Summary

On a warm May evening in the spring of 1979, the people of Heartsridge, Massachusetts, are living the American dream. Families are gathered for barbecues. Kids are playing in front yards. Gardens are being kept. Meanwhile, Kara Price stumbles home through the woods, raped and beaten, her life shattered by a wicked act of violence, perpetrated by one of the town's most beloved and public figures.

Surrounding Kara is a cast of compelling and nefarious characters - a violent-tempered mayor who can do no wrong in the eyes of the town, a sheriff bound by the rules and plagued by a guilty conscience, a father bent on revenge, a serial killer in the midst of an identity crisis. And at the center of it all there's Kara, who just wants to move on with her life and forget everything that happened to her. But how can she do that when everyone thinks she is a liar who is only out for attention? With plot and emotion braided together by a careful hand, this haunted group of people all acting on behalf of their own interests begs the question: How far would you go to protect your own?

Stopped listening at the animal abuse scene

What did you like best about Cicada Spring? What did you like least?

The narrator was great but I was sickened by the animal abuse scene and stopped listening at that point.

What could Christian Galacar have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Exclude the animal abuse

Any additional comments?

I was really enjoying listening to the book as the narrator was really good and the story drew you in, but then there was an awful animal abuse scene and I stopped listening at that point.
