About this listen

A completely addictive and unputdownable crime thriller

It’s dark as the young woman leaves work. Crossing the empty car park alone, she thinks about the warmth of her little house. But she doesn’t make it home that night. Or ever again…

Thirty years ago, Ruth Pritchard’s sixteen-year-old daughter, Elissa, went missing. Police were called, neighbours were interviewed, and even Ruth’s own husband was investigated, but the case went unsolved. Elissa disappeared forever.

Now, Ruth watches the local news and hears about another girl gone from the same streets where her beloved daughter was last seen, and her heart races. A distinctive red scarf was found at a crime scene, and she recognises it instantly. It belonged to Elissa.

After Ruth alerts the police, they rush to speak to her, but nobody answers the door. Her small home stands eerily quiet. Just like her daughter before her, Ruth has vanished into thin air.

Friends say that Ruth suspected someone close to home took Elissa. Others say she never trusted her husband again after he was questioned by police. Did she finally discover the truth behind her daughter’s disappearance? And will her friends and family ever see her again?

From bestselling author Carla Kovach, this absolutely gripping crime thriller is perfect for fans of Angela Marsons, Cara Hunter and Clare Mackintosh.

I have followed this whole series and because it was a while since the last book and I follow other authors, I'd forgotten how annoying this narrator is. She has a nice voice but every single chapter ends dramatically...might be ok if you actually read the book, but too over emphasised listening to the same words. Also the hysterical voices and sense of urgency at every turn are cringeworthy 😖The story itself was quite complicated and I found it a bit confusing. Also, the ongoing saga of Gina playing the victim in her private life is beyond a joke now...when will it end??? 😵‍💫 Without me giving anything away, I will say there is no concrete proof of anything she is supposedly guilty of and she won't call the accuser's bluff which is ridiculous, so book after book we're subjected to this whole martyr act...it's just too much 😒🤨

Far fetched and overdramatic 🙄
