About this audiobook

From the bestselling author of the hugely popular thrillers Things We Do in the Dark, Little Secrets, and Jar of Hearts comes Wonderland, a roller coaster of a listen. Now in audio for the first time!

After a personal tragedy and professional scandal forces homicide detective Vanessa Castro out of Seattle, she takes a new job in Seaside, Washington, determined to make a fresh start for herself and her family. The small beach town, best known for its popular amusement park, Wonderland, seems like the perfect place to raise her young son and teenage daughter.

But it's not that easy starting over, especially as the town's new Deputy Chief of Police. When a dead body turns up at the park her first day on the job, and then a teenage Wonder Worker goes missing, Vanessa's investigation is met with resistance. After all, Wonderland is the largest amusement park in the Pacific Northwest, attracting tourists from all over the country and providing thousands of jobs for the locals. A scandal that hurts the park hurts the town, but the more questions Vanessa asks, the more questions arise . . . especially when she learns that the missing teenage boy is the not the first park employee to disappear. The deeper she goes, the more she begins to suspect that the terrifying rumors about Wonderland's dark past might actually be true.

Surrounded by secrets, lies, and corruption at the highest levels, Vanessa's family is now in the center of a serial killer's twisted game . . . and there's nobody she can trust but herself.

Ratings and reviews

Wonderland is a perfectly creepy story! Can too much time on Tilt-a-Whirls and in front of funhouse mirrors make people crazy? After reading this book, I'm thinking yes. Teenagers are disappearing, adults are keeping secrets, and there's a lot of shady stuff happening in and around this amusement park. This story was like riding a roller coaster; all sorts of ups and downs and neck-cracking twists! Eunice Wong, our audiobook narrator, does a fantastic job embracing the mood and the characters. I was thoroughly immersed from start to finish. *Huge thank you to Macmillan Audio for the free audiobook download!*
