LaVoy keeps listeners engaged as Arden builds her new life—and reckons with Dustin’s continuing obsession.
Narrator January LaVoy draws listeners into this story of author Arden Bowie and the man obsessed with her. Arden encounters Dustin at a book signing.

This audiobook immerses listeners in a bloody Texas summer.
Garrett Michael Brown narrates this exciting summer camp slasher. Sheriff’s deputy Tom arrives at the scene of a massacre, with only one teen survivor left to tell the story—a situation eerily similar to a massacre at the same summer camp a decade earlier. Narrating in a Southern accent, Brown adopts an unhurried pace as the story unfolds like a police procedural. Tom examines the remains and digs into details others want to bury. While Brown’s characters are mostly differentiated, some voices are too similar to distinguish among them. Elizabeth Cappuccino delivers the survivors’ firsthand depictions of both massacres.

A top-notch audio ensemble makes this psychological roller-coaster ride breathtaking and unforgettable.
Multiple outstanding performances grace this twisty audiobook. World-famous author Miller, wonderfully voiced by Jean Brassard, takes listeners with him to his death as he falls from a cliff in the mountains near Lake Geneva. Everyone believes it was an accident, as Miller was known for rock climbing without safety gear, but his wife, Sarah, fully inhabited by Saskia Maarleveld, is sure it was murder. Meanwhile, Sarah’s business partner, Karen, narrated by Stephanie Németh-Parker, believes that Sarah has lost her grip on reality. At the center of the plot is a missing manuscript that reveals the truth about what happened to Miller’s sister 20 years earlier. The novel offers a stunning exploration of friendship, secrets, and betrayals.
