About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
The next nail-biting thriller from the Sunday Times best-selling author of Black-Eyed Susans.
The discovery of a girl abandoned by the side of the road threatens to unearth the long-buried secrets of a Texas town's legendary cold case.
Ten years ago Trumanell Branson disappeared, the only clue she left behind being a bloody handprint.
Her pretty face still hangs like a watchful queen from the posters on the walls of the town's church, police station and high school. They all promise the same thing: we will find you. Meanwhile, her brother, Wyatt, lives as a pariah in the old family house, cleared of any involvement by the police but tried and sentenced in the court of public opinion and now in a sensational TV documentary about the crime.
So when Wyatt finds a lost girl dumped in a field of dandelions, he believes she is a sign, someone to lead him to his sister and finally clear his name.
Instead she leads him to young Police Officer Odette Tucker. She knows they must tread carefully - the town, still waiting for its missing girl to come home, is a tinderbox, and this new arrival might just set it alight.
But Odette can't look away.
For in this twisty, atmospheric psychological thriller, one lost girl may finally unearth the truth about another - and a town's dark heart.

"Gorgeous writing, interesting characters, a unique setting and an unsettling, surprising mystery. We Are All the Same in the Dark has it all." (Amy Engel, best-selling author of The Familiar Dark)
"One of my favourite[s] of the year. The twisty plot and unexpected revelations propelled me through the...novel.... Absolutely mesmerising." (Heather Gudenkauf, New York Times best-selling author of The Weight of Silence)
Julia Heaberlin is a first class storyteller. I’ll be looking out for more of her work. She writes beautifully constructed prose, within which the imagery and diversity of the enticing lead characters stand out for how they cope with life after losing a limb or eye, each having been developed through thorough research and commitment to understanding such plights via those who experience them and who have medically/aesthetically supported them, leaving us in no doubt as to her sense of responsibility and respect for what it’s like in real life, the obstacles they face and the courage they have to overcome challenges, making this novel relatable as well as educational.
The narrators voices were so perfectly in tune with the characters they performed that if felt like they were talking directly to you, and being let in to their innermost thoughts, fears and unflinching desire for truth and justice, irrespective of the dangers they may encounter.
It’s a deliciously slow burn, which builds in all the right places for the dramas unfolding in this novel’s in among its unforgettable landscape and the places central to the story.
If you love artful literary fiction and strong characters, with suspenseful psychological and criminal elements, I can’t recommend this enough!
So thank you for the recommendation, Audible!

Found it quite depressing. Don’t read it if you’re having a tough time in life or are feeling worn out. It just piles on the grief!
Good narration!
