About this audiobook
He was a child who was accused of murder. Who did he become when he grew up? A gripping, thought-provoking thriller from the internationally bestselling author of Everything She Forgot.
Innocent?
Ten years have passed, but everyone remembers The Angel Killer. Sebastian Croll was just eleven years old when accused of murdering his playmate.
Criminal attorney Daniel Hunter helped prove Sebastian's innocence in a trial that gripped the nation—and now the past is being unearthed when he gets a call from his old client.
Or guilty?
Sebastian's university professor has been brutally murdered—and everyone who knew her is in the frame of suspicion. As Daniel steps in to represent Sebastian for a second time, news about the boy's past spreads like wildfire, instantly branding Sebastian as guilty.
With tensions around the country rising, can Daniel prove once again that Sebastian is the innocent one? Especially when he realizes that it's not just Sebastian who is in danger, but himself . . .

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Enjoyed this very much. This was my first audio book, and I'm glad I chose this one to start with.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I liked the characters, and I felt it was well written, but as far as being a thriller, it didn’t hit the mark. There was no twist. It was all pretty obvious and straightforward and what I thought the story would focus on (both murders) it barely focused on at all
