About this listen

When high school buddies Larry Drayfus and Dan Cotwell take a backpacking trip into the Mogollon Mountains, nobody is concerned when they don’t come home exactly on time. Dan is a natural outdoorsman, and he knows the mountains well. Larry is smart and resourceful. But soon the boys’ families must accept the unthinkable, as little sign of them can be found in the hills.

For Larry’s sister - and Dan’s girlfriend - Joan, grief soon turns to mystery when some of her brother’s old acquaintances start calling with strange and threatening messages. In They Never Came Home, the truth of Larry and Dan’s disappearance is far more shocking than any of their loved ones can anticipate.

Editorial reviews

Another fast-paced teen thriller from Lois Duncan! No one is too worried when Larry and Dan are late coming hope from camping. It is only after the boys fail to come home for weeks that anyone begins to suspect the worst. The danger doesn't stop there though.… Performed by Jeanna Phillips, They Never Came Home is a real nail-biter. This book is packed with secrets and intrigue and Phillips is a professional when it comes to building suspense.
