Is Anyone Listening? is the first book in the new psychological thriller series by Barbara Freethy, following a group of true-crime podcasters on the go who get into trouble while they uncover truths behind the crimes they investigate.

Cassidy Clarke never planned to chase killers. Her true-crime podcast, Mysteries Uncorked, started as a side project—just three friends, a few glasses of wine, and unsolved cases that fascinated them. But when their audience explodes, the women decide to go on location for their next story: the disappearance of a young woman from a coastal inn in Maine.

For Cassidy, the case hits close to home. The missing woman was last seen at the Stonecross Inn, which is run by the grandmother she’s never met. Ellen Clarke makes one thing clear when they arrive: she doesn’t want them there. But the microphones are already live, and the listeners are hooked.

As Cassidy and Tessa dig deeper, they uncover whispers of other women who came to Stonecross and never left. The locals refuse to talk. And Ellen knows far more than she’ll say.

Then another woman vanishes. Cassidy’s podcast goes viral, and someone decides it’s time to cut her mic for good.

A chilling, addictive psychological thriller from a #1 NYT Bestselling Author about ambition, small town secrets, and the stories that refuse to stay silent. This female-led psychological thriller follows a woman who investigates an unanswered mystery while challenging a powerful small-town establishment. Perfect for fans of R
