About this listen

The little girl peered down the dark alleyway. She knew she wasn’t supposed to take this shortcut, and her mother would kill her if she found out, but it was raining and all she wanted was to get home quickly. She stepped forward, not seeing the silent figure following her into the dark passageway....

When nine-year-old Charlotte Standish goes missing from her street in the small town of Rydale Falls, it sparks a media frenzy. Detective Morgan Brookes leads a frantic hunt for the girl, but little Charlie seems to have vanished into thin air.

Chasing up a lead at Charlie’s school, Morgan is chilled to learn that this isn’t the first time a child has gone missing on this street. Another girl disappeared 15 years ago, and Morgan is the only one who thinks the cases could be related. But in the moment that she takes her eye off Charlie’s case to investigate the link between the two girls, another child, Macy, goes missing.

Then Morgan gets the call she was dreading, Charlie’s lifeless body has been found in a local park, lying in the shadow of a large tree. Morgan has let one girl down, but she refuses to give up on Macy. Determined to find an overlooked clue, she retraces Macy’s last steps. She’s getting close to the truth when her partner, Detective Ben Matthews, is attacked outside Morgan’s home. Is a twisted killer isolating Morgan from her team? And how long does Macy have left to live? Morgan must solve the case before more innocent lives are taken....

A nail-biting crime thriller that will keep you up all night, for fans of Angela Marsons, Rachel Abbott, and Patricia Gibney.

The killer was pretty obvious, and Morgan has to be the most naive and gullible female Detective of any book I've read or listened to 😖 despite her supposed crime solving ability where miraculously everything turns out well, it's just not realistic. Don't think I'll bother following this series as judging by the ending, I can more than likely guess how the next one will end as well! 🤨

Predictable 😒

Excellent book! Love the storyline and how even though we knew who did it, the storyline kept you wanting to know how it was going to play out. The author and narrator are both fantastic at bringing a story to life and keeping the listener engaged! I’m hooked!

There isn’t much you can write about in a kidnapping all of it is boring. I stuck in a few chapters but no no too dull and dreary.

No no no

Good story, very gripping. But the narrator's voice sounded like she should was reading a child's book. The character's sounded like children. Voice very distracting from story

Good story, narration bad
