About this listen

Scott Kingston is afraid of monsters. He thinks they’re lurking outside his bedroom window at night when his mother tucks him in. He asks his mother to keep the light on to scare the monsters away. But that light is exactly what lures the kidnapper to his window, and the next morning, Scott Kingston is gone.

Twenty-eight years later, Vernon Johnson is released from jail after spending the biggest part of his life on death row, convicted of having kidnapped and killed Scott Kingston. As so many times before, he has appealed his case, but this time, the judge decides to let him go. A witness has finally told the truth, and there is no longer sufficient evidence to keep him in jail.

But shortly after Vernon Johnson is released and has returned to his childhood town, another child disappears, and soon, all eyes are on him again.

Jack Ryder is getting ready to build the house of his dreams while hoping that Shannon won’t end up in jail for the murder her ex-husband committed. She is expecting their child, and the pregnancy, along with the worrying, takes a toll on the both of them, especially when a dark secret is revealed about the lot where they are preparing to build their house.

I enjoyed this book. This is the third book in the series so I have gotten use to the writers style of jumping from character and time. This book felt like it had three different cases or stories going on so you had to concentrate or you will find it confusing and it is only at the end that you learn how they are connected. The reason I keep listening to the series is because I like the characters, especially Jacks home life. The badies are certainly evil and the type that you love to hate. I can't wait to start the next book.
Vernon is released from jail and another young boy disappears from his bed, the very crime a witness changing his testimony means Vernon was cleared of. A young boys remains are found and it is soon prove that Vernon could not have been disappear because the boy died after he went to jail. Now it's up to Jack to find the real killer but with a storm rolling in Jack finds himself and his own family caught in the centre of the storm when a killer targets him. With a new baby on the way and one of his four children already in danger who will Jack choose to save.
The narrator is okay but not the greatest he is to laid back and you need to speed up the story or it is a bit monotonous.
