About this audiobook

Spooky, thoroughly original and hauntingly written, A Guide for Murdered Children is a psychological thriller and an otherworldly surprise.

We all say there is no justice in this world. But what if there really was? What if the souls of murdered children were able to return briefly to this world, inhabit adult bodies and wreak ultimate revenge on the monsters who had killed them, stolen their lives?

Such is the unfathomable mystery confronting ex-NYPD detective Willow Wylde, fresh out of rehab and finally able to find a job running a Cold Case squad in suburban Detroit. When the two rookie cops assigned to him take an obsessive interest in a decades old disappearance of a brother and sister, Willow begins to suspect something out of the ordinary is afoot. And when he uncovers a series of church basement AA-type meetings made up of the slain innocents, a new way of looking at life, death, murder and missed opportunities is revealed to him.

Mystical, harrowing and ultimately tremendously moving, A Guide for Murdered Children is a genre-busting, mind-bending twist on the fine line between the ordinary and the extraordinary.

    I won an Advanced Readers Copy in a GOODREADS giveaway sponsored by Dutton. Awesome cover/Title. Great premise and story line. The writing style is very loose and takes a while to adapt to but it adds to the peculiar nature of the plot. Just be away that it is a bit jumbled and keeps circling around; I got lost several times and had to re-read some spots.

    I don't know why I picked up this book to read, whether it was on a list or if it was highlighted at the library. In any case, I found the book in my pile to read. The book is about murdered children who return "to life" in the form of tenants in a landlord's body. The "landlord" is also dead, and provide a body for the tenant to use while they embark on achieving their moment of balance. Willow Wylde, an alcoholic, and a cop, senses their presence. He becomes part of a cold case squad, and is assigned to find the killer of a brother and sister who disappeared 20 years earlier. It so happens that Troy and Maya, the abducted children, were the children of friends of his.
    This is a very disturbing story of child abductors and torturers. It tries to allow the children to confront their abusers and murderers.
    An interesting concept, but it was a little too creepy for me.

    I purchased this book on Amazon to read. All opinions are my own. ??? A Guide For Murdered Children by Sarah Sparrow. When I read this synopsis I immediately wanted this book. The spooky premise behind it was intriguing. I was let down. ? The idea behind this story is amazing a retired drunk cop with visions of the dead and children seeking revenge in murders seems exactly like the perfect balance for justice. However, the way this one is written with the bouncing back and forth through the timeline and the thoughts of the characters seem to drone on and on. Overall the story was great, the plot twists were well laid out and it does all kind of come together in the last 100 pages or so but those first 300 you have to be dedicated to getting through them.
