!!

Profile Avatar Razorette Aug 2023

Good read. I couldn’t put it down. Narrator did a good job with story and characters. It made you love to hate the villain!!!

Profile Avatar Ann P. Aug 2023

Enjoyable! Kept you reading. I can recommend it.

Profile Avatar Patricia A. Mar 2024

I am shocked at how many good reviews this book has. I could not wait for it to be over. Killer is revealed early on the book and then everything that follows was plain boring. Whoever says there’s twists and turns, please reach out to me and explain them.

Profile Avatar Christine P. Aug 2023

This was a really good book. It kept my attention. I liked the book and the narration.

Profile Avatar Ashley K. Apr 2024

Great book! Highly recommended

Profile Avatar Emily B. Nov 2023

Good mystery

Profile Avatar Bronhud Oct 2023

This book was very interesting and captivating. However, I did not enjoy certain aspects of the book and thought that the author could have written some parts of it in a less disturbing way. Difficult for a parent to read/listen to.

Profile Avatar Carine Apr 2026

Where to start!! Loved the story so much even though it was a sad one. Really kept me guessing.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Apr 2026

This was a wonderful book that I couldn’t wait for another day to listen to and the end had me in absolute tears and I was sad that it was over. My next book is from the same author and will be binge reading them all. Please don’t stop writing because this book was truly a lovely read.

I thought was very good, I shed a little tear at the end. I listen to it on the way to work, but I wanted to finish it quickly because I wanted to know what was going to happen. a good listen!

Profile Avatar Rinamari R Jun 2025

Beautiful story I loved it

Profile Avatar Ronni D. Jun 2025

I read at least 3 books a month and I must say this book was the best I've read in years! I went through a whole range of emotions and being a mother, some made me anxious but it was so worth it. And the narrator was perfect! I highly recommend this read!

Good book and good narrator!

Profile Avatar Pilar Oct 2024

I loved this book. I could not stop listening to it.

Profile Avatar Ian A Oct 2024

A wonderfully woven story around two children, one live, one date.

Profile Avatar Jake S. Oct 2024

The kind of story you want to jump into to try and help the protagonist. The suspense was palpable

Profile Avatar Alice J. Jun 2024

Makes you think about life after death.

Best book lve listened to since I started listening to audiobooks 3 years ago!

Profile Avatar Sharon H. May 2024

I got this book for free as a monthly perk and it was amazing!! I had no expectations that it would be anything special but I highly recommend. The narrator was perfect as well!

Profile Avatar Jamie May 2024

Enjoyed this book. Subject matter little disturbing, but I’ve read worse. Kept me intrigued. I liked the ending, though I see some reviewers didn’t.

Profile Avatar Toni S. May 2024

Loved this book, I can't believe it was over 11 hours it just went by so quick,kept me interested from start to finish, loved it

Profile Avatar Andrea C May 2024

An enjoyable read

Profile Avatar Mendel G. May 2024

Charming at times. Chilling at times. The story is nicely told and engaging. Kudos to the author and the narrator.

Profile Avatar CuteAsDuck May 2024

This book was very entertaining throughout! It feels like the mood and plot shifts dramatically though reality and the supernatural in a very fluid way. Only read this book if you’re fine with VERY unsettling topics though it gets very creepy and unsettling.

Profile Avatar Ruthy A. May 2024

Exceptional writing with an unexpected shift in the story. Katie Villa’s narration pulls you in and grabs hold until the very last word.

Profile Avatar Zhaveh-Lee Madsen May 2024

Great book. I highly recommend this story. Looking forward to listening to more from this author.

Profile Avatar Anonymous May 2024

Average story that lacks emotional depth and seemed unsophisticated due to majority being from an 11 year olds perspective. Narration is good.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Apr 2024

Absolutely a must read/listen . My favorite in a long time

Profile Avatar Colin B. Apr 2024

This was an excellent book, I wasn’t sure this was going to be my sort of book but I was so wrong . It’s unusual but the story was gripping, hard listening to at times because of the subject matter . You’re just willing for the truth to come out, the ending is excellent and to say more would spoil things. I got this book through the VIP perks and I will certainly be looking for more books from this author. Both book and narrator very good .

Profile Avatar Natasha Apr 2024

I loved this book. The narrator wasn't good as well. I thought it would be strange, with the main character being the boy and his dead sister's ghost, but I really enjoyed it. The hours flew by as I listened to the book every free moment and possible occasion.

Profile Avatar Pam M. Apr 2024

Great suspense! Hard to stop reading. The narrator brought the story to life

Profile Avatar jewellz Apr 2024

kept me intrigued at first then I lost interest, in saying so I still thought it was a decent book

Profile Avatar Ladibug Apr 2024

Great read that keep my internet the whole book.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Apr 2024

It was alright. It seemed more like a teen read than an adult read to me. A lot of it is written through the younger brothers eyes or thoughts.

Profile Avatar Gina M. Apr 2024

Ugh! Painfully long and drawn out. The talking ghost thing was so ridiculous. Narrator was very good.

Profile Avatar EmilyElisabeth W. Apr 2024

A bit different in terms of one of the main characters being a ghost...but definitely kept my interest, twist kept it interesting and overall good book and would recommend.

Profile Avatar Marcel L. Apr 2024

This book was a pleasant surprise for me. It is definitely not my normal genre but it was really good and captivating.

Profile Avatar Cynthia C. Apr 2024

great book

Profile Avatar Robin L. Apr 2024

Great plot twist and the narrator did a awesome job with the character voices!

Profile Avatar Elizabeth L. Apr 2024

Loved the story…sometimes the way the narrator talked, it reminded me of Kristen Wigg…very pronounced short endings of words

Profile Avatar Shannon B. Apr 2024

Excellent.

Profile Avatar Carol B. Apr 2024

A good narration. Heartrending story, well told.

Profile Avatar Tina B. Apr 2024

Oh my God, this was an awesome book! I listen to a lot of books each week, and this one just had me at the edge of my seat, wanting more, more, more. I couldn’t stop listening until the end. I just can’t say enough, this was a very well written, and narrated book , a definite must read

Profile Avatar CiCi D. Apr 2024

This was such a great listen! I had a hard time stopping myself from listening to it. It hit me in all the feels. This listen is jarring with everything that happens to the children involved. It actually had me in tears at some points.

Profile Avatar K.R.S Feb 2024

I enjoy this book. I thought it was well written and the narration was on point.

Profile Avatar Flora Zobl Feb 2024

Great and gripping story!Didn't like how the killer was revealed but the rest was really good! Although I first thought the ghost sister is kind of childish but not at all!

Interesting take on a murder mystery, the ghost element played really well. Overall a good listen and good narration. The killer freaked me out!

Profile Avatar Anonymous Oct 2023

A really fun listen. I walk and listen to audiobooks and I couldn’t wait for my walks so I could keep listening.

Profile Avatar Mark G. Oct 2023

Good story, if a little transparent (pardon the pun). I really liked the narrator but I felt her voice of the mother was too much on the edge of hysteria almost every time she spoke. Overall enjoyable read

Profile Avatar Sunset L. Oct 2023

A gripping story, although a dark one. The narrator was absolutely brilliant.

Profile Avatar Kathy L. Sep 2023

Really enjoyed this thriller. I had to pull myself away a few times while the plot was unfolding. Narrator was exceptional. First Gregg Dunnett novel for me and I’m excited to listen to more of of what he has published.

Excellent.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Sep 2023

This book was amazing. I truly loved every second of it. The narrator was brilliant at bringing this book to life.

Profile Avatar Tzianet F. Sep 2023

I thought the ending was too ‘tidy’, a convenient shooting and an unlikely knife hidden in his sock.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Sep 2023

This book was amazing. Keeps you on the edge of your seat!

Profile Avatar Smileykat Sep 2023

I really loved this book! The ending was so beautifully written. I loved the brother and sister bond. It added depth and warmth to the story.

I listened to the book in one day. I enjoyed the suspense, the concept of the book and the narrator did an excellent job keeping the read interesting with voice changes and per pace was perfect. I do recommend this book

Good book, excellent narrator!

Profile Avatar Patty Aug 2023

I loved this book. I was hesitant and I’ll admit that I did fast forward w a child hurt but don’t let that stop you from a great book. I almost did so glad I took the chance well worth the read.

Profile Avatar Christine L. Aug 2023

Good read. Predictable and slow.
