  • The Girl Who Lived

    Christopher Greyson, Amy McFadden, Greyson Media

    Audible Audiobook (Greyson Media, Dec. 11, 2017)
    10 years ago, four people were brutally murdered. One girl lived. No one believes her story. The police think she's crazy. Her therapist thinks she's suicidal. Everyone else thinks she's a dangerous drunk. They're all right - but did she see the killer? As the anniversary of the murders approaches, Faith Winters is released from the psychiatric hospital and yanked back to the last spot on earth she wants to be - her hometown where the slayings took place. Wracked by the lingering echoes of survivor's guilt, Faith spirals into a black hole of alcoholism and wanton self-destruction. Finding no solace at the bottom of a bottle, Faith decides to track down her sister's killer - and then discovers that she's the one being hunted. How can one woman uncover the truth when everyone's a suspect - including herself? From the mind of Wall Street Journal best-selling author Christopher Greyson comes a story with twists and turns that take the listener on a journey of light and dark, good and evil, to the edge of madness. The Girl Who Lived should come with a warning label: Once you start listening, you won't be able to stop. Not since Girl on the Train and Gone Girl has a psychological thriller kept listeners so addicted - and guessing right until the last minute.
