Little Red House

By: Liv Andersson

Narrated by: Mia Barron

In 1997, Eve Foster’s daughter, Kelsey, runs away to New Mexico and vanishes without a trace. Eve is convinced that she’s the victim of a serial killer who’s been hunting women in the region, but Kelsey’s body is never found. Years later, Eve dies, leaving everything to her adopted twin daughters. The majority of the wealthy estate in Vermont goes to Lisa, the “good daughter,” while Connie inherits only a small stipend and a property in New Mexico.

Connie, often the target of Eve's cruelty, suspects this was another of her mother's vindictive games. Connie arrives in New Mexico to find a small dilapidated red house in the desert and the home’s mysterious caretaker, Jet Montgomery, living in a shack on the property. She learns there's been a string of women murdered in the area—murders that no one will talk about.

Before Connie can get to the truth, her mother’s sadistic mind games come creeping back from the grave, and now the danger becomes all too real. With a serial killer on the loose and a trove of deadly secrets coming to the surface, Connie is in a desperate race to save herself and what little is left of her shattered family.

Original Storyline

Definitely not formulaic or predictable. The big reveal was multi-layered, some of which I enjoyed, some of which were a bit underwhelming. One thing that bothers me a little is when a reveal is something you were never given enough information to have seen coming if you look back...but I can get past that. It was overall a good read. Held my interest, much more plot than character driven, but showed some character development. I will definitely look for more from this author.

That ending was f'ed up! But satisfying.

This book kept me listening until the very end. The author didn't pull any punches.

Creepy and twisted

Just a little too sick for willing suspension of belief, but at least it wasn't easy to guess the ending.

Pretty darn good!

While I had some of it figured out, I didn’t have it all. I kept thinking Cook would’ve returned as somebody else too, but she didn’t. The story was interesting with twists and turns and not what I would consider a run-of-the-mill mystery/thriller. I liked it a lot.

Great book

This was a great read, great mysteries for semi brothers author, and well worth the credit. I can’t wait to read some more of her books.
