About this audiobook
A gripping thriller about three young girlfriends, a dark obsession and a chilling crime that shakes up a quiet Iowa town, from the New York Times bestselling author of The Weight of Silence.
For twelve-year-old Cora Landry and her friends Violet and Jordyn, it was supposed to be an ordinary sleepover—movies and Ouija and talking about boys. But when they decide to sneak out to go to the abandoned rail yard on the outskirts of town, little do they know that their innocent games will have dangerous consequences.
Later that night, Cora Landry is discovered on the tracks, bloody and clinging to life, her friends nowhere to be found. Soon their small rural town is thrust into a maelstrom. Who would want to hurt a young girl like Cora—and why? In an investigation that leaves no stone unturned, everyone is a suspect and no one can be trusted—not even those closest to Cora.
Before She Was Found is a timely and gripping thriller about friendship and betrayal, about the power of social pressure and the price of needing to fit in. It is about the great lengths a parent will go to protect their child and keep them safe—even if that means burying the truth, no matter the cost.
Don’t miss Heather’s upcoming twisty locked-room thriller, EVERYONE IS WATCHING!

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Two things essential for a good audio story. Good writing and good narration. This is the best narration I have heard to date. Outstanding

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I enjoyed the book until the end . For a “who dunnit” , the story was good but when you finally learn who done it, it’s disappointing.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Well written and the narrator did a good job with all of the voices. Ending was improbable.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book definitely has a YA feel to it...imagine Slenderman meets Mean Girls. It keeps you reading though because you have to know who did what. I was correct in my guess of who did it, but I was completely surprised by Joseph Wither! So, if you're not opposed to a YA Thriller this one is perfect.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Blown away! Very good. I almost didn't make it through the first chapter but I am so glad I did. I promise, stick with it and you wont be disappointed. Had me guessing till the end! I must also add that the narrator is one of the best. Great job all around.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book was amazing. There’s a lot of characters to keep up w/ in the beginning, but once I familiarized myself w/ the families, it was impossible to put the book down. I was mesmerized from start to finish. I would highly recommend this story to anyone that is a fan of psychological thrillers. A must read.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A little creepy with plenty of twists !! With an ending you won't see coming!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great thriller! I didn't see the end coming my way. I got some of my suspicions, but none of them came through.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5What a great and thrilling book, all the way up until the end!
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5So drawn out. Incredibly slow for no reason. And the ending was just ridiculous. Such a waste of time.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Really enjoyed the story! Narrator did I wonderful job of being each character to life! Recommend a listen!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book was awesome left you not wanting to put it down! I was so absorbed in the story line, it is so well written, just when you think you know who did it, you find out your wrong. The ending left you praying it is turned into a movie!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This book was ok, it kind of dragged for me, at times. The ending was a twist, but not one that I thought was great. I really enjoy Heather Gudenkauf's writing, I just didn't feel like this was one of her best.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Wow!!!! What a fantastic performance from Pressley!!!! The number of characters she had to portray and their young ages could not have been done with ease. Wonderful performance. Wonderful story line. Throughout the entire read I was predicting who I thought was at fault,... then spent the last 5 minutes with my jaw opened wide in shock (as I completed my dinner preparing tasks while listening )!!! Would most definitely recommend this book to others. Now I’m on a hunt for this author and another listen by Pressley!!! ????
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Great book!! Had me in suspense all the way through. I made at least two conclusions on who did it. And was wrong both times. Thoroughly enjoyed this book
