Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable, audiobook edition of Black Eye Susans by Julia Heaberlin, read by Sarah Borges, Christopher Ragland, Patricia Rodriguez and Julie Rogers.

Seventeen-year-old Tessa, dubbed a 'Black-Eyed Susan' by the media, became famous for being the only victim to survive the vicious attack of a serial killer. Her testimony helped to put a dangerous criminal behind bars - or so she thought.

Now, decades later the black-eyed susans planted outside Tessa's bedroom window seem to be a message from a killer who should be safely in prison.

Haunted by fragmented memories of the night she was attacked and terrified for her own teenage daughter's safety, can Tessa uncover the truth about the killer before it's too late?

Critic Reviews

It's a terrific plot, matched by the quality of the writing and superbly paced tension
Black Eyed Susans is a compelling read, especially for Serial fans
One of the classiest thrillers you'll read this year
About as good an example of Grip Lit as you could read
Sophisticated, disturbing and with plenty of red herrings
We can't remember the last time a thriller burrowed under out skin like this. Sparkling characters, authentic emotion, and an unpredictable plot makes this a terrific read from start to end
An absorbing character study and a good choice for readers who want to really sink into a psychological thriller
A truly compelling tale of the fragility of memory and elusive redemption
Black-Eyed Susans is a masterful thriller that shouldn't be missed . . . and in terms of suspense, characterizations and storytelling... is outstanding. Heaberlin's work calls to mind that of Gillian Flynn. Both writers published impressive early novels that were largely overlooked, and then one that couldn't be: Flynn's Gone Girl and now Heaberlin's Black-Eyed Susans. Don't miss it.
Gripping... The suspense builds as Tessie uncovers devastating secrets from the past en route to the shocking ending
