But rebuilding life is complicated by chance encounters and odd occurrences leaving Finn with the growing suspicion that the people here are harboring a terrible, deadly secret.

Reviews for The Killing Ground

[Pamela Child · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Lots of suspense and danger. Some wonderful advice for living, Interesting characters but very odd ending and even stranger way of discovery. The narrator was good although had a strange pronunciation of a few words and even more unusual accents for some characters. I don’t know if I will seek more from this author.

Amazing story and the writing style itself. The ambiance, vibe of the place is really great as well... Actually listened to the book twice in a row, and it was captivating even when I knew the ending. Long time since I listened to something as good ?
