About this listen

People don’t just disappear without a trace....

Shelby Tebow is the first to go missing. Not long after, Meredith Dickey and her six-year-old daughter, Delilah, vanish just blocks away from where Shelby was last seen, striking fear into their once-peaceful community. Are these incidents connected? After an elusive search that yields more questions than answers, the case eventually goes cold.

Now, eleven years later, Delilah shockingly returns. Everyone wants to know what happened to her, but no one is prepared for what they’ll find....

In this smart and chilling thriller, master of suspense and New York Times best-selling author Mary Kubica takes domestic secrets to a whole new level, showing that some people will stop at nothing to keep the truth buried.

This felt like I was listening to a movie, it was narrated SO well. The story had me guessing the whole way through, twist ending. Phenomenal.

The best narration I've heard, great story.

So cleverly written this book keeps you engaged from start to finish. I haven’t read any of Mary Kubica’s books before but I will definitely seek out more!

Wow

I don’t really know what to think of this book. The readers sound really false and overly dramatic which is a bit annoying. The characters don’t seem to go anywhere. The girl who is locked away for 11 years knows words such as ‘callisthenics’ even though she was taken at 6 and locked in a dark room??? That really bugged me and I couldn’t move on from it for the rest of the story. You don’t hear from her again anyway. It’s just….meh.

A little odd

Mystery, murder, kidnapping...this author writes from depth of knowledge and observation that makes the reader experience the pain and promise of the characters. A mystery set in small towns, it seems it could happen anywhere. The story rolls along at an even pace, with excellent narrators telling sides of different characters, each spoken in first person. Satisfying conclusion, with twists throughout. A brilliant read.

Story johs along with heart and intrigue

Main character is annoying and the performers speak soooo slowly. I picked the ending in the second chapter. Half the chapters could be skipped.

Honestly I don’t get why this was rated so highly by others
