About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Jenny Shephard is twelve years old and missing.

Her teacher, Sarah Finch, knows better than most that the chances of finding her alive are diminishing every day.

As a little girl Sarah's older brother went out to play and never come home. The strain of not knowing what happened to him tore her family apart.

When Sarah finds Jenny's body, beaten and abandoned in the woods near her home, she is drawn into the heart of the investigation and a media storm.

Her presence at the scene arouses suspicions. But it is not just the police that are watching her...

I always enjoy Jane Casey's novels but this one was not as good as her others. The narrator did not work for me, I found the voices very distracting and unappealing.

Let down by narration

I couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed when I saw that Jane Casey’s new book was a standalone novel and not the next book in the Maeve Kerrigan series that I’ve been hanging out for. But this was a brilliant book as good as any of her others and I’m sad I got through it far too quickly!

Jane Casey never disappoints

The main protagonist came across as reckless and self centered. While I thoroughly enjoy the author’s later police procedurals, this one has the police behaving very improbably. They fall all over themselves to tell the protagonist everything she wants to know, and even let her interview one of the suspects. Improbable and frustrating. The narrator was not to my taste

Oh dear
