About this listen

A compulsive debut thriller about motherhood, obsession, and how far we’d go to protect the ones we love

Five-year-old Ava Boone vanished without a trace six months ago. No witnesses, no sightings or arrests. But Grace Wright just moved in next door to the only suspect the case had: quiet, middle-aged Leland Ernest.

Recently divorced, Grace uprooted her two small children to start again and hopes the move will reset her crippling insomnia. With whispered neighborhood gossip and increasingly sleepless nights, Grace develops a fierce obsession with Leland and the safety of her children. Could she really be living next door to a child-kidnapper? A murderer?

With reality and dream blurring more each day, Grace desperately pursues the truth - following Ava’s family, demanding answers from the police - and then a body is discovered.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, the plot, characters and overall story was great.

I find it hard to get an audiobook that I can enjoy as the voices are often off or irritating so it was excellent to actually find one where the voices of ALL the characters aside from one were fitting to the characters and not irritating to listen to.

Great read overall

Refreshing to find a debut author with a narrative voice like a female version of Stephen King! Immersive experience! Will look out for more from this author.

a ‘mystery’ seen through the eyes of a twisted mind, it’s sometimes disturbing as this twisted mind belongs to a mother responsible for two small children, in general though, not much happens in this book

rather average

Probably above average story and I liked how it unfolded ( after a while), definately not predictable and was a realistic approach to a difficult subject for every parent.
Asks those questions of how far would you go to protect your child, we are all capable of extreme violence when backed into a corner. But violent thoughts as unsettling as they are, do not a murderer make!!!

interesting take on a murder/ child abduction

I had 2 goes at listening to this beem. The first time I gave up as found it annoying. Went back to give it a second go. Although I did finish but still have doubts about it. At times thought it ok others ready to give up. Have mixed feelings . Narration also could be annoying.

Unsure
