Following the #1 NYT release of We Are All Guilty Here, comes the next thrilling mystery in the new North Falls series from Karin Slaughter, and narrated once again by Kathleen Early…

Welcome to North Falls. A small town with big secrets.

1601 Iris Drive looks like any other house on the quiet, residential street. But rumors are rampant about the Vickery family, and what goes on behind closed doors.

When gunshots ring out, Sheriff Emmy Clifton and her sister, ex-federal agent Jude Archer, discover a devastating crime scene. Allison Vickery has been murdered in her own kitchen, and her teenage daughter is bleeding upstairs, left for dead.

Everyone thinks they know what happened. But secrets are buried everywhere in this small town.

And it’s up to Emmy Clifton to uncover the truth…

What Audible Listeners Are Saying

5/5 stars — “Stunning”
As usual, top notch storytelling from Karin Slaughter. Kathleen Early brings the story perfectly, and this is her best performance to date. Billion stars. Infinity/100. Start with book one, and by the time you’re done with this (book 2), you’ll be aching for the next.

— Ashley Allen, Audible listener

5/5 stars — “Another Great Book!”
Another North Falls cliff hanger! I can’t wait for the next! The performance is always excellent as well.

— Jennifer, Audible listener

5/5 stars — “Loved it”
While the first book was better in my opinion this book really showed the dynamics of family life. Even though there was so much going on family was still at the top. I always have to listen to these books because Kathleen Early does such a wonderful job. I can’t imagine anyone else doing the character voices. She adds so much emotion to the story. You can truly feel the characters pain and happiness with her. Can’t wait for the next one.
