Publisher's Summary

Winner of the 2019 Odyssey Award
Winner of the 2019 Audie Award for Young Adult Audiobook

An innovative audiobook production featuring more than 30 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 track.

Critic Reviews

"A haunting, gut-wrenching, and relentlessly compelling read. Sadie grabs you and won't let you go until you've borne witness." (Veronica Roth, number-one New York Times best-selling author of Carve the Mark and the Divergent series)

"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, number-one New York Times best-selling author of The Woman in the Window)

"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)

It’s like watching a movie

I literally had goosebumps at the end. This has to be one of the best full cast audiobooks, every voice just got the emotions so right, the writing of this book is so good that made this audiobook a great one, I can’t it recommend this one enough, just go for it.

Simple story with simple narration

If you know true crime podcasts, then, you know what you are getting into. I only bought this because it is an audio drama which are always nice,and the book is priced dirt cheap here in India. The story is not great shakes. There is way too much narration. As others have complained, an extremely weak ending that seems to be an attempt at, something, vague.

Still, it’s a good listen. You can skip the middle 10 to 20 chapters without losing out on any of the story.

Captivating throughout, but an unsatisfying end

Listened to the audio book. And though I haven't read the physical book, I believe the story lends itself well to the audio book format. The podcast chapters make it sound like an actual documentary from real life.

I had read the ending is not for everyone, and I'm one of those "everyone". Still a worthy read (or listen).

Just fantastic

Best audiobook I've heard. The narration is so engaging. I could visualise everything as the story was being told. I was in tears in the end. Sadie's story maybe hard to hear, but should be heard.

Wow! Heartbreaking, beautiful. Tremendous narration.

This whole book was a wild ride. First off, the narration is simply phenomenal. With multiple narrators and background sounds, this is a holistic experience. The story too is very well-written, with a touching storyline and wonderful character arcs. Definitely worth listening to.

You HAVE to listen to this!!

This has to be the best audible production of the year. Absolutely heartbreaking story and what a magnificent performance.

I’m not going to say much else, except that you have to listen to this work of art. You’d be missing out on something really special if you didn’t.

(P.s: Thanks to my sister who recommended this book to me. :D )
