The first drops start to fall when Quinn spies the body. With no reception and nothing but an empty road for miles, does she stop to help or keep driving to safety? Back at the iconic country pub where Quinn works, Andrea is sandbagging the place in preparation for heavy rains. Alone with her sleeping son in the back room, she reluctantly lets a biker in to wait out the storm. Out on the wet roads, tensions arise among four backpackers on their way to Darwin. They haven’t prepared for this kind of weather and the flooding isn’t the only threat on the horizon.

Publisher's Summary
A lawyer's race to reveal a wrongful conviction collides with the dark shadow of a murder in his own home in this propulsive and perfectly-plotted thriller from award-winning writer Allen Eskens.
When Boady Sanden first receives the case of Elijah Matthews, he’s certain there’s not much he can do. Elijah, who believes himself to be a prophet, has been locked up in a psychiatric hospital for the past four years, convicted of brutally murdering the pastor of a megachurch. But as a law professor working for the Innocence Project, Boady agrees to look into Elijah’s file. When he does, he is alarmed to find threads that lead back to the death of his colleague and friend, Ben Pruitt, a man shot to death four years earlier in Boady’s own home.
Ben’s daughter, Emma, has lived with Boady and Boady’s wife Dee ever since that awful night. Now fourteen years old, Emma has been growing distant, and soon makes a fateful choice that takes her far from the safety of her godparents. Desperate to bring her home, and to free an innocent man, Boady must do all he can to investigate Elijah’s case while fighting to save the family he has deeply come to love.
Written with energy, propulsion, and his characteristic pathos and insight, Eskens delivers another pitch-perfect legal thriller that reveals a twisted murder and explores faith, love, family, and redemption along the way.

Enjoyable, but a bit short and uneventful.
I love Allen Esken's books, and this one certainly didn't fail to entertain me, however it also didn't quite live up to its predecessors. It felt rather short and lacked the intensity some of his other titles have had. Still very much enjoyed it though. The cast who narrated were all great, although I should forewarn any listeners that the main character's narrator has a very sharp pronunciation of the letter S, to the point it gets quite uncomfortable to listen to at times.

Marvelous
Eskens is such a strong writer. He knows his craft well.The religious references were well placed and integral to the story line. Saving Emma gives the listener/reader something to look forward to each day, the kind of book where you don’t want to end, although the ending is very satisfying.

Enjoyed this more than I thought I would
It was a suggestion on audible, and after I read some reviews, I had to give it a try. At first, I didn't think this was my kind of book, but by the end, I really enjoyed it! I would highly recommend this book for a good listen. I really enjoyed all of the characters and the diversity of each. There was so much going on, but it was still tied together without any holes, in my opinion.
