In a small town, everyone knows everyone else’s business. But in Brindle, Oregon, there’s a secret nobody wants to see.
Todd Fielding, a newly married young woman, comes to Brindle for a job with the local newspaper, which plans to celebrate the town’s centennial by printing photos and letters from the town’s history. But the relics of the past hide a dark secret. When a young girl disappears and no one in the town appears particularly concerned, Todd looks deeper. She uncovers the shocking fact that five other girls have run away from Brindle under strange circumstances over the past twenty years, but no one seems interested in finding them. As she begins to understand the history of a town steeped in evil, manipulation, and cold-blooded murder, she decides the secrecy has lasted far too long.

I didn't love it...but I liked alright. Probably more like 3.5 stars but worth a listen. The story was engaging and the plot well thought out. I liked the many characters in the story and the author did a decent job of developing them as the story moved along. At times there was more focus on the main romantic relationship in the story, but it was not over the top as someone suggested.
Honestly, I think the thing that took this book down a few notches for me was the narration. The narrator was decent enough, I liked her real voice, but when she was in character, especially male characters, it just did not click for me. Having a man do female voices, when done correctly, can work well – but in reverse....I haven’t heard one yet I liked. This one was no exception and it really detracted from my overall enjoyment. Petty maybe – but if I had read this book I think I would have liked it more.
Good story if you can get past a female narrator doing cheesy male voices.

The author spends far too much time on romantic interactions. At least she didn’t go into detail like a trashy romance novel.
