About this listen

The perfect family. The perfect new home. Until I found out about the missing girl…

When I get the keys to Forest Farm, my boyfriend Charlie’s family home, I know I am the luckiest girl alive. This gorgeous five-bed farmhouse with its sweeping gravel drive has been given to us no questions asked. And with Charlie’s parents living so close, I feel like the door has been shut on the secrets of my past and I’ve been welcomed into a brand-new family.

But soon my perfect new life seems more like a nightmare. I hear whispers about Charlie and me when I go to the village shop, and when we stroll to the local pub for drinks, the bar falls silent. At first, I can’t understand why, but then I learn about Sophie, Charlie’s girlfriend who disappeared when she was seventeen.

Charlie was on holiday when she vanished. But when I ask him about it, the coldness in his eyes chills me to the bone. How well do I know the man I’m living with?

And then one lonely evening, I make my way down to the basement. And under the light of the single bulb, scratched into the ugly grey walls, I see the message:

Sophie was here.

I have to find out what really happened. But in an isolated house, surrounded by a family I no longer trust, will I be in danger if I do?

A gripping and totally addictive story from Amazon best-selling author Kathryn Croft. Fans of Lisa Jewell and The Housemaid will be completely hooked on Sophie Was Here.

I think if this was a first draft of a debut novel I'd understand, and expect the author to go through a lot more development before publishing. the dialogue, the character development, the plot and prose... all of it is under worked and naive, doesn't quite ring true. It just needed far more work before publication, if not needed to just be a learning experience for the author who could try again.
