Book description
Pip thought she'd left the detective life behind. After solving Andie Bell's murder with Ravi, she'd launched a true-crime podcast with him-now viral, but a clear line drawn in the sand. No more investigations. Then Jamie Reynolds vanished. On the night her town gathered for the sixth anniversary memorial for Andie and Sal, Jamie disappeared. The police shrugged. They always did.
You hear Pip's voice crack when she admits she's breaking her promise. Not for fame, not for the podcast's buzz-this time, it's personal. Jamie was her friend. And the town's silence? It felt like the old ghosts were stirring again. The audiobook pulls you right into her head as she starts digging, the familiar ache of suspicion tightening in her chest. You feel the weight of every whispered secret she uncovers, every time a door slams too loudly in the background of her apartment.
Holly Jackson's genius shines in how the podcast element becomes the story. Pip's voice, now a public one, makes her investigation feel urgent, real. The narrator nails her exhaustion-she's exhausted from the last case, from being the girl who solved it, from the town's sideways glances. But when Jamie's gone, that exhaustion melts into something sharper: responsibility.
The town itself feels like a character. You hear the rain on the roof during her late-night research, the tense silence of the police station when they dismiss her. The audiobook's pacing is perfect-slow enough to build dread, then a sudden, jarring turn that makes you sit up. You'll catch yourself leaning closer, wondering if the next voice you hear on the podcast is the one that cracks the case.
What stays with you isn't just the mystery of Jamie, but Pip's quiet courage. She's not a hero; she's a girl who's tired, scared, and still chooses to look. The audiobook makes you feel that choice in your bones. You hear her doubt, her determination, the way her voice steadies when she realizes this is bigger than Andie or Sal. It's about the people who get forgotten.
And the ending? It's not tidy. It's real. You'll sit in the quiet after the last chapter, thinking about how easily secrets hide in plain sight-and how hard it is to stop looking, even when you know the truth might hurt more than the lie. That's the power of this audiobook: it doesn't just tell you a story. It makes you hear the whispers in your own town, and wonder what you'd do if you heard them too.
