4.5.2023 - Wonderland

Many thanks to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for gifting me an audio ARC of the audio rerelease of this thriller by Jennifer Hillier and wonderfully narrated by Eunice Wong - 4.5 stars!

Wonderland is a retro amusement park located in Seaside, Washington.  It's an important tourist draw to the town and a rite of passage for employment of Seaside teens.  But then a strange combination of events happens - a young teen worker climbs the Ferris wheel as a social media prank and then disappears.  Meanwhile, a decaying body is found at the base of the wheel.  Vanessa Castro just arrived back in Seaside for her first day as Deputy Chief of the Seaside PD.  It's her job to investigate all the strange happenings - hopefully before her family gets hurt.

What could be creepier than a Clown Museum and The Doll House in an old amusement park?  Just what is happening in the park?  I thought this was a fast-paced thriller that had me guessing and then shocked!  This book was initially released in 2015 and just now being made available as an audiobook - and the narration is fabulous!  I didn't read this one when it first came out even though I'm a Hillier fan, so was happy to be able to listen to it.
