"Courtney Summers's powerful story of love, neglect, abuse, and revenge is narrated with irresistible urgency by Rebecca Soler and Dan Bittner, along with an ensemble of supporting narrators...this is a production that will not be forgotten" — AudioFile Magazine, Earphones Award Winner


An innovative audiobook production featuring more than thirty voices, Sadie explores the depth of a sister's love — poised to be the next story listeners won't be able to pause.


A missing girl on a journey of revenge and a Serial—like podcast following the clues she's left behind.

Sadie hasn't had an easy life. Growing up on her own, she's been raising her sister Mattie in an isolated small town, trying her best to provide a normal life and keep their heads above water.

But when Mattie is found dead, Sadie's entire world crumbles. After a somewhat botched police investigation, Sadie is determined to bring her sister's killer to justice and hits the road following a few meager clues to find him.

When West McCray—a radio personality working on a segment about small, forgotten towns in America—overhears Sadie's story at a local gas station, he becomes obsessed with finding the missing girl. He starts his own podcast as he tracks Sadie's journey, trying to figure out what happened, hoping to find her before it's too late.

Courtney Summers' Sadie is propulsive and harrowing and will keep listeners riveted until the last chapter.

More praise for Sadie:

"An electrifying thriller, taut as a bowstring. A coming-of-age tale, both gritty and sensitive. A poignant drama of love and loss. This -- all this -- is Sadie: a novel for readers of any age, and a character as indelible as a scar. Flat-out dazzling." — A.J. Finn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window

"A haunting, gut-wrenching, and relentlessly compelling read. Sadie grabs you and won't let you go until you've borne witness." — Veronica Roth, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Carve the Mark and The Divergent series

I want to start by saying I haven't finished this book and I might not. I desperately want to know the ending but one thing that needs to be noted for anyone considering listening... if you were a victim of sexual abuse as a child, this book will be an incredibly hard listen, because while it is a work of fiction, the abuse she suffers is real for many and you might find your own history mirrored to you. The writing is compelling and once you start, stopping will be difficult but you need to determine if it is worth putting yourself through that.

This book is beyond imagination, BUT-

There was no ending so that sucked. You're keeping mda waiting for the big reveal and there isn't one. But a good book apart from that. Narrated really well. Loved the background and audio score

No ending. :( but an awesome book apart from that.

it was an enjoyable book that showed excellent restraint with a sensitive subject. The writer show sensitivity, that girls abuse is does not need to be grotesque for you to know what's happening.
The readers were just okay. the main male character was well done, and Sadie herself was fine. but they way people were described and how they sounded were not the same.

surprisingly not graphic.
