The lights are on at the Singleton vacation home on Lopez Island, Washington, illuminating the horror within. Scott Singleton, former NFL star turned television evangelist, lies dead. The bodies of his wife and four of their five children are found on the second floor, bound, gagged, and stabbed repeatedly. The oldest daughter was shot downstairs. And the police's main suspect-the property caretaker-has disappeared. In her secluded vineyard home two hours away, Laura Gretchell is on edge. Her husband is out of town on business, and the children are understandably shaken. Laura tries to tell herself there's no reason to fear. Then the door handle rattles, and the real terror begins. They're in her house, holding her children hostage, and Laura has only one option: do exactly what the intruders say. But as Laura races to find the information they seek, she realizes that the enemies within her own home are only part of the nightmare. Because someone wants to keep the truth hidden at any cost, no matter how many more must die . . .… (más)

Thriller
  BooksInMirror | Feb 19, 2024 |
Was this even written by Kevin O’Brien? This author up until this book wrote scary psychological thrillers unlike anyone else. This was the first book by him I had no trouble putting down and doing something else.
It was as if the publisher grabbed some guy out of a creative writing course and told him the storylines of a number of O’Briens books and then said now write the next one.
The first 40 pages are setting up what should be a great story then 340 pages of idiocy,
And then the book spends 80 pages explaining everything you already knew happened or would happen.
Unfortunately the 340 pages are where you have to suspend everything you know about how most people would behave and just believe this was realistic.
The home invaders portion or the story took over from the main story and was unneeded,unreal, and at times comical.
I sure hope this was a one off mistake and not the path his future books will follow. ( )

This is a fast paced thriller that certainly kept me entertained. In the story Laura Gretchell and her children are held hostage in their home by two men. One man is the caretaker of a nearby home where an entire family was just murdered, the other is a former student of Laura's . Laura's husband is out of town so it is up to her to find out what these men want and save her children. I found this to be a fairly well done thriller, there were ups and downs and unexpected twists throughout the book. My only reservation was that I didn't find Laura and her reactions entirely believable. Aside from that issue I found the book very enjoyable and the audio was well done. This review is based on a copy of the book given to me by the publisher in exchange for an honest review. ( )

A story about a family stuck in the middle of a murder mystery, I was very impressed with this book. It was riveting and hard to put down. A thriller that made me wish the book was even longer.

'They Won't Be Hurt' proved to be a riveting and thrilling book, keeping you at the edge of your seat throughout. The writing style was impressive and easy to follow. The story flowed from one chapter to the next with a smooth transition.

I won this book in a LibraryThing contest and received the audio version. Transfer onto my phone made listening to the story easy and convenient. The audio was well produced and the voices were easy to listen to.

I did have a bit of trouble in the first few chapters. It was a bit difficult to concentrate on what was happening at the beginning. After the first few chapters of the book, though, there was no problem. At that time the story picked up and was quite riveting.

I would recommend this book to anyone who loves both mysteries and thrillers. A wonderful read with a very good conclusion. Well done! ( )

I enjoyed listening to the reader, he did an excellent job. Overall the book itself was pretty good. It got better as it went along and the end I felt made up for the shortcomings in the beginning. I hate when an otherwise intelligent person does something very stupid in the beginning just to have an 'explanation' to get the story where the author wants it to be. Which was how this one did start. Decent thriller, ending was pretty close to what I expected. ( )
