About this listen
When two girls are abducted and killed in Missouri, journalist Camille Preaker is sent back to her home town to report on the crimes. Long haunted by a childhood tragedy and estranged from her mother for years, Camille suddenly finds herself installed once again in her family's mansion, reacquainting herself with her distant mother and the half sister she barely knows - a precocious 13-year-old who holds a disquieting grip on the town.
As Camille works to uncover the truth about these violent crimes, she finds herself identifying with the young victims - a bit too strongly. Clues keep leading to dead ends, forcing Camille to unravel the psychological puzzle of her own past to get at the story. Dogged by her own demons, Camille will have to confront what happened to her years before if she wants to survive this homecoming.

A bit too gruesome and depressing for me

The end is wrapped up incredibly quickly, especially when you consider the pace of the rest of the story. It felt like a missed opportunity to delve into the complex characters more deeply.
The narrators voice is all wrong for the character. She sounds about 20 years older than the character she’s ‘playing’, she sounds around 70 when playing the mum (who we’re told is in her 40’s) and about 5 when she plays the teenage sister. The voices are creepy, but not in an intended way.
I ordered a twist, please.
