About this listen
The latest thriller from the Dagger-shortlisted author of The Boy at the Door and The Heart Keeper.
Who took Lucia Blix? Lucia went home from school with her new friend Josie for a playdate. Later that evening, Lucia's mother, Elisa, dropped her overnight things round and kissed her little girl goodnight. That was the last time she saw her daughter. The next morning, when Lucia's dad arrived to pick her up, the house was empty. No furniture, no family, no Lucia. Have you seen Lucia?

"Turns the raw power of maternal feeling into a gripping plot.... The author keeps the reader on tenterhooks with a deft balance of nail-biting tension and pure sympathy for her twisted heroine.” (Sunday Times)
“Dahl's sharp characterisations make her story feel fresh.” (Sunday Express)
“Intriguing and believable.... At once a compelling thriller and a beautiful meditation on grief." (Jane Shemilt)

Lovely narrators
Good the story line. Appropriately paced. Great perspectives of characters especially the little girl.
Not as many twists and turns as a nail biting thriller, but never the less.. was a very enjoyable listen.

Sleepover goes wrong
This was an audiobook listen.
This book might have felt different before I was a parent.
But as I am, all I felt in the first half of this book was anxiety. The Idea of not knowing where your child is because someone has taken them is a parents worst fear, and I feel like the writing put you in their shoes.
I loved the different POV's. It gave you what all sides were feeling.
Also what I first thought how the story would go at the beginning was 100% not how it went.
Which I was happy about that.
The only thing for me that would have made it a 5 Star read...
The ending.. I just wanted more..
SPOLIERS AHEAD SO STOP READING IF YOU DON'T WANT TO FIND OUT ANYTHING!!
I wanted to know like 3 months later how everyone was... How Lucia was coping being
back at home? Elisa.. Did she get into trouble for leaving the scene of an accident?
Were they trying to be a happy family again??
Apart from this I believe it is a very good read.

Disappointed
The narration really ruined this for me. I swear every sentence is read with the same dramatic tone and inflection, which yes is relevant for a missing child - but every sentence? Got very annoying very quickly; poor voice acting with limited range.
