Story
Ava only left her daughter in the pushchair for five minutes. The buckle was fastened, and she was sure it was safe. But when she came downstairs, the door was open and Abi was gone - she walked down the road, past the Lovegoods' house, and was never seen again. A year later, the Lovegoods throw a housewarming party, showing off the results of their renovation. Ava doesn’t want to go. She can’t bear to look down that end of the road, to see the place where Abi vanished, and she doesn’t want to spend time with people who don’t share her grief.

And if Melissa Slade is innocent, what really happened to Ellie and Amber Slade?

Good story... but lots of “extras”
This story had a great twist and the characters were all well-developed… I truly enjoyed it. The narrators were also fabulous, especially the male narrator. However, there was a lot of unnecessary clutter and details that I thought were going to connect somehow, but really didn’t. It was also slightly slow, but all of that being said, it was clever and creative & I would recommend it.

A Guilty Pleasure....
Even though many aspects of the book were disturbing and anything but pleasurable, it was a treat to listen to a gripping story that really moved from the very beginning to the end. The book's characters were well-developed and compelling and the storyline had many twists and turns --- keeping you guessing the ending until the very last sentence was spoken. This was the first time that I have listened to the male narrator --- and he was superb. Hopefully, he will continue to narrate books in this genre. I highly recommend this title.
