The Gardener of Eden: A Novel Audiobook (Free)

A mysterious beachcomber appears one day over the coastal bluffs close to the small town of Carverville, a location whose best times are very long behind it. Who is he, and why provides he returned after almost forty years? Carverville’s prodigal kid, James, serendipitously finds just work at a gentrified motel, but his homecoming shortly requires a sinister turn when he and an area teenager make a gruesome finding in the beach. It makes him to reckon using the spirits of his past-and the dangers of today’s. Gossips, distrust, and conspiracies pass on among the townsfolk, most of them apparently trapped within their claustrophobic and isolated globe. But will there be something more sinister at work here compared to the mere concern with outsiders? In The Gardener of Eden, David Downie weaves an elaborate and compelling narrative of redemption, revenge, justice, and love-and the price of secrecy-as a community grapples using its tortured history and frightening potential.
