She Lies Close

By: Sharon Doering

Narrated by: Lisa Flanagan

A compulsive debut thriller about motherhood, obsession, and how far we’d go to protect the ones we love

Five-year-old Ava Boone vanished without a trace six months ago. No witnesses, no sightings or arrests. But Grace Wright just moved in next door to the only suspect the case had: quiet, middle-aged Leland Ernest.

Recently divorced, Grace uprooted her two small children to start again and hopes the move will reset her crippling insomnia. With whispered neighborhood gossip and increasingly sleepless nights, Grace develops a fierce obsession with Leland and the safety of her children. Could she really be living next door to a child-kidnapper? A murderer?

With reality and dream blurring more each day, Grace desperately pursues the truth - following Ava’s family, demanding answers from the police - and then a body is discovered.

A Great Debut

This is a book that really took me by surprise! At times I was so drawn in I forgot it was just a story. Highly recommend to mystery and suspense book readers!

Loved it

I love the detailed inner thoughts. Twists and turns everywhere. There narration was awesome and easy to listen to.

Confused

Great story line but difficult to follow as to who was thinking and talking. Ending was a surprise.

Great book; Horrible narration

I thought this was quite an interesting book. It doesn’t turn out how you would expect in the end. There’s a lot of different things going on but it all ties in together pretty well. It’s not too busy and it doesn’t seem like the author was reaching for too much which can be annoying sometimes when you read different books. It was a easy listen, except for the fact that the narrator did a horrible job and seem super annoying. Sometimes I lost focus in what I was listening to and had to go back just because I couldn’t help but get annoyed by the voice. Great book, horrible narration

Crazy!

Thought I knew what was going on. Then I didn't. This story was absolutely different!!
