After the best-selling, Costa First Novel award-winning Elizabeth Is Missing comes Whistle in the Dark....
How do you rescue someone who has already been found?
Jen's 15-year-old daughter goes missing for four agonizing days. When Lana is found, unharmed, in the middle of the desolate countryside, everyone thinks the worst is over. But Lana refuses to tell anyone what happened, and police draw a blank. The once happy, loving family return to London, where things start to fall apart. Lana begins acting strangely: making secretive phone calls, hiding books under her bed, sleeping with the light on.
As Lana stays stubbornly silent, Jen sets out to solve the mystery behind her daughter's disappearance herself....

Good story, slightly irritating narration
I found the opening and ending of this book very compelling but it dragged in a few places in the middle. Jen’s inner monologue was interesting and relatable, as was her relationship with her daughter. The main narrator’s “Lana voice” was a bit whiney and the narration over all I think didn’t quite do justice to the story. The separate narration of Lana’s voice was better.
Lovely portrayal of a difficult family situation though, and I enjoyed it as much as I did”Elizabeth is missing”.
