The Moonlight Child

By: Karen McQuestion

Narrated by: Stacey Glemboski

On a cold January night, Sharon Lemke heads outside to see a lunar eclipse when she notices something odd at the house behind her backyard. Through her neighbor's kitchen window, she sees what appears to be a little girl washing dishes late at night. But the Fleming family doesn't have a child that age, and even if they did, why would she be doing housework at this late hour?

It would be easy for Sharon to just let this go, but when eighteen-year-old Niki, a former foster child, comes to live with Sharon, she notices suspicious activity at the Flemings' house as well. When calling social services doesn't result in swift action, the two decide to investigate on their own…

Top notch narration weaves a strong story together

I loved the way the story and the narrator blended seamlessly to create an immersive listening experience. Stacey is a true artist. The story was powerful and lovely. Well done.

Great story

Loved the suspenseful plot, and kindness of some of the characters, but disliked the mild profanity. Great narration !

Captivating Story

Really gripped me from beginning to end. Narration was excellent. Characters were interesting. Enjoyed it.

The Moonlight Child

I loved this book! Good believable story and the right amount of suspense. I will be looking for more books from this Author

Simple and surprisingly entertaining

This was my first book from this author. At first, when I began the story, I wasn't the biggest fan of her style of writing. I usually enjoy more poetic wording, richer descriptions, uses of metaphors, etc. The writing felt a little more on the prosaic side and wasn't all too dynamic. However, I was very taken in by the actual story itself. I loved the characters and plot. The performance by the reader is wonderful. There are characters ranging from an 8 year-old little girl to old men and she seems to almost effortlessly bring each character to life with depth, dimension and honesty. Though not my typical type of novel (I kept thinking how it could almost be a Lifetime made-for-TV movie), I still really, really enjoyed it.
