The Gift

Hush Collection

By: Alison Gaylin

Narrated by: Cassandra Campbell

What’s a desperate mother to do when her child suddenly disappears? Anything it takes to keep the family together in USA Today bestselling author Alison Gaylin’s short story with a sting.

It’s dreaded news for actress Lyla McCord and her husband, Nolan. Their eight-year-old daughter has vanished. To find her, Nolan reaches out to a psychic gifted with uncanny visions about the lost girl. But Lyla thinks she sees right through him. Is he a con artist or the real thing? Either way, he might be telling the truth. And that’s too frightening for Lyla to bear.

Alison Gaylin’s The Gift is part of Hush, a collection of six stories, ranging from political mysteries to psychological thrillers, in which deception can be a matter of life and death. Each piece can be read or listened to in one truly chilling sitting.

Okay

So short I barely listened to it. I honestly have no idea what happened, but hey, what can you do.

Concisely terrific

Most short stories leave me wanting more. Not this one. It's perfect orchestration. Bravo Alison.

Great Series

Five great authors and five short stories full of quirky characters and weird twists marvelous narration.

Surprise ending!

A good listen for anyone who likes suspense, although it was difficult to like the MC.

Nicely Packaged…

The most exquisite and elegant of plot twists applied at the very end of the story. Nice!
